“Hello Goodbye” and “I Am the Walrus” swap spots in their entry; they’ll stay in that order for the rest of their time on the survey.

Only five debuts, so I’ll mention them all.  The Beach Boys’ “Darlin’” was a number 19 BB hit that will peak at number 15 here.  South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela’s version of “Up-Up and Away” got to number 71 in Billboard; here it’ll peak next week at number 31 and then drop off the survey.  Country crossover social commentary “Skip a Rope” by Henson Cargill was a number one country hit that made it to number 25 on the pop Hot 100; here it’ll go to number ten.  The Hollies, after a hot streak from mid-1966 to mid-1967, had at this point entered a slump on the US charts—“Dear Eloise” only got to number 50 in Billboard, though here it’ll make it up to number nine.  And Roger Miller’s “Old Toy Trains” is another Billboard Christmas Chart hit, which is spending its only week on the KJR survey.
