"Paperback Writer" holds on to the #1 spot for a second week while "Strangers In The Night" holds at #2 but loses its bullet.
"Hanky Panky" continues its surge up the chart ... it now sits at #5, up from #13 the week before.
Crispian St. Peters' "The Pied Piper" continues its stride as well ... this week, it's up another 25 points to reach #30. "Wild Thing" makes a similar move from #72 to #39. Meanwhile, "Li'l Red Riding Hood" is up 15 places to #36 and last week's top debut, "Hungry" by Paul Revere and the Raiders, makes a 20 point move.
This week's top debut belongs to The Mamas and the Papas ... "I Saw Her Again" premiers at #56, just ahead of "Love Letters" by Elvis and "The Work Song" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
