A special THANK YOU to Larry Good of Saline, MI., for recently contributing this featured WXYZ chart — January 1965 — with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

We are pleased to say Larry also contributed 16 WXYZ charts from 1964!

Thank you Larry for this contribution, inasmuch, this site realizes these 1964 WXYZ charts are scarce, having become a most difficult find today. Much appreciated 🙂

Record World became one of three weekly music trade magazines (Billboard; 1894, Cash Box; 1942, being the other two) when it began its publication in 1946 as Music Vendor. The MV title was changed to Record World, April 1964, and so remained under that banner until it ceased its publication, April 1982.
