12/8/73:
Debuting at the bottom was Kool & The Gang's top 5 hit "Jungle Boogie", while B.B. King also debuted one step ahead with his top 30 song called "I Like To Live The Love." Also debuting at #98, but only peaking four spots higher, is the Cleveland band known as the Raspberries. This is "I'm A Rocker."
12/13/87:
Falling from #71 to #100 is Michael Jackson's iconic #1 "Bad", so, moving on 10 #99. There we find a British duo named Millions Like Us. Their song "Guaranteed For Life" fell from #73 after peaking at #69.

The entire 'Side 3' LP is excellent, but Capitol probably lost money on every copy sold given the unusual shape of the fold-out cover: goo.gl/images/JMtBzc

Speaking of George Harrison, since that "Wake Up My Love" song was from George's 1982 "Gone Troppo" album, do you remember another track from "Gone Troppo" called "Dream Away" which was first heard in the end credits of the 1981 movie "Time Bandits"?

12/20/75:
Debuting at the bottom is the B-side of Conway Twitty's #1 "Touch The Hand" called "Don't Cry Joni." It peaked at #63 pop and #4 country. In case you were wondering, Joni was Conway's daughter at the time.
12/24/85:
Debuting at #100 is Dionne Warwick and Luther Vandross' top 30 duet "How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye", while Prince's top ten "Delirious" fell from #94 to #99. Now, falling from its #87 peak, is a band from Atlanta named The Streets. Here's "If Love Should Go."

You mean 12/24/1983 for the Streets song you did last year, let's go one more notch up to #97 and at that position dropping from its peak at #81 is the British group Industry with "State of the Nation": www.youtube.com/watch?v=noS1viHX6zA

jmorgan didn't do a BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS this week, so I decided to fill in for him: 12/23/1972 (During Part 1 of the AT40 Top 80 of 1972): Debuting at #100 is a group who wouldn't make the AT40 reaches until a year later with "Smoking in the Boys Room", this is Brownsville Station with a song that only got up to #96 called "The Red Back Spider": www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcsDtvULi9412/23/1978 (During the AT40 Top 100 of 1972): Falling to #100 from its #84 peak is Jimmy Buffet with "Manana": www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4HLbYUEb3Q1/3/1987 (During the AT40 Top 100 of 1986): We all know the 12/27/1986 BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS was "Every Beat of My Heart" by Rod Stewart, so let's continue on for this FROZEN CHART: #99) "Freedom Overspill" - Steve Winwood #98) "Sweet Love" - Anita Baker #97) "True Colors" - Cyndi Lauper #96) "If I Say Yes" - Five Star (Previously covered for a Charlie Van Dyke guest hosted AT40 show from March 1987) ...and finally, we get to #95 and falling to that position from #78 after peaking at #68 are the duo of Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox better known as the Eurythmics with "Thorn in My Side": www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AmkmqYEarw

Which, as Casey mentioned on the '73 show from a couple of weeks ago, shared a 'thematic element' with their later top ten hit.

1/10/76:
Debuting at the bottom, and only peaking one spot higher, is a band named S.S.O. and "Tonight's The Night."
1/10/81:
Falling down a spot was Irene Cara's top 20 "Out Here On My Own", while Jimmy Hall's #27 hit "I'm Happy That Love Has Found You" dropped a spot from #98 to #99. Now, falling a spot from #97 to #98 after peaking right in the middle is a duet between Robin Gibb and future Shakespeare Sister member Marcy Levy. Here's "Help Me."
Incidentally, go to page 6 for the 1/19/85 BOTC.

Now, falling a spot from #97 to #98 after peaking right in the middle is a duet between Robin Gibb and future Shakespeare Sister member Marcy Levy. Here's "Help Me." Incidentally, go to page 6 for the 1/19/85 BOTC. First: Welcome back to doing your BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS after a few weeks absence, jmorgan. Second: The middle of the charts is position #50 for the Marcy Levy/Robin Gibb duet "Help Me" peak, it also came from the soundtrack of some little known 1980 movie called "Times Square", and I wonder: Did then AT40 host Shadoe Stevens play a piece of this Marcy Levy song when Shakespear's Sister's songs "Stay" or "I Don't Care" were on the AT40 charts in 1992-1993? Third, you covered the S.S.O. song before from 1976, but let's go one notch higher to #99 and debuting in that posiition are the Atlanta Disco Band with their instrumental cover of the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes 1975 pop and R&B song "Bad Luck" which would peak at #94: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGaP2Ham_10

I guess it was lucky for Rod Stewart that the weak showing of the S.S.O. song left an opening for his far more successful song later that year of the same name.
Marcy Levy sang in Eric Clapton's band mid 70's and co-wrote "Lay Down Sally."
