“Honky Tonk Women” makes a big leap.

“Hallelujah (I Am the Preacher)” by Deep Purple only made it to number 108 in Billboard; here it will get to number 40 in two weeks and then drop off the survey.  Evie Sands’ version of “Any Way That You Want Me” (which we saw here by the Liverpool Five in 1966) will make it to number 13 in its 13 weeks on the survey, while in Billboard it only got to number 53.  The other debuts will do roughly as well as they did nationally.

“Scarborough Fair/Look of Love” (which was a medley, not both sides of the record) by Jeff Afdem & the Springfield Flute was a non-BB hit that will peak at number 29 here.  Jeff Afdem was the sax player for the Springfield Rifle, and he put out an easy-listening album, on which he plays flute, under the JA & the SF name.  We will see the Rifle on the survey one more time, before 1969 is over.

The Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women” was number one for four weeks in Billboard; here it will be number one for six weeks and spend 19 weeks on the survey, tying it with “Light My Fire” and coming up one short of “Love is Blue” for the record so far—though we will see that record broken.  “I’d Wait a Million Years” by the Grass Roots, a number 15 BB hit, will reach number eight here.

The two different songs called “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again” are now back-to-back on the survey.
