here's one. May 5, 1984 - white horse/laid back moved up 10 spots and didn't even hit the top 25. (37 - 27, then moved up 1 spot and fell off the countdown 2 weeks later)

Here's a couple of technical cases. I don't know how I didn't notice these before...probably because these are among the first 80s shows I ever heard, and I wasn't really looking for such peculiarities at the time. (Well, the 1982 ones are, anyway. ) On September 4, 1982, the biggest upward move was 5 notches. Four songs did this, and one of them was a song that peaked at #20..."Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts (37-32). But wait...it gets better! Two months later, on November 6, the biggest upward move was 4 notches, which seven songs did! Of those, three missed the Top 10...ABC's "The Look of Love" (39-35, peaked at 18), Billy Joel's "Pressure" (29-25, peaked at 20), and Steel Breeze's "You Don't Want Me Anymore" (22-18, peaked at 16). There's a cherry on top of this one though, as the last of the seven to make that 4-notch move was the song moving into #1 that week ("Up Where We Belong")! Now there's a story for you...how often do you find the biggest mover or co-biggest mover moving into #1? You know what? Since 1982 was apparently so good at this sort of thing, we'll stay in that year and give you another one! On January 23, the biggest move was 5 notches. Only one song did this, though I doubt Casey declared it the week's biggest mover. The song was "Through the Years" by Kenny Rogers (35-30, peaked at 13). And...guess what, it's another two-month leap within 1982 - though this one's a little less technical. On March 13, the biggest mover was "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks (38-31, peaked at 11). And...guess what, now we're going to a different year! On November 29, 1980, the biggest upward move was 7 notches. Two songs did this, and one of them was "Sequel" by Harry Chapin (36-29, peaked at 23).

Here's a few more: On February 23, 1980, the biggest upward move was 6 notches, accomplished by a pair of back-to-back records. The first was "Special Lady", a future Top 10 hit. The other (37-31)...is probably Bry's favorite record from around this time: "Give it All You Got" by Chuck Mangione (peaked at #17)! March 29, 1980: Charlie Dore "Pilot of the Airwaves" 39-31, peaked at #13 November 1, 1980: Christopher Cross "Never Be the Same" 40-31, peaked at #15

Along the same lines, here is some interesting data regarding songs that made moves of at least 20 notches into the top 10. During the Casey Kasem/HOT 100 era of AT40 (1970-91), there were 11 songs that made such a move. The list... One Bad Apple 34-9 in 1971 You're So Vain 37-9 in '72 Kung Fu Fighting 27-7 in '74 You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet 34-8 in '74 Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds 36-9 in '74 The Hustle 29-7 in '75 Island Girl 36-8 in '75 Le Freak 37-6 in '78 Still 38-10 in '79 No More Tears 33-10 in '79 (Just Like) Starting Over 32-10 in '80
All of these songs hit #1 although "You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet" hit #1 prior to the move listed in one of the more bizarre chart movements ever. No song was up at least 20 notches into the top 10 in the last 11 years of this era. Finally, while every one hit #1 during this era, there were 7 songs that made a move of at least 20 notches into the top 10 from 1958-69 that did NOT hit #1. There was a tie between the Beatles' "Please Please Me" (29-6) and the Royal Guardmen's "Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron" (30-7) for biggest move into the top 10 without hitting #1. The biggest move into the top 10 of a non-#1 song in the Casey Kasem/HOT 100 era was Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me" (25-6) in 1974.

You are correct however this list only includes moves WITHIN the top 40.

Wow, that is wierd. To hit number one, fall all the way down to 34 and then skyrocket to 8. Billboard decided to recognize the popularity of the flip side of the single and that propelled the song back up.
