 SPECIAL NOTE:  There was no on-the-air countdown this week, due to 
 the Top 200 (of all time) Special.  Positions were determined from 
 the mailed survey (the Top 14), the "LW" column in next week's 
 mailed survey, and selected numbers provided by "Billboard" 
 Magazine's reporting stations section.

 NOTE: #'s 15, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 28, 30 aren't on the printed list
 and weren't aired this week. 
 #'s 15, 19, and 30 fall off the Top 30 next week and, since the
 countdown wasn't aired, the actual songs are unknown. Note that last 
 week, Magic Man by Robert Winters & Fall was #10, Too Much Time
 On My Hands by Styx was #15, You Better You Bet by The Who
 was #17, and Make That Move by Shalamar was #23.
