NOTE: WMCA’s in-house printed survey was dated Sept. 3-9; however, the chart 
debuted on the air on Wednesday, Sept. 2, so the date that appears above 
reflects when it actually took effect.

On the printed survey, #56 carried the designation “a.m. only,” while #57 was
designated “p.m. only,” indicating the dayparting of airplay for those songs.
