Another week with no chart appearing in the microfilm version of the newspaper, so positions come from the “last week” column of the next week’s survey, and some songs are missing.

“One Bad Apple” suddenly bobs toward the top.

The Hollies are in the midst of a slow period, at least in the US; between mid-1970 and mid-1972 they had no singles enter the US Hot 100. “Gasoline Alley Bred” was a number 14 hit in the UK, though, and here it’ll get up to number 21.

Linda Ronstadt’s “(She’s a) Very Lovely Woman,” a number 70 BB hit, will get to number 42 here, while the Jackson Five’s “Mama’s Pearl,” number two nationally, will stop at number 29. Tom Jones’s “She’s a Lady” will exactly match its Billboard peak, spending one week at number two, but it’s worth mentioning that it will spend 19 weeks on the survey.  Creedence’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” will spend 15 weeks, which is unusual considering it will only get up to number twelve (eight nationally). That leaves Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee,” which will spend 18 weeks on the survey, though it will not quite match its number one BB peak, stopping at number three.
