Five debuts this week, and not much variation between their performances here and nationally. Canadian Keith Hampshire’s “Daytime Night-Time” will get no higher than its number 28 debut position, but in Billboard it only got to number 51. Anne Murray’s version of the Loggins & Messina album track “Danny’s Song” was a number seven BB hit but will stop at number 14 here at KJR. Jermaine Jackson’s doo-wop remake “Daddy’s Home” will spend three weeks at number three, versus its number nine national peak. “Killing Me Softly With His Song” by Roberta Flack will spend seven weeks at number one, rather than five, and “Reelin’ & Rockin’” by Chuck Berry will just edge its national peak (27/23).

The Doobie Brothers’ version of “Jesus is Just Alright” was just alright nationally, peaking at number 35 in Billboard, but we’ll see it get to number eight here. “Dueling Banjos” by Weissberg and Mandell, from the movie Deliverance, spent four weeks at number two in BB, stuck behind Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” but here it’ll get to number one for a week. That leaves three more debuts: “The World is a Ghetto” by War (7BB/24KJR), “Could it Be I’m Falling in Love” by the Spinners (4/10), and Elvis Presley’s “Separate Ways” (20/35).
