I would send this question in if a radio show actually answered chart related questions now but they don't so I'll ask it here. Has any song ever debuted high on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (like within the Top 30 or so) and then in it's 2nd week immediately begin to fall off the chart?

Paul,
I can't think of an example right off the top but I believe Casey once answered this question. And it seems to me, for your scenario, that you're probably looking at a late 50s or 60s song, likely a Christmas or novelty song.

Just about every 'Idol or Gleester song does this. Well, I guess I mean anything in the BB Hot 100 era until the infamous November week in 1991. And I'll even add R&R/Mediabase to the list of curiosity although I know they don't do a Top 100 or anything. But in my rememberance anything debuting in the higher 20s was a high debut so let's say anything in the Top 25 for them. |

Sometime in the early '80s Casey brought up the odd chart run of Chuck Berry's classic "Roll Over Beethoven" in 1956 (so this was pre-Hot 100). That song debuted on Billboard's Top 100 chart at #29, but the following week plunged to #87 and hovered near the bottom of the chart for a few more weeks before disappearing. I've always wondered if this was just some sort of error in Billboard's compiling of the chart since there doesn't seem to be any reasonable explanation for the high debut and subsequent nosedive.

On the R&R chart, back in 1975, "I Wanna Learn A Love Song" by Harry Chapin debuted at #28 and then fell out the following week. But it was indeed an error - there was even a footnote the week that the song fell out explaining that there was computer error.

This isn't exactly the same thing, but on the air date of May 1, 1994 on Casey's Top 40, "Found Out About You" mysteriously re-entered the chart at #17 and was gone the next week. Someone else here had mentioned that R&R may have been adjusting to the new way they compiling the charts.

Does this count for songs that only made the AT40 reaches for its only week at #40, #39, or #38?

I know in October 1992 "My Name Is Prince" by Prince entered the Billboard Radio Monitor at #37 (Shadoe Stevens AT40 territory at the time) then dropped out of the top 40 the next week. |

Slightly different than debuting and immediately falling. By then, however, it was extremely rare for a song to fall off of the Hot 100 from the Top 100, especially if it was still climbing the week before. |

Indeed it was unusual in 1979 for any song to drop out of the Hot 100 from Position 40. Evelyn Champagne King's "I Don't Know If It's Right" fell out of Hot 100 at position 40. Many songs seemed to linger in the 90's for weeks.

Many songs seemed to linger in the 90's for weeks. And when AT40 had the Billboard Radio Monitor chart source November 1991-December 1992 and the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream source there would be a song removed from the chart because of a recurrent rule - including several dropping while still in the top 20. |
