  "account": "The Beatles' Rubber Soul returned to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart on October 17, 1966, reaching number four after the release of an expanded, deluxe edition. The album had initially debuted at number one in the top 10 on January 8, 1966, displacing Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass' hit single Whipped Cream & Other Delights. Rubber Soul held onto the number one spot for six consecutive weeks before Whipped Cream reclaimed the top position.\n\nNotable on the original top 10 chart from January 8, 1966, was the presence of rock icons The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Barbra Streisand. Additionally, two albums by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass were featured. Three of these albums received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year: Whipped Cream, Eddy Arnold's country hit My World, and The Sound of Music soundtrack. Moreover, Whipped Cream contained the 1966 Grammy winner for Record of the Year, the lively instrumental track \"A Taste of Honey.\" Rubber Soul itself earned the Song of the Year accolade the following year for \"Michelle.\" Interestingly, this marked the sole Beatles song to ever claim this prize.",
