The WJBK FORMULA 40 hits was compiled, tabulated and produced by Radio 1500’s Bob Martin and Rosemary McGann.
This survey was tabulated overall by each record’s popularity and its appeal, sales, listener requests and record airplays based on the judgement of WJBK Radio.

Previewed for the week of November 11, 1957
Note: By year’s end, 1957, Casey Kasem was no longer at WJBK 1500. Kasem left Detroit for Buffalo’s WBNY, New York, in November 1957. To fill Kasem’s departure, Dan Baxter became the new replacement. Baxter was hired for the all-night shift on WJBK.
Eventually, by early-1958 Tom Clay would fill the time slot allocated the same hours Casey Kasem held prior his exit on WJBK.

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A special THANK YOU to Greg Innis, Livonia, Mi., for previously sharing this WXYZ music chart with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
Before there was Bill Drake, Ron Jacobs, Paul Drew in the mid-1960s, in the beginning of Top 40 radio in the 1950s there was Mike Joseph. In essence, before the KHJ phenomenon was to hit the radio top 40 industry in 1965, Joseph was the perennial radio programmer who birthed the shortened ’30 hits playlist’ in Buffalo’s WKBW in 1957.
Mike Joseph also transcended the short playlist concept here in Detroit when WKMH hired the legendary programmer in 1963. Under Mike Joseph, WKMH became the former on October 31, 1963 — becoming the new WKNR Radio 13 — short playlist and all — and the rest is Detroit radio history.
In the early 1980s, Mike Joseph would return back to Detroit. WJR and station owner Capital Cities Communications hired Joseph for program consultancy for its adult, easy-listening WJR-FM — turning it instead into a new and successful Top 40 powerhouse in the Motor City in 1982 with his ‘Hot Hits’ formula — the new FM WHYT 96.3.
