The last week column is actually two weeks ago, as there was no December 30 survey.  Which means there’s more jumping around within the survey than usual, more debuts, and a couple of high debuts (11 and 14).

Just one of the debuts was not a Billboard hit: “Sound of Children” by the Doodletown Pipers, who were a huge (in number of members, not in popularity) vocal group of squeaky-clean young people that showed up a lot on TV variety shows.  It will only be on the survey this one week.  The week’s high debut, the Troggs’ “Wild Thing” done by a Robert Kennedy impersonator, will peak at number six but only spend four weeks on the survey; it only got to number 20 nationally.  “How Do You Catch a Girl” by KJR favorites Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs peaked at number 27 in BB but will make it to number ten here.  “Where Will the Words Come From” by Gary Lewis & the Playboys was a number 21 Billboard hit that will get up to number eight here; this was the first of Gary’s singles to not make the BB top twenty and it marked the beginning of his decline phase, but at KJR the decline will be less noticeable.  Also worth mentioning: Lesley Gore’s “California Nights” (16BB/6 KJR), jazzman Cannonball Adderley’s “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” (11/22) and “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” by the Casinos (6/13).
