Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WJJD was a leading AM radio Top 40 outlet in the Chicago market during the 1950s. This volume reproduces the station's weekly pop music surveys from that era. Also includes a thumbnail historical sketch for the station. Like the other radio charts titles, my goal was to provide a convenient chronological compilation of weekly surveys with corrections of the considerable errors found in both the original sources and in translation to online sites. These radio charts - which exist in the public domain - can be found in a multitude of sources, including original published sheets distributed via retail outlets, mail inquiries, etc., notation of on-air broadcasts, back issues of area newspapers (where stations are located) and music trade periodicals, specialized reference books, and websites interested in historical documentation, most notably, Oldiesloon, musicradio77, and ARSA. I employed multiple sources in the compilation of each radio chart volume in order to provide the most accurate data possible.
