 SPECIAL NOTE:  Again this week, there is no number one song at the 
 top of the survey!  
      
 NOTE:  Note that WABC did not report numbers 1, 3, 4, 13, 15, 
 16, 17, and 20. 
 The songs at these positions probably had a harder edge to 
 them, such as:
 Physical - Olivia Newton-John (MCA)
 Centerfold - J. Geils Band (EMI America)
 Young Turks - Rod Stewart (Warner Brothers)
 Let's Groove - Earth, Wind and Fire (ARC)
 Waiting On A Friend - Rolling Stones (Rolling Stones)
 Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (Columbia)
 Shake It Up - The Cars (Elektra)
 Call Me - Skyy (Salsoul)
 Mirror, Mirror - Diana Ross (RCA) 
 Spirits In The Material World - The Police (A&M)
 Love Is Alright Tonite - Rick Springfield (RCA)
        
 As WABC's music format edged to a more adult sound, fewer harder 
 songs (of any variety - rock, urban, etc.) were played or noted.
