I've added a few more to the list.
Also, I believe records that leaped onto the Hot 100 and into the Top 60 from a "Bubbling Under" position are also noteworthy. Are there any such chart movements?

dukedeb and kchkwong,
I also added "Sweet Mary"'s 44-15 jump.
As of this point, it appears that 1971 is far and away the most active year for chart climbers.
Thanks for the additions!

Regarding at40petebattistini's post about songs leapfrogging from "bubbling under" positions, it may not be that unusual. For instance, the 7/11/70 hot 100 chart -- the first used by AT40 -- has (at least) three songs that subsequently charted within the top 40: "Snowbird" by Anne Murray; "Get Up I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine" by James Brown; and "Yellow River" -- a guilty pleasure of mine -- by Christie.

^Actually, what I suggested is listing any record that "bubbled under" one week, and the following week was listed within the Top 60 on the Hot 100. I don't believe that happened all that often. But I can't say for sure because I don't have access to many of the Bubbling Under charts.

^You're correct; "bubbling unders" do generally ascend the charts slowly. You can access those compilations from the on-line billboard magazine archives (as I did).

Good song "Yellow River" by the British band. Peaked at 23 and spent 23 weeks on the Hot 100 plus those bubbling under weeks. The 23 weeks make it the longest running Hot 100 hit of 1970.

I wonder how many people mistook the band Christie for being fronted by Lou Christie (of "Lightning Strikes" fame)?
