Each week, WAER surveys ten area record stores for New Music and R&B sales. This chart is an average of figures obtained on Dec. 3, 1982.

And yet another year comes to a close... And what a year it's been! WAER marked its 35th Anniversary on April 13th, but the celebration continued right through the year. Our format has grown to include more black music, as well as a stepped-up emphasis on imports and independent records. It's too bad the currrent depression is hitting the music industry so hard - we lost alot of record friends to it. Next year will be better!

Eric Arnum
Music Director
