KPOI Weekly Music Charts Frank W Hoffmann

KPOI was a leading Top 40 AM radio outlet in the Hawaiian market during the 1960s and 1970s. This volume reproduces many of the station's pop music surveys during the 1971-1975 period. Also includes the final Top 300 Hits compilation (dated 1973) published annually by the station beginning in 1960. 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.
