NOTE: The date that appeared on the original chart as printed in GO Magazine 
was Oct. 1, 1968, a Tuesday. However, this chart debuted on the air on 
Wednesday, Oct. 2, so the date that appears above reflects when the chart 
actually took effect. Beginning with this week, the designation for “Heard 
first on WMCA” was dropped and the title of the survey was changed from 
“Fabulous 57” to “Famous 57.”
