The Marriage of Radio, Retail and Record Labels
It was the decade when Radio, Records and Retail worked hand-in-hand together to take a hit all the way to the top with fans. Radio played it and announced what they were playing, record labels worked directly with DJs to play their music and host local concerts bringing some of the biggest groups to town ,Radio created a top 40 list of what they played each week gave it to the records stores and consumers used that list to buy music.
