Motor City Girl Group’s latest, ‘Come See About Me’, Ascends to Top of Chart This Week
NEW YORK — Motown’s Supremes are living up to their title. The gals 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 and represents the first femme group to achieve this status.
To add to it all, Diana, Flo and Mary have staged a turn-about on the British by invading the No. 1 position on their charts with “Baby Love,” the first American gal group to do so. The record also registers big here, having reached the No. 8 position on Billboard’s singles 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 Bit of Liverpool,” has reached 92 this week after only a month on the chart. Indications are that it 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 of England and Europe. END
