Another week where I don’t have the survey, so the numbers are from the last week column of the following week, so there are some holes.

We actually have two debuts that did not make the Billboard chart. “(Walkin’ Down a) Country Road” by Tom Sparks, recorded in Seattle, will get to number 48 here; “Echo Valley 2-6809” was a track from a Partridge Family album, so I don’t know why it’s credited to David Cassidy, but it will make it up to number ten.

“Mammy Blue” by the Pop Tops was a big international hit that only got to number 57 in the US, but it will get to number three here. That leaves Cher’s “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” (number one for two weeks BB/number one for seven weeks KJR) and “Only You Know and I Know” by Delaney & Bonnie (20/28).

John Lennon’s Imagine is the first album to enter the survey since May. I can’t find any information about the Road Home, a pop-rock group whose “Keep it in the Family” only got to number 120 in Billboard but will reach number five here. That leaves two other debuts, Stevie Wonder’s “If You Really Love Me,” a number eight national hit that will get to number 19, and “One Fine Morning” by Lighthouse, which will exactly match its number 24 BB peak.

Osmonds in the top two spots!
