Two of the six debuts will do significantly better here than nationally: “Colorado” by folkie singer/songwriter Danny Holien (66BB/21KJR) and the Move’s original version of “Do Ya” (93/18). On the other hand, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” by the Temptations, a number one Billboard hit, will only get to number 17.
