Coming close to hitting the Top 40 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, the Foo Fighters' "Everlong" reached #42 in November 1997. On the January 17, 1998 Modern Rock Tracks chart, it was down to #12 after having peaked at #3 for nine weeks.

jlthorpe your knowledge and dedication to this thread is awesome. I thoroughly have enjoyed this thread over the years. Thank you for your knowledge and commitment! I know you usually (if not always) comment on songs that didn't hit the top 40 of the Hot 100, but your knowledge of the 90's charts is so vast, I figured this was as good of a place to ask this question: Have we seen else quite like Twelve Guage's "Dunkie Butt" which peaked at 28 however finished at number 27 for the entire year of 1994 and I dare say no one has heard on radio since then? Something about your latest Tag Team post made me think of Dunkie. Looking at it's stats, from a Billboard perspective, I would think it would be rare if a song peaking that low ever did higher on the year end chart.

I wonder if "Dunkie Butt" was inspired by Duice's "Daisy Dukes" that same 1993 year.

Something about your latest Tag Team post made me think of Dunkie. Looking at it's stats, from a Billboard perspective, I would think it would be rare if a song peaking that low ever did higher on the year end chart. I'm very honored by the compliment! Most of the songs I post are ones I've heard over the years, not just during the 90s but in the years since then. For example, most of the hip-hop songs I post come from listening to SiriusXM's old classic hip-hop channel Backspin or from reruns of In Living Color, as I rarely listened to hip-hop during the 90s itself. Although for the Tag Team song, I do remember seeing the video for it back then, possibly on a short-lived music show called Music Scoupe (which Kelly Ripa co-hosted for a time) that aired around 1993. I feel 80sat40fan should also get credit for the work he did in this thread. There are a lot of songs he's posted that I have no familiarity with. As for the "Dunkie Butt" question, most of my chart information comes from the Joel Whitburn books. Although I did follow Billboard charts in the 90s and remember some of that information, I haven't really devoted time to studying chart stats. "Dunkie Butt" itself is a song I do not recognize off the top of my head. By the way, where are you seeing that it hit #27? The Billboard Top 100 I'm seeing doesn't have it listed at all: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1994 If it did hit #27 somewhere, it has to be a mistake; either that, or 12 Gauge has the same connections as Wayne Newton.

You are certainly welcome, and yes 80sat40fan deserves tons of credit for one of the best threads on here. Thank you both! As for, "Dunkie" I think I answered the question after your post. On the wiki page for Dunkie it said that it finished 27 for 1994. However, after investigating the footnote that went with it, apparently "Dunkie" was the 27th biggest selling song of 1994, not the 27th biggest song of 1994. That makes much more sense. Thanks again. As I mentioned Tag Team got me thinking about the song and when I looked it up the info on Wiki got me wondering. Your link to the 1994 year end chart helped immensely!

I have an earlier edition of Top Pop Singles which still listed the individual sales and airplay chart stats, and on the sales chart it hit #10 (it did not hit the airplay chart at all). So it was definitely a big sales hit.

This song is not about Angela Lansbury.
Chaka Demus and Pliers were a Jamaican dancehall reggae duo who were on the Hot 100 this week in 1993 with "Murder She Wrote". At #71, the song would meet its demise at #57.

I remember hearing this song in TV ads for this dopey sex comedy Tomcats that came out in the early 2000s. The follow-up to rap group 69 Boyz's #8 Hot 100 hit "Tootsee Roll", "Kitty-Kitty" went down from #62 to #64 on the January 21, 1995 chart, but would eventually rebound and reach #51.

Putting the "hair" in hair metal, Fiona with Kip Winger were ironically at #69 this week in 1990 with their former #52 Hot 100 hit "Everything You Do (You're Sexing Me)".

At #109 on the January 30, 1999 Bubbling Under chart, Busta Rhymes' "Gimme Some More" was dropping from its peak of #105 the previous week. WARNING: Lyrics NSFW!

Debuting at #76 on the Hot 100 this week in 1994, "Laid" by the British band James climbed to #61 in April during a 13-week chart run. The song also peaked at #3 on the Modern Rock chart in December 1993.

Announcing this past week that he will no longer be touring due to health issues, Ozzy Osbourne was experiencing happier times in 1996. This week that year, "See You on the Other Side" (posted here in 2021) was up to #6 on the Album Rock Tracks chart, while "Perry Mason" was spending its 18th week on the chart at #33, having peaked at #3 the previous November.

MC Luscious, a rapper/singer from Florida, debuted on the February 8, 1992 Hot 100 with "Boom! I Got Your Boyfriend". At #91 that week, she took the song to #61 in April.
EDIT: Based on the editing, this might have been a fan-made version of the original 90s video. The clips I found on YouTube of the original video were too poor in quality to post.

Having spent a then-record sixteen weeks at #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, the song "Touch, Peel and Stand" by Days of the New was down to #6 for the week ending February 14, 1998. It also reached #57 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.
