Stevie Wonder--Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday


The Beatles make the biggest leap we’ve seen in a long time.

The “suddenly overstaying its welcome” award for this week goes to Evie Sands’ “Any Way That You Want Me,” which plummets off of the survey from number 17.

All the debuts were top 30 hits in Billboard.  “Fortunate Son” was actually the b-side of the CCR record; after being listed here alone for two weeks it’ll start appearing as “Down on the Corner”/”Fortunate Son” and in that configuration will peak at number four.  In Billboard DOTC got to number three and FS to number 14.

The Guess Who’s “Undun,” a number 22 BB hit, will get to number seven in a short run on the survey.  “Try a Little Kindness” by Glen Campbell, number 23 on the Billboard pop chart and number two country, will peak at number twelve.  And two will come up well short of their national peaks—British pop-rock group Vanity Fare’s “Early in the Morning” (12BB/41KJR) and Stevie Wonder’s “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday” (7/33).
