Songs that were played at least once on KHJ but not put on chart: Hot Stuff; The Rolling Stones
In 1976, when The Beatles' Got to Get You Into My Life was re-released, it received considerable airplay on KHJ, but was not listed on their chart nor included in their year-end countdown. |
* 1973 Issues 435-439 are undated issues from the Survey Of Hits publication. Regular KHJ issues for these five weeks were large store-display size only. 1980 Issue 789 is from the 10/31/80 Survey Of Hits.
** Surveys for March 28 and April 4, 1978 were both numbered 662 and appear on the same page.
Please give that page a bit more time to load.
