“Something” and “Come Together” swap places in the Beatles’ entry, and they’ll stay in that order for the rest of their weeks on the survey.  Of which there are still many.

The original survey lists 22 in the last week column for “Hot Fun in the Summertime,” though in fact number 22 last week was “Is That All There Is,” which drops off the list this week.  Sly and the Family are actually debuting way up at number 21, but they’ll only spend four weeks on the survey with a peak of number 13, as opposed to their number two peak in Billboard.  And if it seems a little odd for a summertime song to be debuting in November, it had been on the BB Hot 100 since early August.

The other debuts will all do at least slightly better here than nationally: Rick Nelson’s reemergence as a country-rock singer, with his version of Bob Dylan’s “She Belongs to Me” (33BB/15KJR); Tommy Roe’s “Jam Up Jelly Tight” (8/3), Bobby Sherman’s “La La La (If I Had You)” (9/4); the Clique’s follow-up to “Sugar On Sunday,” “I’ll Hold Out My Hand” (45/28); and, suggesting the impending end of the 60s, Petula Clark’s final appearance on the KJR Fab 50, “No One Better Than You” (93/43).
