SPECIAL NOTES:  The information and the goodbye at the bottom of 
the list is taken from Metropolitan Report, Volume #288H.  This is 
indeed WABC's last music survey.

The Top 10 does not have a #1 (for the 10th week in WABC's Top 40 
history, all occurring in 1982) or #8.  More than likely, and 
comparing WABC's chart to crosstown Top 40 WYNY, those two 
positions would be "I Love Rock 'n Roll" by Joan Jett & the 
Blackhearts (on the Boardwalk label) and "We Got the Beat" by the 
Go-Go's (on I.R.S.), or possibly "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone 
(Columbia).  These songs were never played on WABC, which had 
softened its format to a more Adult Contemporary sound by early 
1982.

On Monday, 10 May 1982, at 12:00 (noon), WABC ended its twenty-two 
year run as a Top 40 station, adopting a talk format.
