For 9/18/76: Debuting at #100, but only going up to #55, is Jermaine Jackson with "Let's Be Young Tonight." www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1XlAl_M2yE9/18/82: Falling from #99 (that's right, one whole notch) after peaking at #57, is a fun song from Jerry Reed. It spent two weeks at the top of the country charts, and it was his third and final #1. "Here's "She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)". www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz8dt1-Kh0U9/8/84: Falling from #93 is The Cars' "Magic." Moving on. we find Duran Duran's #1 "The Reflex, which fell from #90. So, the lost song at #98 (which fell from its peak of #88) is a band from New Zealand named Dragon.

Great funny song indeed from Jerry. And that is the only charted disco song recorded by Jermaine Jackson which is a surprise to me. Guessing Jermaine did not take to disco as other artists like Marvin Gaye did not either.

Didn't "Let's Get Serious" hit #2 on the dance/club chart?

9/18/71: Debuting at the bottom was a soul singer from L.A. named Nolan Porter. Billed on the label as simply Nolan, he only spent two weeks on the Hot 100 peaking at 98 with "I Like What You Give." www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qwsZMZ1K3g9/27/75: Another song debuting at the bottom. This one is by a rock guitarist from Memphis named Travis Wammack. This song peaked at 72 and is called "Easy Evil." www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbvOd3i6tcI9/19/81: At the bottom was Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams." That was followed by "Bette Davis Eyes, which fell from 93. At #98, and falling from 92 after peaking at 48, is Jefferson Starship with "Stranger." www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dBXA2xEo49/20/86: #100 was Janet Jackson's "Nasty" which fell from 84. Next was Bruce Hornsby & The Range's "Every Little Kiss." It fell from #75 after peaking at 72. However, since it was re-released the following year and peaked at #15, I will not include it here. at #98 was Genesis' former #1 "Invisible Touch" and that fell from 79. So, the "bottom" this week was at #97. There we find Mick Jagger and the theme song to the film "Ruthless People." It fell from 66 after peaking at 51. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHzg96mZKxE

Lots of action, so let's get right down to it! First, 10/6/79: Falling from its peak of #71 is a singer-songwriter from the Greenwich Village area of NYC. Here's Carolyne Mas and "Stillsane". www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMxNQwiFu4410/7/72: Debuting and peaking at the bottom is B.J. Thomas. Backed with help from The Blossoms, here's "Happier Than The Morning Sun." The song was written by Stevie Wonder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbQTizEI-0kNow, on to the 80's, starting with 10/5/85: Falling from 77 to the bottom was Laura Branigan's "Spanish Eddie", which just squeaked out a #40 peak. Next was DeBarge's top ten "Who's Holding Donna Now" which was followed by Kenny Loggins' "Forever", which also squeaked out at #40. So, I have to go to #97 and staying there in that spot (after peaking at #81) is Natalie Cole with "A Little Bit Of Heaven." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TL8gQD3-ugFinally, 10/9/82: Falling from #86 after peaking at #47 is Steve Winwood with "Still In The Game." www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4uyHmK5AWk

A good example of picking the wrong first single. Followup "Valerie" wasn't a big hit originally but would become better known in a remix version.
