#5 - Garden Party

This also made the UK Charts (#41 - 4 weeks). It is listed under Rick Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band.

Data fixed, thanks

Hello Mary Lou/Travellin' Man

I feel # 43 should be combined with #1 (Hello Mary Lou) & #2 (Travellin' Man). The UK Chart Entry of #45 - 5 weeks you have for Hello May Lou was a re-entry into the charts 30 years after the original.

Data fixed, thanks
