SUPREMES ARE NO. 1 ON BILLBOARD; THIRD DISK IN A ROW
NEW YORK — Motown’s Supremes are living up to their title. The gal group captured the first place position on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart with their waxing of “Come See About Me.” This is the third No. 1 record in a row for the gals from Detroit, and they now represent the first femme group to achieve this status.
To add to it all, Diana, Flo, and Mary have staged a turnabout on the British by invading their No. 1 position on their chart with “Baby Love,” the first American girl group to do so. The record also registers big here, having reached the No. 8 position on Billboard’s single listing and holding 15th place this week.
Their Motown albums have had the same response from record buyers. “Where Did Our Love Go,” formerly occupying the No. 1 position is No. 7 this week on Billboard’s LP chart with 14 weeks as a chart entry. Their most recent album release, “A Little Bit Of Liverpool,” has reached the 92 position this week after only a month on the chart. Indications are that the album should do as well as its predecessor.
“Baby Love,” also reached the chart pinnacle for four consecutive weeks. The Supremes have recently returned from a much-heralded tour in England and Europe. END
