Andy Kim continues his Seattle success with “Rainbow Ride,” which will go to number two despite being only a number 49 BB hit.  Brian Hyland’s version of “Tragedy” will go to number six despite being only a number 56 BB hit.  John Sebastian’s folky ballad “She’s a Lady” will go to number 42 despite being only a number 84 BB hit.  O.C. Smith’s “Isn’t it Lonely Together” will go to number 35 despite being only a number 63 BB hit (okay, not so big a deal).  That leaves Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man,” a number one country hit and number 19 pop hit at Billboard, which will peak at number 21 here.

I kind of like “Hey Jude”/”Revolution” being immediately followed by “Both Sides Now.”

Last week’s number 19, 20, 21 and 22 songs all drop off the survey.

All the week’s debuts were Hot 100 hits, a couple not by much: “Yesterday’s Rain” by Spanky & Our Gang (94BB/37KJR) and Nick DeCaro’s easy listening instrumental “If I Only Had Time” (95/40).  Most of the others will do slightly better here than nationally, but none to the degree that it’s worth mentioning.
