BWAAAA HAAA HAAA!
BUBBLEGUM POP RULES!!!!!!!
"Sugar, Sugar" would top the chart for 3 more weeks and was so popular that it wouldn't even leave the Top 10 for 3 months, evacuating on the Nov. 22, 1969, chart.
Totally on the other end of the musical spectrum, the #1 album this week was supergroup Blind Faith's self-titled album that didn't have any hit singles and originally featured an album cover with a naked prepubescent girl.
Here's a look at 2 other great hit singles hitting their peak position on the chart that week:
At #31, Steppenwolf's protest piece "Move Over":

At #52, The Spiral Starecase's "No One For Me To Turn To," the follow-up to their one big hit "More Today Than Yesterday." It's too bad this didn't do better that "More Today" - I like it a LOT better because it's not cheesy.
