Two more albums debut on the survey this week, which seems like a trend, but we won’t see another for a few months. Paul McCartney’s Ram will spend two weeks at number two (stuck behind Tapestry), while James Taylor’s Mud Slide Slim will peak at number 20. That leaves just two singles entering the chart: Joe Cocker’s “Black-Eyed Blues” made Billboard as the b-side of “High Time We Went” (which we won’t see on the survey) and will get to number 16, and “Never Ending Song of Love” by Delaney & Bonnie & Friends will just beat its number 13 BB peak by getting to number eleven.
