#Former Sure Shot
##Former Long Shot

NOTE: On the original chart as printed in GO Magazine, “Jealous Kind Of 
Fella” was mistakenly listed as both #11 and #20, while “Suspicious Minds” 
was not listed at all; however, during the on-air countdown that week, 
“Jealous” was played at #20 and “Suspicious” at #11. This was the first week 
that WMCA included albums on its chart; during the on-air countdown that 
week, it was announced that if the sales of “Abbey Road” were divided among 
all the tracks on the album, each one would outsell that week’s best-selling 
single.
