On the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for March 27, 1999, Metallica's cover of Thin Lizzy's interpretation of the traditional Irish song "Whiskey in the Jar" dropped from #4 (where it peaked) to #5; "Whiskey" also hit #124 on the Bubbling Under chart that April.
Probably NSFW due to the video content.

In its second week on the Album Rock Tracks chart for March 30, 1996, Collective Soul's "Where the River Flows" climbed from #40 to #37, and by May would spend a two week stay at #1.
Today's runner-up from the same chart is another water-based song - "Water's Edge" by Seven Mary Three.

Did this make the top 40 of R&R used for Casey's Top 40 and Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 at the time?

Did this make the top 40 of R&R used for Casey's Top 40 and Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 at the time? It reached #30, but here's a song that did not hit the Top 40 there or in Billboard. On the Hot 100 Airplay chart for April 1 of that year, "Plowed" by Sponge was down from #51 to #52, but rebounded and barely missed the Top 40 with a #41 peak.

For April Fool's Day 2024, here's a lost 1990's classic selected by me: Even though it never made Billboard's Hot 100 but was played as a sure shot on Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 in December 1994, this is Weird Al Yankovic's parody of the Crash Test Dummies' "MMMM MMMM MMMM MMMM" called "Headline News": www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU95v23MQ4c

"For the First Time" by Kenny Loggins, from the film One Fine Day, debuted at #68 on the April 5, 1997 Hot 100 Airplay chart. Unlike many of his movie hits from the 80s, this one didn't get beyond #60.

The Chicago pop-rock trio known as Material Issue climbed from #4 to their #3 peak on the April 6, 1991 Modern Rock Tracks chart with "Valerie Loves Me", their highest-reaching song on the chart. The lead singer, Jim Ellison, unfortunately committed suicide five years later in 1996.

David Hasselhoff's cover of the Hamilton/Joe Frank/Reynolds' "Fallin' in Love" may have not been a hit in 1995, but there was another "Fallin' in Love" cover in 1993 by a pre-teen rapper named New Born that also wasn't a big hit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x92BC6wx4oM

Right Said Fred's follow-up to "I'm Too Sexy" didn't come close to reaching the heights its predecessor did; "Don't Talk Just Kiss" debuted on the April 18, 1992 Hot 100 at #88, but only peaked at #76. Jocelyn Brown provides the female vocals.
