Last week “Which Way You Goin’ Billy?” jumped from number ten to number two; this week it drops back down to number ten.  Where it’ll be again next week.

Back-to-back Greaves!

One non-BB debut this week: Buffalo’s The Road will get to number 33 with their soundalike version of the Buffalo Springfield’s three-year-old “Mr. Soul.”  Austin’s The Clique make the survey for the third and final time with “Sparkle and Shine,” produced and co-written (and sounding just like) Tommy James; it just made it to number 100 in Billboard, and will get to number 44 here.  Brook Benton’s “Rainy Night in Georgia” will stop at number 29; it was a number four hit nationally.
