I would phone the stores every week. Phone-in requests were also considered. We were the "test" market for L.A., so usually ahead of the country.Danny Darenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-29053978136506933592013-02-26T08:09:13.255-08:002013-02-26T08:09:13.255-08:00Without going into the why's and what-fors on ...Without going into the why's and what-fors on how the national magazine pop chart rating services operated at that time -- "Record World", "Cashbox", and the ubiquitous "The Billboard" --<br />suffice it to say that, by their very nature of being accumulative tabulations resulting from a wide variety of sources from all manner of radio markets (ie., individual broadcaster surveys, rack jobbers lists, record companies and retail record shop purported sales totals, etc.), a time lag was inherent (in those pre-computerized, no Internet days) in MANUALLY collecting, assessing and then compiling national chart listings which SUMMARIZED the whole of input sources collected at any given point. And with each radio/retail audience/consumer market keenly reflective of their own local likes/dislikes, the accumulative nationwide pop charts balanced out these market disparities to provide listings which were not always "in tune" (pun intended) with individual contributor music survey rankings.Lord Darth Rageoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504572362460384765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-54634528923707180252013-02-26T08:07:41.774-08:002013-02-26T08:07:41.774-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lord Darth Rageoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504572362460384765noreply@blogger.com
