Nilsson--Jump Into the Fire
|
A very unusual amount of shuffling around this week. Nine
debuts. The top three songs were at 8, 11, and 12 last week. Songs jumping 14
to 5, 25 to 9, 26 to 11, 29 to 12, 28 to 14, 35 to 17, 38 to 19, and 46 to 20.
Songs falling from 1 to 10, 4 to 16, 13 to 30, and 20 to 40. Songs dropping off
the survey from 15, 19, 22, and 24.
Of the nine debuts, two will significantly top their
national performance. The sunshiny “Number Wonderful” by female pop vocal group
Rock Flowers, a number 95 Billboard hit, will get to number 27, and Nilsson’s “Jump
Into the Fire,” number 27 in BB, will go to number four. And two will
significantly fall short: the Bee Gee’s “My World” (16BB/35KJR) and Donny
Elbert’s version of “I Can’t Help Myself” (22/39).
Nilsson has the top and bottom slots.
