Only three debuts, after only four last week. Dutch pop duo Mouth & MacNeal will be number one for two weeks with “How Do You Do?”, a number eight Billboard hit. Funk group the Jimmy Castor Bunch will get to number two with “Troglodyte,” a number six national hit. And popular Italian singer Mal, formerly of the Primitives, had his only US success with “Mighty Mighty and Roly Poly,” which will go to number 22 but was only a number 108 BB hit.
