AND NOW FOR SOME BONUS BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS!:

First, what I didn't do last week when for the 4th. of July weekend when there were special AT40 1998-2000 shows offered, and these come from the top 50 R&R CHR/Pop chart sources AT40 was using at the time:

7/4/1998:

50) "Kiss The Rain" - Billie Meyers
49) "Do You Really Want Me" - Robyn
48) "Say It" - Voices of Theory

...and then on to #47 and moving up from #50 is a duet by Babyface and Des'ree from the flop 1998 movie "Hav Plenty", this is a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song that was performed by the Pointer Sisters in 1979 called "Fire":

Dropping from #46 to #50 is a group called Trinket with "Boom":

FINALLY, from the last Billboard chart of the 1960's! From December 27, 1969 when the last #1 song of the 1960's decade "Someday We'll Be Together" by Diana Ross and the Supremes moved into the #1 spot:

#100 is B.B. King with "The Thrill is Gone", and debuting at #99 but peaking at that position is soul/R&B singer Ruby Winters with "Guess Who":

I just came back from my vacation yesterday, so now I'm back doing this segment. Unfortunately, it seems that this past weekend's BOTC's are on different pages.

7/8/72 - page 17
7/14/79 - page 24
7/12/80 and 7/9/88 - page 2

[jmorgan]

Sounding like a broken record here, but no new BOTC's this week.

7/15/78 - page 2
7/12/86 - page 17

[jmorgan]

3rd straight week where the BOTC's are on other pages.

7/22/77 - page 2
7/23/83 - page 10

Actually, it's 5 straight weeks.

[jmorgan]

The 80's BOTC's can both be found on page 11, while the 7/28/73 BOTC is found on page 31.

7/28/79 kicks off with the Kinks' #33-peaking "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", which fell from #92 to #100. Also falling from #84 to #99 is Art Garfunkel's take on the Skyliners' hit "Since I Don't Have You." Art's version peaked at #53.

jmorgan: The 7/28/1979 #100 "Rock and Roll Fantasy" song that peaked at #13 (not #33) was by Bad Company, not the Kinks.

[jmorgan]

7/31/76 begins with the former #1 from Diana Ross "Love Hangover", which fell from #64 to #100. Now, here's a 4-man soul group from NYC named Revelaton and "You To Me Are Everything." It debuted at #99, but only peaked one spot higher.



The BOTC's for 8/8/70 and 8/1/87 are located on pages 3 and 11 respectively.

"You To Me Are Everything" would later be covered the same 1976 by another soul group called The Real Thing.
