The Carpenters surge to number two.

Last week Miguel Rios’ “Song of Joy” peaked at number 21 in its fifth week on the survey; this week it’s gone.

The four highest-debuting records were all big hits both nationally and in Seattle.  The Neighborhood’s version of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” was a number 29 BB hit, while here we’ll see it get to number eleven.  “The Boys in the Band” by the Boys in the Band, a soul-rock record from a movie called The Phynx, just cracked into the top 50 nationally and will do the same here.
