NOTE: On the original Cash Box charts for this week, “In At Eight And Out At Ten” by Don Drumm was listed both at #67 on the Country Top 75 and at #89 on the Country Looking Ahead chart.

This week, Cash Box made its Country Looking Ahead chart essentially an extention of the Country Top 75 by changing the chart positions to 76-100 and including previous week numbers from the Top 75 for records that dropped from that level to Looking Ahead status. Records that were in positions 1-25 on last week’s Looking Ahead chart have their Last Week (LW) positions shown as 76-100 above. Weeks on the Chart (WKS) totals for records that were previously in the Top 75 are based only on the total number of weeks on the Looking Ahead chart.
