Paul Anka's #7 hit "Time Of Your Life" fell from #98 to the bottom. Now, debuting at #99, is the band Marmalade. The same band who gave us their top ten from early '70 called "Reflections Of My Life" now give us "Falling Apart At The Seams" which peaked at #49.

Now, at #98 was the former bass player of the "All Right Now" band Free Andy Fraser. His version of The Contours smash "Do You Love Me" fell from #88 after peaking at #82.

Don Fardon was famous for his original version of "Indian Reservation" later covered in 1971 by the Raiders.

And 7/31/1979 for the Linda Rondstat song? You mean 3/31/1979.

Might want to proofread your own post before posting, if you want to continually call out others on here for theirs as you have done.

In other words, don't throw stones when standing inside a glass house.

Capisce?

For April Fools Day 2022, I am presenting a special BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS using not the Hot 100 or Billboard Top 40 Radio Monitor chart sources, but...

...THE BUBBLING UNDER THE HOT 100 CHART SOURCE!

Bubbling Under The Hot 100 lasted from June 1, 1959 to August 24, 1985 and again from December 4, 1992 to November 28, 1978. Originally it had 15 positions then expanded to 30-36, then by the 1970's it was 10 positions, for its 1992-1998 revival it had 25 positions.

Here are the dates of these key dates:

June 1, 1959 (First Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart):

At #115 are the Kingston Trio with "M.T.A." which would make the Hot 100, and we go on to #114 and at that position is Neil Sedaka with "Crying My Heart Out For You":

August 24, 1985 (Final Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart until December 1992):

At #110 is Gwen Guthrie (who a year later would miss AT40 territory by a few spots with "Ain't Nothing Goin' On But the Rent") with "Padlock":

December 4, 1992 (Return of the Bubbling Hot 100 chart):

At #125 is Mary J. Blige with "Reminisce":

November 28, 1998 (Last Bubbling Hot 100 chart):

At #125 is country singer Sara Evans, featuring backing vocals by Vince Gill, with "No Place That Far":

The 1980's Cretones are not the same Cretones band/musicians who perform the music for the ABC late night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", I guess.
