Featured Surveys

Welcome! Let's reminisce and enjoy a few minutes cruisin' down Memory Lane to the tunes of our youth. You're on Blast from Your Past's Featured Radio Surveys page! Enjoy the moment ... again.

Every month--50 Years Ago--a cool vintage radio survey, or music chart (depending on how you know them), Top 40, Top 30, Top whatever, is featured here to coincide with BFYP's "50 Years Ago this Month" nostalgic blog. All surveys are from the Blast from Your Past Collection unless noted as radio surveys from other great sites.

Featured Survey / FEBRUARY 1975 ♪:
 
X-ROC 80 blasted across the El Paso, Texas/Mexico border to bring listeners their top tunes for the Love Month 1975. Their survey for week of February 26, 1975--was so small, they took to abbreviating tune titles and artist names ... like, Average White Band became A.W.B. (#7). New songs bubbling under at X-ROC included Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom" that soon became a huge hit. More fun stories about the station and the hits, and ♪ Rock On ... 50 Years Ago this Month ... and Enjoy the Moment Again! 
 
*Top Ten songs are posted here just as they appear on surveys, misspellings and all (tho I don't use all caps) ...
