Further down the charts, it was time for some goodbyes. After 21 top 40 hits in a row, Three Dog Night was at their peak for their last ever hit. The Carpenter's "Solitaire" also strongly debuted, but it missed the top 10 ultimately, and despite being in the top 40 as late as 1981, they never made the top 10 again. Cat Stevens also had his very last hit, and cheesy kings Tony Orlando and Dawn never again charted higher than this week.
Debuting was ZZ Top with an eye-opening title, "Tush," and Casey could not have envisioned them at pioneers in music videos 10 years later, with another body part.
Two strange chart moves -- the Eagles popped back up to #2, having previously fallen from #1. They did not regain the #1 spot. Another former #1, "Love Will Keep Us Together" popped back up from 17 to 13
