Bobby Sherman takes a leap up the survey.

Joni Mitchell’s original of “Big Yellow Taxi” appears on the survey, joining the Neighborhood cover version as a joint entry.  They’ll be listed together for two more weeks, then drop off.  Joni’s version was a number 67 Billboard hit.

Diana Ross’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” number one for three weeks nationally, will peak here at number eight.  The other three debuts will come relatively close to their BB peaks: Tom Jones (14BB/23KJR), Hotlegs (22/19), and the Assembled Multitude (16/12).
