No change in the top 3 this week, however, Dr Hook & The Medicine Show  rises from number 13 to number 4, with "Sylvia's Mother" and pose a serious threat to the top 3. The New Seekers also move into the top 5 with "Circles".

One of my favourite Bowie tracks, "Starman", enters at number 20 and also hitting the top 20 this week are The Partridge Family, with, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do".
