Credence made their 1st of 9 appearances in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Although they reached the #2 position five times, they could never claim the top spot.
In other chart action, "I'm Livin' in Shame" had a very strong debut but couldn't maintain the kind of momentum its predecessor, "Love Child", built up during its rise to the top. It spent just a week in the top 10. The bubblegum earache "Indian Giver" managed to spend 4 weeks in the top 10, no doubt resulting in preset buttons on millions of car radios receiving a major-league workout.
