The Scuth contributes strong airplay for Toto, Cat Stevens, Styx, and Firefall. Meanwhile the Northeast does th trick for Steve Forbert, George Thorogood, and Robert Johnson, whc is also finding air in the West. Queen gets out of proportion sales in the West while The Doobies sell pookl , in the NE inspite of strong iirplay '..here. The Doobies sales RETAIL TOP 15s number is -;(p out of wac% that it looks wrong. The Radio Action Chart, seen above, takes the albums on our graph pages and puts them in gain/loss order. It show- the speed they are moving .744 Billy Joel .855 Rod Stewart .786 Blues Bros. .850 Blues Bros. and the direction (up or down the chart) cf the movement for each record. .739 Blues Bros. .786 Rod Stewart .850 Rod Stewart .705 Blues Bros. Again, this week there are many fewer gainers than losers. We already .697 Rod Stewart .594 Billy Joel .554 E.
