* Super Hits


The first ten are the same as last week but in a different order, as they’re now alphabetized by title rather 

than artist.


Seattle’s Danny O’Keefe will spend four weeks in the “And” category with “Angel Spread Your Wings,”

a number 110 Billboard hit. Same with “I’ll Have to Go Away,” the follow-up to “Wildflower” by Skylark,

which got to number 106 nationally. “Let Me In” by the Osmonds, a number 36 hit at Billboard, will spend

one week in the First ten. “This Time it’s Real” by Tower of Power will spend three weeks as an “And;” 

it made number 65 nationally. And number 92 Billboard hit “Mr. Skin” by Spirit will be on the survey for 

11 weeks, three of them in the First ten, and its final week at number eight, as the format changes again.
