The finding
What the evidence shows
Rick Springfield's "Speak to the Sky" peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in 1972, not number 10. It did reach number 10 on the Canadian chart and number 6 in Australia, so the number 10 figure seems to come from mixing up a different country's chart.
