...the chart methodology of the early 1980's was used. Since radio playlists were used instead of actual spins, the older songs on the chart would drop much faster which made the old American Top 40 countdowns with Casey Kasem so fresh. Also, sales were taken into account in a subtle way... Compare this chart with the current Mediabase chart or the current Ryan Seacreast AT40 chart. Which is fresher??
