If you’re a first timer, you can listen a number of ways: atpopgoldradio.com, tunein.com, the Tune In phone app, Apple Music or any smart speaker (“Alexa! Google! Siri! Play Pop Gold Radio on Tune In!”)
Survey Guy” Tom Natoli has been heard on Pop Gold Radio since 2016 and does at least two shows each month. In addition to chart information, Tom “drops some musical knowledge” about every song he plays, providing some tidbits behind the hits that perhaps you previously didn’t know.
One Saturday each month, Tom is in the Time Machine with theme shows and, in recent years, has presented the Top Motown Hits of the 60s, the First Wave of the British Invasion, The Top Doo Wop & Group Harmony Songs of WCBS-FM, and the Top One-Hit Wonders of the 60s, just to name a few.
One weekday each month, Tom reveals the results of “The List” in which, based on their tastes, hundreds of people rank the songs that made the national and New York top 20 weekly charts of a different month and year. Tom counts them down, along with some extras from the month in question, and announces the name(s) of the highest and lowest voter of each song on The List. Since March 2022, The List has examined just about every year from 1957 to 1988. If you’d like to participate in the monthly voting, and receive emails about Tom’s shows on Pop Gold Radio, here’s the link www.tunemagic.net/tomslist/
At The List site, in addition to placing your vote, you’ll also be able to view Tom’s upcoming show schedule and an archive of past List results (big thanks to Frank Thomas for the site!).
Each June, July and August, Tom looks back at the summer hits of various years. In addition, each November and December, he reviews the top hits of various years as well.
Beginning in September 2026, he’ll present a monthly series of the WABC New York Top 1500 Hits of the 60s.
We hope you have some time to tune in!
