Not an especially interesting or exciting countdown this week as we swing by Providence, Rhode Island, to take a look at the WICE Chart for the week of July 1st, 1972.
This week's Top Five tunes are exactly the same as LAST week's Top Five Tunes, just (with the exception of #1 and #5) in a slightly different order.
Sammy Davis, Jr. hangs on to the #1 spot with his Willy Wonka Hit, "The Candy Man." Mouth and MacNeal make a nice move into The Top Ten with "How Do You Do," up five spots from #13 to #8.
But the big mover of the week belongs to The Hollies, whose "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress" climbs 13 places (from #28 to #15)
About the strangest "Huh???" moment would have to come from this week's Hitbound Pick.
"When You Say Love," a #30 National Hit that year, is WICE's "pick to click."
The tune is borrowed from a Budweiser Beer television commercial advertisement. (In the commercial, they sing "When you say Bud ...") but Sonny and Cher have revamped that to be "When You Say Love." (I DO like how, at the very bottom of the survey, they run the tag line "And The Beat Goes On," a nice reference (perhaps?) to Sonny and Cher's big 1967 Hit.
