Hi, everyone.
On Casey's AT40/CT40 shows, every week he mentioned the week's biggest mover.
I know big movers such as
I'll be There/Mariah Carey #40-16(24 notches) May 1992
Dreamlover/Mariah #38-15(23 notches) Jul.1993
On Bended Knee/Boyz II Men #40-18(22 notches) Nov.1994
Secret/Madonna #30-8(22 notches) Oct.1994
Hero/Mariah #35-14(21 notches) Oct.1993
I'll Make Love to You/Boyz II Men #39-18(21 notches) Aug.1994
Praying for Time/George Michael #38-18(20 notches) Aug.1990
Without You/Mariah #30-10(20 notches) Jan.1994
I would like to know what song is the all time biggest mover on R&R ?

I think "I'll Be There" was the biggest one within the top 40, but I know Madonna's "Frozen" jumped from 44-15 on R&R in late February '98, which is 29 notches.

Actually, "Frozen" moved 45-15, which is 30 spots.
But yeah, for a Top 40 chart, "I'll Be There" holds the record for the biggest jump in a single week, with a 24-spot move. "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon moved 36-12, which is also 24 spots; however, that was over the two-week holiday break between 1975 and 1976, so that shouldn't count because surely it wouldn't have sat at #36 for those two weeks if the charts had been printed.

If you're talking about "Biggest Mover" on Casey's Top 40, based on the information given in the previous message, "I'll Be There" would hold that honor. According to Mark Elliot who hosted CT40 on Mar 7, 1998 "Frozen", which debuted that week, tied for highest debut so far in the 1990s with "If You Go" by Jon Secada.

That's right, and as far as I know, there was no countdown show in existence that used the R&R charts as a basis in early 1976, so "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" wouldn't be counted anyway. I believe the first countdown show to use the R&R charts was "Countdown America", which premiered in January, 1983. Unless Dick Clark switched from the Cashbox charts before then for his "National Music Survey". |

You're right, I've been working on earlier CT40 playlists and Mark Elliot showed up a great deal in those years.
