Donovan jumps from 34 to five, while the Monkees debut at number 16 with another track from their first album—they weren’t releasing singles quickly enough for KJR.

One other of the week’s debuts did not make Billboard, and this one was released as a single—Jan & Dean’s version of Chuck Berry’s “School Days.”  It’ll peak next week at number 29.  Don Grady is best remembered for playing Robbie on My Three Sons, but he was also a musician, and his “The Children of St. Monica” has one of the biggest chart differentials we will encounter: it only got to number 132 in Billboard but will make it up to number three here.  We’ll see him again here on the survey in 1967 with the group the Yellow Balloon.
