AT 40 wasn't always loyal to BB in its yearenders though 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 were BB, 1972. 1973, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 their own. So in Casey's run (1970-1987) 9 years were BB, 9 were AT 40's Personally, I would have liked to have seen AT40 do their own every year. Me too, and I'm glad they especially didn't go with Billboard in 1980. Our own vince drew up all the top 100s from 1970-1989, even correcting some mathematical errors from BB/AT40. Phenomenal job.

I may be getting ahead of myself, but since "Filthy" has already dropped out of Mediabase's Top 40, we could see this chart run: 20-14-14-15-off. Except for Christmas hits, how many songs spend their entire lives on any airplay chart inside the Top 20?

I don't have the energy to do a complete chart run (44 weeks in the Hot 100!) of "Tainted Love,": fast dropping from 31 to 86, and now for the major weirdness: 96,99,98,98,97,97,97,97,97 for its last 9 weeks on the Hot 100.

Anything involving charts from 1982 has some degree of weirdness. Well yeah, but that was weird even for 1982. It's almost like there was payola involved to keep that record on the Hot 100 long enough for it to break the record - and two additional weeks to avoid suspicion.

"I Like Me Better" by Lauv is having a very interesting run on AT 40. It debuted on the top 40 on 1/13/18 at position 40. The next week, it was the biggest mover jumping up to 33. Its run after that week has looked like this: 35-37-36-36-35-28-27-25-24-23 and then jumping into the top 20 last week at number 18. During none of this time has the song lost airplay momentum, yet it has either gone down, gone up just slightly, or had a big burst. It has been fascinating to chart!

"Side Effects" by The Chainsmokers f/Emily Warren had a strong start. I'm surprised it fell apart so quickly:
27 (highest debut) - 20 - 17 - 14 - 12 - 14 - 24 - off

Tainted Love (by Soft Cell) stayed on the Cash Box charts for 36 weeks; while I Go Crazy (by Paul Davis) spent 37 weeks. Of course, the weirdest chart run in Cash Box happened in 1992/1993 when The Letter by Wayne Newton spent 31 weeks on the chart and it reached #1 in December 1992 (in it's 21st week on the chart). By the way, it was Wayne's second #1, as Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast reached the top of the Cash Box chart in August of 1972.

I never heard of this Wayne Newton song until it was discussed on these boards a few years ago. I listened to Dick Clark's "Countdown America" regularly in the early 1990s, but it was strange that it never made that chart. I could see the tune making the AC chart in 1992, but a song like this would have had a hard time making it on pop radio after about 1983.

I never heard of this song until I started looking at the Cash Box charts a few years ago and I think this was a case of total payola (or maybe somebody at Cash Box was either a huge Wayne Newton or Elvis Presley fan). I agree with you this might have been either a Top 20 A/C or Country hit but no way it should have made it to #1 on the pop chart. Since the song was never issued as an official single, it is difficult to know the 'real story' of how this thing ever charted at all. I would think the chart run of this song probably cost Cash Box what ever credibility they had at the time--notice just a year later they didn't publish every week in 1993 and struggled to make it through the mid '90's before they went under in 1996. Y'know when Record World quit publishing in 1982, Cash Box didn't pick up much of the advertising from the industry--and it probably didn't help them when both Dick Clark and Rick Dees dropped their charts from their countdown shows in the 1980's.

Regarding "The Letter," that particular Wayne Newton song ...
Was anyone listening regularly to the radio at the time? For me, I was listening to pop, urban/crossover, oldies and AC (all kinds of AC,) in all of my free time. That means the commute, on breaks, in the evenings, M-F, and all weekend, at a different job where I could listen to the radio, while working. I never, EVER heard Wayne's song. I was in Central Florida at the time.
I did hear "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" on a station that played only 1970s music, but ANYTHING '70s, all the time.
I swear, I still think I'm missing part of the story. I mean, besides typical payola.

'Tainted love' was 43 weeks on the Hot 100, not 44.

Unchained Melody in 1990: 37-30-24-19-19-15-13-15-17-22-28-31-30-40-39-40 The last 4 weeks in particular. Looks like you got the chart runs of the two different versions of the song mixed up. The original version of "Unchained Melody" - its chart run went like so: 37-30-24-19-19-15-13-15-17-25-36 The chart run of the 1990 re-recording: 30-25-22-19-22-28-31-30-40-39-40 You were right about its four weeks being odd, though. However, that was because the 1990 re-recording charted almost exclusively on sales, as most radio stations were charting the original 1965 version. Sales reports tended to be a little erratic around that time, while the chart runs on airplay charts were generally somewhat "tapered". Would have been interesting had the Top 40 Radio Monitor started out a few months before. However, that chart came to be in early December, by which time the original was done on the chart.
