The survey comparisons just goes to show you how FAR KFXM & K/men were ahead of the nation. That's why record promoters flocked here in groves, hoping that their records were going to get some air play.
That's just one more reason WHY the IE was such an important maket.

"IN THE YEAR 2973"... oops, Doug, your headline date is far ahead of its time -- like Zager & Evans.
