“Ruby Tuesday” makes a dramatic leap, while KJR starts also playing its b-side, “Let’s Spend the Night Together.”  In Billboard they were listed separately, with “Ruby Tuesday” getting to number one and “Let’s Spend the Night Together” topping out at number 55.

Nancy Sinatra’s “Sugar Town” drops off the survey from number 24, after being at number six the week before that.  Meanwhile the b-side of that record debuts this week, “Summer Wine,” a duet with her producer/songwriter Lee Hazlewood.  It will beat “Sugar Town” at KJR, getting up to number two, while nationally it only made it to number 49.

One of the week’s twelve debuts, “Another Page” by Connie Francis, only made the Bubbling Under chart at Billboard, peaking there at number 121.  It’ll inch up to number 47 here.  “Walk Tall” by Cincinnati female duo 2 of Clubs only got up to number 92 in Billboard; here it debuts at number 31, though it will get no higher.  We also have “Our Winter Love” by the Lettermen (72BB/23KJR), “Peek-a-Boo” by the New Vaudeville Band (72/43) and “Sunrise, Sunset” by Roger Williams (84/37)—a good week for easy listening.

“(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone” drops off the survey, leaving “I’m a Believer” to carry on without its flip side for its remaining weeks.

There’s a change at number four, but the top three stay the same for the seventh week.  Next week will be different.

All the debuts were Hot 100 hits.  Most will be about as popular here as nationally, with the exceptions being “No Fair at All” by the Association (51BB/27KJR), “Sit Down, I Think I Love You” by the Mojo Men (36/6) and “People Like You” by Eddie Fisher (97/36).
