Chicago radio was not aligned with the rest of the country in August, 1967.
On WLS, "It Could Be We're In Love" by the Cryan Shames was #1 for four weeks during August. It would only reach #85 nationally, though it was in the Hot 100 for 10 weeks.
It topped the WCFL charts for 3 weeks.

"It Could Be We're in Love" had eight non-consecutive weeks on the Hot 100. (To come up with ten, you must have used the Ultimate Music Database, which would show the two weeks that it Bubbled Under, at #123 and #119.) It also had 11 weeks on Cash Box, peaking at #70, and eight weeks on Record World, peaking at #52. This despite a lack of decent music on Top 40 radio in that late summer/early fall of 1967. At least there wasn't much that I particularly care for. It will make FT10 soon.

They had 5 Top 10 singles in Chicago, plus 2 additional that peaked in the 11-15 range. Great harmonies and the album "A Scratch In The Sky" is a classic. The followup album "Synthesis" is pretty good. |
