The Rolling Stones’ entry drops the Exile on Main Street LP and will remain simply “Happy” for its remaining weeks on the survey.

Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” was of course not a Billboard hit because it was not released as a single, but KJR played it anyway. It’ll spend six weeks on the survey, peaking at number 28.

“Lady Eleanor” by British folk group Lindisfarne was a big hit in the UK but only got to number 82 in the US; here it’ll reach number 23. Rick Nelson’s comeback hit “Garden Party” will also reach number 23, nowhere near its number six national peak.
