Only four debuts this week—all at the bottom of the chart—so
I’ll mention them all. “Crimson and
Clover” by Tommy James & the Shondells spent two weeks at number one on the
Billboard chart, but here it’ll stay there for seven weeks. Mason “Classical Gas” Williams had his only
vocal hit with “Saturday Night at the World,” which just edged onto the
Billboard Hot 100 at number 99 but will peak at number 31 here. Diana Ross and Eddie Kendricks dueting on “I’m
Gonna Make You Love Me” peaked at number two for two weeks at Billboard, but
here it’ll stop at number 15. And the
Doors’ “Touch Me,” a number three BB hit, will just beat that here, spending
one week at number two.
There was no survey for December 27 or January 3, or at
least none in the newspaper. My next
post, though, will be on the 1968 year-end chart, which appeared in the
December 20 edition next to this one.
Then we’ll begin 1969 with January 10.
