To followup an interesting thread posted earlier, how about those songs that barely missed getting into the AT40. Anyone here know of songs that peaked at #41 and never got into At40?

My favorite that peaked at #41 was the Super Bowl Shuffle by the Chicago Bears. I can remember hoping it would squeak in so Casey could introduce it!

It has to be frustrating for a song to peak at #41-so close but so far from being counted down on a weekly countdown show.
However, on one occasion, a song that did not reach the Top 40 did chart on one of the year end shows. In the 1995 year end show, Fun Factory's "Close To You" which was never counted down on Casey's Top 40 ended up at #97 for that year. So, if a low ranking song has enough staying power on the entire chart (defined as the chart with all positions-similar to the Hot 100, not just the Top 40), there is a chance that the song could make the year end, even though that chance is a bit low.

That also seems to happen on the Seacrest era shows, as some songs that didn't make the top 40 due to recurrents clogging up the chart do make it (though said songs actually do make the top 40 on the Mediabase chart with the recurrents removed.) |

Rob Thomas' "Ever the Same" in 2006 and Green Day's "21 Guns" in 2009 both made the AT40 year end chart despite never making the regular weekly countdown. Both were heard on the show as "AT40 Breakouts", so apparently they just barely missed it.

Paula Abdul's "Knocked Out" only reached #41? I thought it peaked much higher than that, but apparently not.

On an AT10 year-end countdown from either 2007 or 2008, Casey played a Josh Groban song that failed to make the regular countdown.

A song that peaked at #41 DID get played on a regular AT40 show. "La Grange" by ZZ Top peaked at #41 on the Hot 100 on June 29, 1974, but AT40 didn't use the Hot 100 that week. Instead, they made up their own chart based on speculation and had "La Grange" coming in as the highest debut of the week, at #33!

Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" peaked at #41 on the Top 40 Radio Monitor chart in 1992 and thus never made it to American Top 40. If AT40 had continued to use the Hot 100, it would have been a top 10 hit.

in 2002, "I See Right Through To You" by DJ Encore peaked at #41. It was a great song and made the Top 30 of "The Rhythm Countdown With Ellen K."
