Last week we told you about the big 12-point move Donny Osmond's remake of "Puppy Love" made in California ...
And already THIS week, it has hit the top of the heap in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Look at some of the other tracks listed in this week's Top Ten ...
"Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, "Vincent" by Don McLean and "Jump Into The Fire" by Nilsson ... all songs you don't typically associate with Top Ten status.
They're also showing three Apple Records artists on the chart this week ...
Paul McCartney and Wings at #14 with "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" (again, not typically one of his biggest hits), Badfinger at #18 with "Baby Blue" and Ringo Starr in the Hot Prospects #1 position with "Back Off Boogaloo," a song we featured last week in Forgotten Hits as part of our coast-to-coast countdowns.
And, speaking of coast-to-coast, look at which jock is featured on this week's survey ...
Why it's none other than Casey Kasem, the KING of the Countdowns!
Other big surprises on this week's chart ...
Jerry Lee Lewis at #11 with his remake of "Chantilly Lace" ...
Alice Cooper's "Be My Lover" at #13 ...
#20 - "Open Your Eyes" by Andy Bown ... (I couldn't find a listing for this song ... or artist ... on any of the national charts) ...
And Thomas F. Browne on the Hot Prospects list with something called "Gentle Sarah." (The tracks shown by Rare Earth, The First Edition, Lighthouse and The J. Geils Band are also songs we're not accustomed to seeing.)
