The Monkees’ second album is now out!  “I Wanna Be Free,” from the first album, drops off the survey as two tracks from the new one debut: “Your Auntie Grizelda” and “She.”  The other debuts were all Hot 100 hits.  Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On” debuts way up at number 16, but it will only peak at number twelve (number 6 in BB).  “Deadend Street” by the Kinks was a number 73 Billboard hit; its number 45 spot here this week is better than that, but it will get no higher.  Ed Ames’ “My Cup Runneth Over” is an interesting case: it got up to number eight in Billboard, but here it’ll only make it to number 29, despite spending twelve weeks on the survey, and the number 29 position will occur in its final week (48-35-37-40-40-34-43-46-40-46-31-29).

The top five records stay the same for the second consecutive week, the top four for the fourth consecutive week, and the top three for the sixth consecutive week.

Addendum: "Your Auntie Grizelda" will get no higher than this week's number 33 position, while "She" will peak at number twelve.

The last week column is actually two weeks ago, as there was no December 30 survey.  Which means there’s more jumping around within the survey than usual, more debuts, and a couple of high debuts (11 and 14).

Just one of the debuts was not a Billboard hit: “Sound of Children” by the Doodletown Pipers, who were a huge (in number of members, not in popularity) vocal group of squeaky-clean young people that showed up a lot on TV variety shows.  It will only be on the survey this one week.  The week’s high debut, the Troggs’ “Wild Thing” done by a Robert Kennedy impersonator, will peak at number six but only spend four weeks on the survey; it only got to number 20 nationally.  “How Do You Catch a Girl” by KJR favorites Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs peaked at number 27 in BB but will make it to number ten here.  “Where Will the Words Come From” by Gary Lewis & the Playboys was a number 21 Billboard hit that will get up to number eight here; this was the first of Gary’s singles to not make the BB top twenty and it marked the beginning of his decline phase, but at KJR the decline will be less noticeable.  Also worth mentioning: Lesley Gore’s “California Nights” (16BB/6 KJR), jazzman Cannonball Adderley’s “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” (11/22) and “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” by the Casinos (6/13).
