The Partridge Family’s “Breaking Up is Hard to Do” drops off the survey from number 17.

“Think (About It)” by Lyn Collins, a number 66 Hot 100 hit (though number 9 on the soul chart), will get to number 16 here. Leon Russell’s “Tightrope,” number eleven nationally, will stop at number 26. And Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “From the Beginning” will make it to number five, though it was only a number 39 BB hit.
