Because of lack of a Dana Vallery song from 1976, here's a special treat. The BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS from the dates of the first AT40 regular charts for the start of a certain year following year end countdowns from the AT40 Shadoe Stevens era from 1989-1992: 1/7/1989: Dropping to #100 from its peak at #92 is the "Supersonic" female rap trio J.J. Fad with "Is It Love?": www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fixhxoI4bo1/6/1990: Dropping to #100 from #82 after peaking at #77 is Arsenio Hall's rap parody character named Chunky A with "OWWWW!": www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtcyVLSR11g1/5/1991: Hold on tight, folks... 100) Joey - Concrete Blonde 99) And So It Goes - Billy Joel 98) Lyin' to Myself - David Cassidy 97) I Found Love - The Party (Previously covered for 1/12/1991) ...so, we get to #96 and entering that position is the group Deee-Lite of "Groove Is In The Heart" fame with "Power of Love" which peaked at #47: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOdh430r9kE

Originally in a past BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS you couldn't find the Y&P song "I Wouldn't Lie" and now you found it via a clip from a 1986 "Soul Train" episode.

NOW A SPECIAL BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS BY ME: What if AT40's debut on July 4th. weekend in 1970 used the same July 4, 1970 Billboard chart instead of the Billboard chart date of a week later? Then at the bottom of the 7/4/1970 chart would be at its holding peak The Turtles with their cover of Barry McGuire's #1 1965 hit "Eve of Destruction" (Which The Turtles originally rejected to record at first before Mr. McGuire got to do the song): www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDiUjdVWPjo

For the first time in this thread, no new videos this week. That's because all three of this week's BOTC's can be found elsewhere.
7/9/77 - page 9 7/3/82 - page 2 7/13/85 - page 18

It seems really weird to see Concrete Blonde and David Cassidy on the charts simultaneously.

Since there was no BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS videos this week, here's a special treat, this regards 2 what if's from the 1990's Shadoe Stevens AT40: 1) What if Shadoe AT40 on 11/30/1991 still used the Billboard Hot 100 source instead of moving to the Billboard Top 40 Radio Monitor source? This is what the BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS would be: #100 - Holding that posistion previously covered for 11/23/1991 is "The Devil Came Up To Michigan" by KMC Kru, and on to #99 and dropping to that position from #91 after peaking at #76 is former Go-Go's member Belinda Carlisle with her final solo Hot 100 hit "Do You Feel Like I Feel": www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbhWQsKVr_02) What if Shadoe AT40 on 1/9/1993 still used the Billboard Top 40 Radio Monitor source instead of moving to the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream source? This is what the BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS would be: Dropping from #71 to #75 is George Lamond with his cover of a track from the New Kids on the Block 1990 CD STEP BY STEP called "Baby I Believe in You": www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuVEyiBlfkE

7/14/73:
Holding at the bottom is the duo Fire And Rain with "Hello Stranger." Since that song's already been covered, we move on to #99. There, we find the legendary Roger Daltrey and "Giving It All Away." The song fell from #90 after peaking at #83.
7/14/79:
Falling from its #76 peak is a band from Indianapolis name The Faith Band. Here's "You're My Weakness."
7/9/83:
Falling from #93 after peaking at #88 is an East Boston band named The Stompers and "Never Tell An Angel (When You're Heart's On Fire)."

Cowritten by a British singer-songwriter who would have Three Dog Night cover one of his songs for an American hit a year later, then have a run of his own hits here for a few years, named Leo Sayer.

I know I did the "Sittin' on a Time Bomb" Honey Cone thing from the National Album Countdown week, so here's more from July 29, 1972: #99 - "Garden Party" by Rick Nelson ...and on to #98 and we find holding at that peak position is the "Great Balls of Fire" singer Jerry Lee Lewis with "Turn On Your Love Light": www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CBQCnVmNbwBy the way, jmorgan, how come you didn't thank me for filling in for you last week when you forgot to do last week's Bottom of the Charts but I did it in your place?
