Supremes Top in Tape Sales and Motown Leads
Motown’s Detroit Sound dominates early eight track tape cartridge sales with two of its packages in the top ten. The Supremes “Where Did Our Love Go” ranks second, and Billy Eckstine’s “The Prime of My Life” sits at eight. The album version of Where Did Our Love Go has lingered on Billboard’s best selling LP list for 85 weeks, far longer than typical albums. The single may earn Motown its first Gold Cartridge award for sales over 250000 copies.
