7/29/72: Debuting at the bottom are The Honey Cone and "Sittin' On A Time Bomb (Waitin' For The Hurt To Come)". The song peaked at #90. As a bonus I'll note that the following week, 8/5/72, there was a special AT40 counting down the top 40 albums. On the singles chart, entering at the bottom was the Moody Blues' "Nights In White Satin", which would climb from #100 to #2 over the next three months. And Chuck Berry would debut and eventually peak one notch higher than the Moody Blues song, as "My Ding-a-Ling" entered at #99 and eventually became his only Hot 100 #1.

And at #97 for 8/5/1972 and holding that position before peaking at #91 is British singer and songwriter Albert Hammond with "Down By The River" (Albert Hammond's follow up, "It Never Rains In Southern California", would become his first of his 2 top 40 American hits): www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKIYRP48-Cg

Debuting there for its only Billbarod Hot 100 week on 8/10/1974 is Clarence Reid with "Funky Party": www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAY0Q9XDDOw

Uh, jmorgan: You are wrong on 8/8/1981 since you used the BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS for 8/1/1981, this is the correct BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS for 8/8/1981: #100 is "Two Hearts" by Stephanie Mills and Teddy Pendergrass, #99 is "What are We Doing in Love" by Dottie West and Kenny Rogers, and on to #98 and falling from #64 after peaking at #55 is Randy Vanwarmer of "Just When I Needed You Most" fame with "Suzi": www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpMDE7nSJjU

8/12/78: Falling from its #89 peak is a 5-man band from San Francisco named Spellbound. Here's "Rumor At The Honky Tonk." Never heard of this record so I looked it up. Country-rock along the lines of Firefall with vocals that remind me of England Dan and John Ford Coley. Contains the great lyric (that probably contributed to its limited chart success) "screw the rumor at the honky tonk."

8/21/76:
Falling from #58 to the bottom is Neil Sedaka's #36 song "Steppin' Out", while Steve Miller and his band's "Take The Money And Run" fell from #52 to #99. Now, here's the band Ozo and "Listen To The Buddah." This song moved up a spot to #98 and would peak at #96.
8/17/85:
A cult classic here, because it's John Fogerty's "Centerfield." The song fell from #96 to the bottom after peaking at #44.

The song fell from #96 to the bottom after peaking at #44. "Centerfield" by John Fogerty was originally on the B-side of Mr. Fogerty's #20 song "Rock 'n Roll Girls". And since you did "Listen to the Buddha" by Ozo before for 8/14/1976...#97 is "I Need to Be in Love" by the Carpenters, #96 is a song I covered for 8/7/1976 when Sonny Melendez guest hosted for Casey Kasem called "Dancin' Kid" by Disco Tex and the Sex-o-Lettes", and on to #95 and debuting in that position is the group Jigsaw of "Sky High" and "Love Fire" fame with a song that would peak at #81 called "Brand New Love Affair": www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hL93g_njSw

8/25/73:
New Birth debuted at the bottom with "Until It's Time For You To Go." Since that song has been already mentioned on page 12, let's move on to country star Barbara Fairchild. She debuted at #99 with "Kid Stuff." The song would peak at #95 pop and #2 country.
The BOTC for 8/30/86 can be found on page 3.

Radio." 9/1/84: Falling from #92 after peaking at #57 is Joe Jackson and "Happy Ending." 2 HAPPY related songs for this week's BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS! Another thing: Elaine Caswell (a minor one time pop singer?) sings with Joe Jackson on "Happy Ending".
