Stylistics--People Make the World Go Round


Fourteen records drop off as four debut and the survey becomes the Fabulous 40.
For this week only, “Don Quixote” is listed ahead of “Beautiful” on the Gordon Lightfoot record.

Two of the four debuts, “People Make the World Go Round” by the Stylistics and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s final hit “Someday Never Comes,” were both number 25 Billboard hits that will peak at number 27 here. The Stylistics will remain on the survey for two weeks longer than CCR.

Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway’s soft soul duet “Where is the Love” will reach number one, whereas nationally it stopped at number five. French pop singer Danyel Gerard’s international hit “Butterfly,” which only got to number 78 in Billboard, will reach number 13 here.
