The top nine records stay the same from last week, but in a different order.

The Free Movement’s “I’ve Found Someone of My Own” returns to the survey after an absence of five weeks that followed its first three weeks on the chart. It’ll spend four weeks here this time around, peaking at number 42 next week.

All five of the debuts were Top 40 Billboard hits. The first three will do about as well here as they did nationally; the exceptions are Denise LaSalle’s “Trapped By a Thing Called Love” (13BB/35KJR) and “I’d Love to Change the World” by Ten Years After (40/21).

John Lennon’s Imagine LP vanishes and is replaced by the title song, listed as an album cut; after two more weeks the (LP) designation will disappear.

Of the eight other debuts, one did not make the Hot 100: early-60s star James Darren with his version of “Mammy Blue,” a number 107 BB hit that will spend just this one week on our survey. Also worth mentioning are “A Natural Man” by Lou Rawls (17BB/3KJR), “Two Divided By Love” by the Grass Roots (16/6), and Coven’s “One Tin Soldier” (26/11).
