Going to cite a Seacrest-era stat for this, but nonetheless, it illustrates my premise here.
Just a month ago, on the AT40 the weekend of August 24, Fall Out Boy's "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" had the week's Biggest Drop, sliding ten from 25-35. One Direction's "Best Song Ever" made that same move in the opposite direction, leaping up 35-25 - and theirs was the biggest jump.
Any Classic era shows where such direct swaps happened?

Week of Oct. 10 1970 The Kinks "Lola" jumped from 28-13 while Aretha Franklin's "Don't Play that Song" dropped 13 to 28.

Not a biggest mover/ biggest dropper thing, but a chart swap. On the 2/23/80 show, Rupert Holmes had "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" drop from 24 to 28 while his followup "Him" climb from 28 to 24!

Not quite a direct swap, but pretty close and extreme: on 11/25/78, "Le Freak" by Chic jumped 37-6 while "Kiss You All Over" by Exile fell 7-33 (tying for biggest dropper; "Whenever I Call You Friend" by Kenny Loggins and Stevie Nicks also fell 26 notches, from 9 to 35.)

The second greatest Top 40 move on October 8, 1977 -- Debbie Boone and Fleetwood Mac swapped positions, 15-3 and 3-15, respectively.
