Eight debuts this week, all of which made the Billboard Hot 100. One just barely, though—British pop singer Lally Stott’s “Chirpy Chirpy, Cheep Cheep” was a number 92 hit; here it’ll make it to number 27. That’s the only one of the debuts that will do significantly better here, while some will do worse: King Floyd’s “Groove Me” (6BB/15KJR), Ike and Tina Turner’s version of “Proud Mary” (4/26), “Don’t Let the Green Grass Fool You” by Wilson Pickett (17/45), and “Treat Her Like a Lady” by the Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose (3/14).
A lot of songs with first names in the titles: Bobby, Timothy, Amos, Bridget, Scotty, Petula, and two Marys.
