The following note appeared on this week’s printed survey:

MONTHS OF EXPERIENCE, study and testing, and a survey of top record
men in the nation, have convinced WMCA that there can be no real
accuracy in measuring disc popularity beyond the first 21 tunes!

This week WMCA introduces the magic “TOP 21”--destined to become the
big number in music--the latest most authentic guide to New York’s
top tunes plus an up-to-the-minute report on up-and-coming albums
and singles heading for the “TOP 21”!

Thanks for making WMCA your music station!
