WSAI dominated the Top 40 AM radio market in Cincinnati during the 1960s. This volume reproduces many of the weekly pop music surveys during the 1960-1964 period. Complements the previously published edition covering 1965-1969. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
This volume presents a compilation of weekly pop music charts from WSAI radio in Cincinnati, covering the years 1960-1964. Frank Hoffmann, an experienced researcher of radio history, has meticulously gathered and cross-referenced data from various public domain sources, including original survey sheets, music trade periodicals, and specialized websites. The primary aim is to provide an accurate chronological record of popular music trends during this pivotal period, correcting errors found in original publications and online transcriptions.
This compilation serves as a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts of 1960s popular music and radio history. The author's dedication to cross-referencing multiple sources aims to provide the most accurate representation of weekly music charts available. The work is presented as a factual compilation, intended to correct and consolidate existing public domain data. Its utility lies in its detailed chronological presentation of chart data from a significant period in music history.
