There is no chart in the microfilm of either the December 25 or January 1 issues of the newspaper, but the “last week” column for January 8 shows different numbers from the December 18 survey, so at least one of those missing weeks has to have had a chart.  I’m going with the assumption that there was no December 25 chart and that the January 1 chart either didn’t appear in the paper, or the page is missing from the microfilm. So here we’ve got the missing survey, re-created as best I can from the “last week” column of the following week.

Six debuts this week, and none of them will do very differently here from how they did nationally. The biggest difference is that of the Kinks’ “Apeman,” a number 45 Billboard hit that will make it to number 25.
