Nobody mentioned Rufus' 'AIN'T nobody. It came into the 40 @ 29, from 43, the previous. It couldn't get past #22.

On this week's 1983 show Flock of Seagulls moved 30-40 but Wishing would peter out at #26. Would any other song in the classic era climb double digits yet not even crack the top 25?

On March 6, 1976, Melissa Manchester's "Just You and I" also jumped 40-30, the biggest mover entirely within the countdown. The next week it moved up to #27 and went no higher.

"White Horse" by Laid Back debuted at #37 on 4/28/84 and jumped 10 notches the following week, but would only climb one more to peak at #26. It would drop out the last week in May.

Not sure if this has been mentioned-On 5/10/75,"Old Days" by Chicago debuted in the top forty at # 17-You'd think it was headed for # 1-Unfortunately,it peaked at # 5.

Got another one, although it did hit the top 10: Week ending February 13, 1971, "Sweet Mary" by Wadsworth Mansion leaped from #44 all the way to #15. The following week, up to #8. So far, so good. Third week in the 40, it rose just one position to #7. Then it dropped to #10, then #14, then out of the top 20. And Wadsworth Mansion were never heard from again... That's a great one! Man, that went quick! I started a thread some time back on "Tusk" and it flamed out pretty nicely as well ( 40-15-9-8-8-8-9-16-22-37). Definitely not as big of a flame out as Wadsworth Mansion, but impressive. Three Christmas ones: Please Come Home For Christmas - The Eagles 20-20-18-18-26 gone. (Second week frozen) kchkwong mentioned Do They Know It's Christmas - 20-15-13-17 gone But probably the best flame out in the modern era goes to: All I Want For Christmas Is You (1994-1995) - Mariah Carey - 36-36-23-9 gone. (Second week frozen) AT 40 finally had chart movement in 1995 like the 70's! And they celebrated by shutting the doors on the show two weeks later Well my thoughts on Mariah and "Christmas" certainly aged well, lol.

Mariah Carey's Christmas song dropping from #9 off the AT40 chart was the highest drop out of the top 40 since "Even the Nights Are Better" by Air Supply which dropped out of the top 40 reaches from #6 to #42 in 1982.

^Shadoe mentioned in the AT40 music news on the 5/21/94 show that Mariah was about to record her first Christmas album. Obviously that song was one that she recorded then.

That was its ranking when the 12" got issued. The track was getting top 40 airplay for at least a month before it became a single. It was closing in on the top 10 airplaywise when it debuted on the Hot 100. I wish we could get the Billboard issue from 4/27/90 because I want to reread just how crazy it was. I remember,as you say the single being released as the hold up. It being just a 12 inch obviously hurt its sales So maybe never number 1 because of how the single was issued and the time it was issued. I wonder how many positions "Touch" lost because of the late release (and the mix) of the single. Guess we will never know. There were plans for a cassette single release of "U Can't Touch This" according to some Billboard article but Capitol cancelled plans.

Seeing that "U Can't Touch This" hit #1 on the R&R chart, I'm fairly sure it would have done the same on the Hot 100 had its single release not been delayed like it was.

And why didn't Verve plan a cassette single of the original Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody" but Curb released a new recorded version for cassette single release? Did that hurt the chance for boosting the 1966 version only released on a vinyl 45?

I was alluding to "Mr. Jones" nearly becoming the first non-released hit to reach #1 on AT40 the other day in another thread. So cleaning all this up, "U Can't Touch This" is the first non-released hit to reach #1 on CT40. After "Mr. Jones" stalled at #2 on AT40 but did reach the top on CT40, the next non-released hit to reach #1 was No Doubt's "Don't Speak" at the end of 1996(CT40). The first such #1 hit in AT40 history would be the Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" in 1998.

"Alive Again" is the biggest climber of any song in the 70s and 80s that did not reach the top 10, 40-21 I still wonder what happened. There must be a logical explanation for why the song fizzled out like that.
