Another survey that either was missing from the newspaper or is missing from the microfilm.  This week’s positions are taken from the “Last Week” column from next week’s survey, so some are unknown.  Both “Too Much Talk” and “Flights of Fantasy” are listed as having been number 25 this week.

Big leaps for “Lady Madonna” and “Honey.”

The six debuts were all minor national hits, topping out at 40, 53, 26, 53, 51 and 54; here they’ll make number 29, 15 (“Me the Peaceful Heart”), 14 (“Jennifer Juniper”), 36, 45 and 46.

Claudine Longet’s version of “Love is Blue” returns, as does the Delfonics’ “La-La-Means I Love You.”

Only one of the week’s debuts will do significantly differently here from its national performance--“Jennifer Eccles,” which will continue Seattle’s love affair with the Hollies by getting up to number nine here versus number 40 in Billboard.  (The next biggest difference is “The Unicorn” getting to number two instead of number seven.)
