Partridge Family: 🎵I think I love you / so what am I so afraid of🎵
Me: This was that song's 3rd straight week at #1. Their biggest threats from below: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and Brian Hyland. Oh, and we couldn't count out The Fifth Dimension or Badfinger. So who would be #1 the next week? time tell THAT tale!!

The Fifth Dimension has the biggest jumping song within the countdown moving up 18 notches this week!! Honorable mentions for Badfinger, Andy Kim and Santana moving up 16, 13 and 10 notches respectively this week!! Neil Diamond has two songs concurrently climbing the countdown simultaneously!! Seven songs debut this week including notables by Tony Orlando and Dawn, Van Morrison and George Harrison who all made impressive jumps into the top 40 this week!! The Partridge Family stays put at #1 for a third week, but can they hold off threats from Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Brian Hyland and the aforementioned Fifth Dimension and Badfinger?!?! Time will tell the tale!!
