Charts on 1 6

[Twocky61]

Who remembers dialing 1 6 on the phone to listen to the weeks chart hits?

Here in the uk in the late 60's & early 70's you could dial 1 6 on your telephone to listen to the weeks chart hits

Was this the same as Dial a Disc?

FOUND THIS ONLINE SOUNDS SIMILAR VERY SIMILAR.

Dial-a-Disc 1971

Dial-a-disc was a service ran by the GPO (now BT) enabling callers to listen to a song down a telephone line.
