By mid-January 1965, the Detroit Sound Survey charts was no longer printed for the public in general. The WXYZ charts, as featured above, were instead published solely for Detroit record retailers, music outlets and one-stop jobbers and distributors only.
These Radio 1270 top 40 charts was the largest of the WXYZ Detroit Sound Survey charts ever printed, having measured 17.5″ W x 22 L” inches in size. These charts were primarily used for weekly record rank based by popularity, position, retail sales, and were used for record retail rack displays as well.
For the very first time, Motor City Radio Flashbacks will be featuring these extremely rare WXYZ 1965 surveys throughout the new year, 2024.

XYZ was always my favorite. Lee Alan on the Horn got me through my teens safely. Fred Wolf used to do the car races at one time.
It was my favorite also…l also was paid 1 dollar for the “bucks for breaks” for this station break…l can resist a pretty face and ward off temptation but you just can’t keep me from that twelve seven o station…ancient history!
