“Reflections,” the first Supremes single giving Diana Ross billing above the group, makes a big leap into the top ten.

A good week for numeric debuts, with “Twelve Thirty,” “Sixteen Tons” and “Zip Code.”

The last debut we had that did not make Billboard at all, other than album cuts not released at singles, was in April (Boenzee Cryque).  But that streak ends here with Spanky & Our Gang’s “If You Could Only Be Me.”  It was the b-side of the number 31 BB hit “Making Every Minute Count,” which KJR didn’t go for, and it’ll peak next week at number 39.  Nilsson’s version of the Beatles’ “You Can’t Do That,” in which he sings snippets of other Beatle songs, only got to number 122 in Billboard; here it’s number 49 this week, then starting next week KJR will list it as the b-side to its actual b-side, “Ten Little Indians.”  Listed in that manner, the single will peak here at number 33.  Paul Revere & the Raiders’ “I Had a Dream,” a number 17 BB hit, will get to number four here, while the aforementioned “Sixteen Tons” by Tom Jones will peak next week at number 38, beating its number 68 Billboard ranking.
