WPOP's earliest music lists were numbered which puts the first issue around September 24, 1956. Distributed through record stores, they were first called the "Top Music Survey" and listed 40 top-selling singles. For a few weeks in early 1958 they were published in the Sunday Herald, a statewide newspaper published in Bridgeport. By September, 1962 the surveys listed 41 tunes known as the "Magic 41." By early 1964 The New WPOP was issuing "The Pop Fourteen Plus Ten," for a total of 24 songs. By summer the "Good Guys Tunedex" listed just 20 singles plus the top ten albums. Those gave way to "Sing Along Surveys" in early 1965 listing 40 tunes. By the summer of 1966 the surveys bore no particular name and trimmed the list to 30 selections. The number of records varied until 1968 when surveys appeared exclusively in Go Magazine (60 songs). In 1969 the list became the "Boss Music Survey." In 1970 Bob Paiva turned them into the "Good Guys Popular Music Surveys," listing 60 songs, and they stayed that way for several years. In late 1973 the last version of the weekly charts became WPOP's "Pop 30."
