Last week’s number 14 and 15 records are gone this week, “I Love How You Love Me” and “If I Can Dream.”

Although it’s only February 7th, there are only ten songs left on the survey that debuted in 1968 (they’re the ones at 1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 22 and 34).

All the debuts were Hot 100 hits.  Teen idol Connie Francis faded away about 64-65, and now she’s back as easy listening Connie Francis, with “The Wedding Cake,” a number 91 BB hit that will get to number 38 here.  “Anything You Choose,” by the fading-in-popularity Spanky & Our Gang, will handily beat its number 86 Billboard ranking with a number 20 peak here.  Of the others, the only one at all worth mentioning is “Lovin’ Things” by the Grass Roots, number 49 nationally versus number 29 here.
