March 30th, 1970


The Beatles continue their reign at the top of the chart this week.  In fact, Apple Records has THREE of the Top 4 records this week, thanks to their own "Let It Be," John Lennon's "Instant Karma" and Badfinger's "Come And Get It."  (They also hold down the #30 spot with Mary Hopkin's "Temma Harbour."

The Jackson Five seem poised to take over the top spot as "ABC" climbs from #7 to #2 this week ... but The Supremes' "Up The Ladder To The Roof" and The Ides Of March's "Vehicle" are both making seven point jumps within The Top Ten ... so don't count these tracks out either!

The Guess Who leap sixteen places with their two-sided hit "American Woman" / "No Sugar Tonight" (from #32 to #16) ... while Bobbi Martin's "For The Love Of Him" and Kenny Rogers and the First Edition's "Something Burning" also make impressive moves ... from #37 to #19 and #39 to #20 respectively.






I also like Steppenwolf's new hit "Hey Lawdy Mama," which premiers at #35 this week.
