“Eleanor Rigby” and “Yellow Submarine” switch places and “Good Day Sunshine” jumps from 34 to 3, giving the Beatles the top three spots and four in the top ten.  It’s 1964 all over again!

Only five debuts this week.  All were BB Top 40 hits, and all will do pretty similarly here to how they did there, with the exception of “7 and 7 Is” by Love, a number 33 Billboard hit that will get to number 14 here at KJR.

In the span of four slots on the survey, we have titles with 1000, 96 and 7 in them, and two slots above that is “A Million and One.”

Trade Winds--Mind Excursion


You can’t jump much higher than from 50 to 2.  The two sides of the Beatles record have the top two spots in the survey.  Plus, two tracks from their new album Revolver debut this week.  And “Drive My Car,” from the previous LP, drops all the way off from number seven.

“See You in September” by the Happenings returns after a week’s absence.

Other than the two Beatles LP cuts, all the debuts were Billboard hits, most of them big ones.  “Mind Excursion” by the Trade Winds was a number 51 BB hit that will reach number seven here; conversely, Lee Dorsey’s “Working in the Coal Mine” was a number eight BB hit that will get no higher than this week’s number 42 position.  The other debuts were all top twenty Billboard hits that will be top twenty KJR hits.
