It spent one week on the Bubbling Under chart at #121 for the week ending June 5, 1993 (my 16th birthday, by the way), and was the last song to chart on Billboard's pop chart for Marc Cohn - "Walk Through the World". Guess this wasn't called "Walking in Memphis Part 2".

It was originally released in 1977, but in 1994 it was re-released as the follow-up single to "Mary Jane's Last Dance" from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Greatest Hits album. This time, "American Girl" hit the Billboard Bubbling Under chart, but only got as high as #109 (it did better on the Cashbox chart, though, reaching #68). For the week ending June 18, 1994, it was down from #114 to #116 in its fifth and final week on the Bubbling Under chart.

On today's chart date in 1999, Dwight Yoakam debuted at #81 on the Hot 100 with his cover of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"; it would eventually peak at #64, his highest-charting Hot 100 hit. The song was also used for a Gap commercial around the same time.

There were three runners-up the last time I posted 1997 earlier in June, and those three songs are still on the Hot 100 Airplay chart for June 28, 1997. Edging out "Shame on You" by Indigo Girls and "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" by The Smashing Pumpkins this week is... "Here in My Heart" by Chicago. A then-new track off their greatest hits album The Heart of Chicago 1967-1997, the song was holding at #64 that week and climbed up to its peak of #59 on the July 5 chart.

At the beginning of the month I posted a hip-hop song from Grand Puba of Brand Nubian; now here's a song from Brand Nubian's debut album One for All. Sampling "What I Am" by Edie Brickell and New Bohemians, "Slow Down" was at #73 on the Hot R&B Singles chart for June 29, 1991 and previously peaked at #63.
Also from the album was the eponymous track "Brand Nubian".

It did well on Hot AC radio, finishing at #12 on Casey's Hot 20 year-end for 1994. I wish it did better on pop radio also, but no matter what, a very enjoyable song.

From his second album It Was Written, Nas' "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" (featuring Lauryn Hill) climbed from #62 to #61 on the July 6, 1996 Hot 100, eventually reaching #53.
The beginning of the music video features a small portion of "The Message", also from the It Was Written album. WARNING: NSFW lyrics!

Continuing with the theme of covers from the last post, the July 15, 1995 Hot 100 featured two covers of 70s songs debuting that week from two R&B acts.
The first one, Brownstone, debuted at #89 with the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why", but unlike the original, this one missed both the Top 10 and the Top 40, peaking at #54. The song also made Radio and Records' pop chart but again missed the Top 40, hitting #49.
The second act, Portrait, debuted ten notches lower at #99, with "How Deep Is Your Love", but this Bee Gees cover only climbed a little bit higher to #93.
