9/12/70:
Debuting at #100 is Ronnie Milsap, a good three years away from beginning his legendary country career, and "Loving You Is A Natural Thing." The song peaked at #87.
9/9/78:
Plowing through the first six songs.
100. 97. Bob Seger "Still The Same" (#4) 99. 99. Kristy & Jimmy McNichol "He's So Fine" (already mentioned on page 3) 98. 98. Linda Clifford "Runaway Love" (already mentioned on page 18) 97. 91. Peter Brown "Dance With Me" (#8) 96. 96. Jefferson Starship "Runaway" (#12) 95. 95. ELO "Mr. Blue Sky" (#35)
Finally, at #94, we have a song that would become a minor hit for The Jacksons later in '78. Here's Mick Jackson (no relation) and his version of "Blame It On The Boogie." The song fell from its #61 peak.
The BOTC for 9/17/83 can be found on page 12.

My bonus contribution. Looking over the 9/12/70 chart I was surprised to find Love's "Alone Again Or" (originally a Bubbling Under single in 1968, but rereleased by Elektra to promote a greatest hits album that year) at #99, which would be its chart peak.

As a bonus for this weekend for BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS: What if AT40 started in January 1970 instead of July 1970? This would have been the BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS if the chart date was: a) 1/3/1970: Debuting at #100 is Joe Simon with "Moon Walk" which peaked at #64: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYgUc1D-d-IOR... b) 1/10/1970 (The first 10 months of AT40 was a week behind the Billboard chart date so this would fit in): #100 is "Rainy Night in Georgia" by Brook Benton, and #99 is "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" by the Delfonics, and on to #98 and debuting in that position is Bobby Goldsboro with "Mornin' Mornin'" which peaked at #70: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOsJE-iAvo

10/3/81: Now, here's Art Garfunkel with "A Heart In New York", which fell from #91 after peaking at #66. I'd guess a fair number of people's only exposure to this song came from its inclusion in the Simon and Garfunkel Concert in Central Park around this time.
