Top spot On Top 100 Going To Newcomers On The Singles Scene
NEW YORK – Newcomers have been cracking the barricade of established names only exposure with surprising frequency lately, hitting the number one national sales spot in nine of the last ten weeks, and crowding into the top ten picture.
. . .
Eight of Top 20
Eight of the current top twenty selections are efforts by artists who have never approached the sales spotlight before in the singles area. Bill Cosby’s first singing effort, Vikki Carr’s first best- selling single, and names like the Esquires, Cowsills, Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Hombres are opening new ears to the first efforts of a lot of newcomer acts.

'Round The Route
Looks like a hit for the MGM recording artists, the Cowsills with their waxing of "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things," Caught the group a few weeks ago at a bash thrown for them at the Century Plaza and they got a great reception.
