Hot 100 Chart 1970-03-21

I haven’t posted the music charts on a Monday since 3/21…. Sorry ‘bout that. Monday means 1970, here we go, starting with the Top 10:

1. Let It Be - The Beatles
2. ABC – Jackson 5
3. Instant Karma (We All Shine On) - John Lennon
4. Spirit In The Sky – Norman Greenbaum
5. Bridge Over Troubled Water – Simon & Garfunkel
6. Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes - Edison Lighthouse
7. The House Of The Rising Sun – Frijid Pink
8. Come And Get It – Badfinger
9. Easy Come, Easy Go – Bobby Sherman
10. The Rapper – Jaggerz

That’s a pretty impressive list. I have 8 of 10 on my iPod. And IIRC, in 1970 I had the Bobby Sherman album that included Easy Come Easy Go.

Dropping out of the top 10 were: nobody! The Top 10 shifted around, but no newcomers this week. So how about the Top 40?  Newcomers to the Top 40:

Everybody’s Out Of Town – BJ Thomas (#37), Vehicle – Ides Of March (#38), For The Love Of Him – Bobbi Martin (#39) and Little Green Bag – George Baker Selection (#40). Only real notable there is Vehicle, which went all the way to #2. It jumped a whopping 37 spots, up from #75. I remember having that song on a K-Tel hits collection in 1970 (when we lived in WV).

Fun debuts to the Hot 100 this week (IHMO)

• Cecilia – Simon and Garfunkel (#68)
• Hey Lawdy Mama – Steppenwolf (#77)

There you have it!
