M10 not-so-show week 148

 

Not so much of a show tonight mainly because I am starting round three of sneeze-a-thon '25 for today and have a doubt my humor would be anything but, well, snotty.  So A quick look at 1976, and this week's top ten.  I have one debut this week- and it debuts at 8 after just 2 listens, so you know this will soon be a contender for another #1 for this lady.  Here's new Geowulf...

All right, lets have that look at this week in 1976!  First, what was #1? In Australia, ABBA was about to replace Mama Mia (which surprisingly Billboard peaked at 32 here- but played much higher here in Ft Wayne- and 18 in Canada) with SOS (My favorite of theirs, which got 15 here and 9 in Canada).

In Canada, they were about to replace KC and the Sunshine Band's That's The Way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I Like It (Also a #1 here and 5 in Australia) with the Bay City Rollers and Saturday Night (Again a #1 here, but a #45 in Australia).

And here, Cashbox was about to replace Barry Manilow's I Write The Songs (5 in Australia, 3 in Canada) with Diana Ross with the Theme From Mahogany- maybe my second favorite of all of hers (4 in Canada, 38 in Australia).  And the big movers this week on Cashbox include:

14 songs that moved up just one;

3 that moved up 2;

8 that went up 3 to 5;

and the top movers were a ten spot for Donna Summer's Love To Love You Baby, a #1 for Canada, 2 here, and 4 in Australia, that moved up to 14 this week;

and a 14- notch for Rhythm Heritage's Theme From SWAT, which topped North America and made #11 in Australia, dropping in at 33 this week.

AHH-CHHOOOOO!  Excuse me!  My favorite from this week in 1976 is a toughie- we were at the late end of my wheelhouse here.  But I would have to say this week I would have topped my chart with the song at #20...

Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds (but really Dennison) took Winners And Losers to 18 on CB and 21 in Canada.
