Hollies--He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

First column is position on the year-end chart, second
column is peak position on the survey, third column is peak position in
Billboard.
“Up Around the Bend” was listed as the b-side to “Run
Through the Jungle” every week they were on the survey, but otherwise it seems
like a pretty reasonable tally of the year.
The only record that peaked in the top two during 1970 that isn’t here
is the Poppy Family’s “Which Way You Goin’ Billy,” which was number two on
January 16 then faded quickly.
“Jennifer Tompkins” and “As the Years Go By” sure stand out.
