Discovery: Al Martino—Always Together

Huge debut for “I Should Have Known Better,” which was the b-side of “A Hard Day’s Night” and only reached number 53 in Billboard, though it won’t get any higher here than it is this week.  In June we had two weeks with no Beatles, now suddenly they’ve got four records in the top eight with another on the rise.

All this week’s debuts were Hot 100 hits.  The only other one worth mentioning in terms of KJR/BB disparity is the Tokens’ “He’s in Town,” which hit number 43 in BB and will get to number 11 here.

Discovery: Roy Orbison—Oh, Pretty Woman

One non-BB debut this week, the second one we’ve seen by the Cascades.  Skeeter Davis’ “Let Me Get Close to You,” which will not get any higher here than its number 40 spot this week, only made number 106 on BB’s Bubbling Under chart, then several weeks later got onto the country chart, where it stalled at number 45.  Skeeter had been hitting both charts for a couple years, with a sound that was more girl-group pop than country, but after this record she swung back more to the country side .

The Rolling Stones make their KJR debut this week.  “It’s All Over Now” peaked at number 26 at Billboard but will get to number 5 here.

The “Haunted House” Gene Simmons is not the Gene Simmons of KISS, just in case anyone is reading this who might have thought otherwise.
