In honor of the 30th. anniversary of the demise of the old AT40 from the US radio airwaves, here are 2 special BUBBLING UNDER BOTC from 1994 using Billboard's BUBBLING UNDER charts:

June 25, 1994 (The last Shadoe AT40 I heard in the USA on WDEK DeKalb back in 1994):

At #125 is El Debarge with "Can't Get Enough":

July 9, 1994 (The date what some think is the last original rum AT40 aired on US radio stations):

At #125 is rap duo Gang Starr with "Code of the Streets":

Moving on to 7/21/73, and starting off with the Donna Fargo song "You Were Always There, which fell from #96 to #100. That record was previously mentioned on page 31, so we move on to #99. Moving down two spots, and peaking at #88, is a trumpeter from Detroit named Donald Byrd with a track called "Black Byrd." The band The Blackbyrds would take their name from this song, and Byrd would later produce their hits like "Walking In Rhythm."

7/27/74 starts with Dick Feller debuting at the bottom with "Makin' The Best Of A Bad Situation." Since that song has been mentioned on page 11, we move on to the group Esctasy, Passion & Pain and "Good Things Don't Last Forever", which fell from #97 to #99 after peaking at #93.

Here's a special BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS tied in to this Labor Day weekend's September 2, 2000 AT40 bonus show which used the R&R CHR/Pop chart source:

At #50 is the previously covered by me "808" by Blaque, and on to #49 and in that position though not making the AT40 reaches is Kid Rock with "Wasting Time":
