4th October 1969

It's 2 weeks on top for John Barry, and the Hollies go top 10 along with the 5th Dimension grabbing a 3rd or 4th top 10. Highest new entry is Stevie Wonder's fab Yester-Me, shockingly just a minor us hit, but a uk smash and one of his great pre Talking Book Motown tracks. In at 22 Peter Paul and Mary are back with their best record - John Denver's prophetic Leaving On A Jet Plane. This marked his emergence and their goodbye as music forces. 

More Beatles invasions as Abbey Road takes over with Because and Ringo's jolly Octopus get a look in and Come Together climbs to 46. Marsha Shaw follows where the 5th Dimension charted first with Californian Soul, Esther Ofarim gets a 3rd hit and her first solo effort with a Mason Williams song, the Five Stairsteps family return with another decent single, Mel and Tim debut, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band also return with a Mike Nesmith song, Mike slso indide the 40 with one of his other songs, and the Nitty Gritty's ahead of a starring role in movie Paint Your Wagon, out in a couple of weeks. Barry Ryan sneaks in at the lower end.

A week when only 3 new songs entered the UK top 50 / US top 40 and only one of them was considered good enough to chart, and even that one not very high.

So the chart in general is stagnant although last week's highest entry by the Hollies does climb from #7 to #2 to challenge David Bowie for the top next week. Of course both of these singles would eventually reach #1 in the UK.

Fleetwood Mac and the Cufflinks also both move into the top 10. For Fleetwood Mac, this is a Peter Green composition and a bit of blues-rock. The Cufflinks' lead singer Ron Dante also sang lead vocals on the Archies' hit "Sugar Sugar" which is still in the chart but falling.
