60's Satellite Survey

[mitchm]

I have never liked the way Billboard dates their surveys and issues. If this issue was dated for the week ending 02/06/65, it was probably available for sale roughly January 25th and based on information that may have been most relevant for somewhere between January 10th and 15th. I always just refer to the chart date of the Hot 100 and try not to imply that it is the top songs for that exact date. I do understand why Billboard dates the issues the way they do (and they did make a one week correction last January), and it is easy to understand why it is assumed by most people that the issue dated 02/06 reflects the music of that particular day, but it is very misleading. It was impossible for Billboard to get good information to compile their charts any faster than they did back in 1965, but dating the issue about 2 weeks into the future only compounded the problem.

I am also very appreciative of your efforts here, doofus67. I usually listen to this countdown on demand sometime around mid-week and it is nice to have the whole countdown logged somewhere that I have easy access to. Keep up the good work.

You're very welcome. I don't think of it as work -- just a lot of fun.

Thanks doofus67 for this recap. Just wondering why Dave didn't go with 2-29-64, which would have been closer to this week.

Personally, I understand the reasoning behind SiriusXM's choice of chart dates from week to week.  But I'll get the official word, straight from the Survey's executive producer, Lou Simon.  In the coming weeks, I'll be an in-studio guest on his Sunday night talk show, The Diner.  Somewhere along the line, I'll ask him directly.
