Gordon Lightfoot’s “Don Quixote” is dropped again from the entry for “Beautiful,” which will be on its own the rest of the way.

“Day By Day” returns to the survey after a two-week absence.

Worth mentioning among the debuts: In Billboard, Donna Fargo’s first hit, “The Happiest Girl in the Whole U.S.A.,” hit number eleven on the pop chart and number one on the country chart; here it’ll be number one for four weeks. The Partridge Family’s version of “Breaking Up is Hard to Do,” a number 28 national hit, will reach number 13. And Young & Nash’s “War Song” will make it to number 36, versus 61 in Billboard.

Six songs with parentheses in the titles this week.
