Airing this weekend on SXM 2/3/79 You Thrill Me debuting at #40 then the next week...off the entire Hot 100. Some of the crazy chart dynamics of the Bill Wardlow days. Around that time (1978-79), it seems like there were a number of songs that would climb a little each week, then peak, then take a huge plunge.

He wasn't the same guy who even had those 1982 Billboard charts make songs hold positions for 3, 4, 5, or 6 weeks.

Actually he was more linked with the massive drops from #1 in the Fall of 1974.

Actually he was more linked with the massive drops from #1 in the Fall of 1974. Well, he was certainly well-known for those 1974 drops, but I wouldn't say he was known better for that. Obviously the 1982-early 1983 charts come to mind when reflecting on his tenure, and also suspect charts from the late 1970s ("Baker Street", anyone?). I don't think any one thing with Bill Wardlow stands out more than the others.
