I am going way back on this one, and I'm not including recent surveys, which are not based as much on sales, but does anyone know the biggest drop from the Hot 100? I am not sure but In and Out of Love in December 1967 dropped off the Hot 100 from position 21 and just before that A Letter From My Teenage Son dropped out from position 22. Does anyone know of larger drops out of the Hot 100? It sure seems strange that a song would lose popularity of nearly 80 positions in just one week! Thanks for any insight and I'm not counting today's charts but probably before 2000!

Wow that was over 80 points and possibly the record!!!! Thanks deadeaconcon! Especially since that was a two-sided hit, with the other side being Sally G. You would have thought more people would have bought the record for either song just a week later!!!

Actually, I think what happened with "Junior's Farm" was Apple effectively flipped the record and began promoting "Sally G", which apparently many radio stations were already playing. "Junior's Farm"'s last week listed on the chart was 1/25/75, at #17, but the next week the B-side was listed at #66, and it climbed back up to #39. Incidentally, Casey played "Sally G" on the 1/11/75 AT40, when "Junior's Farm" was still seen as the hit side, as well as when it reentered the top 40, this time as the hit, on February 22.

Thank you mkarns, that might explain the extreme drop? I remember a similiar instance when You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet was dropping down the chart and Free Wheelin made a huge jump back into Top 10 after already having peaked at #1. I thought in 1969 songs were listed together when Come Together and Something went from separate chart positions to combined and rose to number one in November 1969, so that seems strange that Juniors Farm and Sally G would be listed separately. Ahhh the days when you really got your money's worth for two sided singles--the Beatles and CCR were always good for that!

Just remember another instance, when Another Park Another Sunday peaked I think at 39? and several months later in early 1975 Black Water (flip side of Another Park Another Sunday) was released and did go to Number 1. Does anyone know if the flip side of Black Water was also Another Park Another Sunday when re-released in 1975?

The record set back in the 70's was by "Nights In White Satin". On the 12/2/72 HOT 100, the song was at #17. The next chart, 12/9/72, the song had fallen completely off the chart.

When "Black Water" was issued as an A-side at the very end of 1974, "Song To See You Through" was its flip. |

Incidentally, Casey answered this kind of question twice in the early '70s, giving an incorrect answer each time, before a listener wrote in with the correct answer ("Nights") in July 1973. |
