Newcomers Sonny and Cher command the top position for a third straight week, holding The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Righteous Brothers, The Four Tops and Bob Dylan to the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 positions respectively, ALL with bullets but blocked from moving any higher! Both Sonny and Cher have solo hits on the chart as well. And the re-release of their first single, "Baby Don't Go" is up 35 places at #59. This one's going to be a hit the second time around!
They also have a new premier at #94, giving the duo a total of FIVE songs on this week's chart ... and they're not even British!!!
There are also two bulleted new Top Ten entries this week: "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "Nothing But Heartaches" ... with "You Were On My Mind knocking on the door at #11.
"Eve Of Destruction" makes a tremendous leap (from #58 to #18) in only its second week on the chart. It looks like this song is going to make a lasting impression on the chart.
The Turtles, Freddy Cannon, The McCoys, The Animals and The Dave Clark Five (up nearly 50 spots with "Catch Us If You Can") are all make great strides up the chart as well.
