I have always been fascinated with charts where a song drops to a certain number, and the song that was at that number goes to the place where the former was. So listening to the 5/24/86 show today, I was blown away by something I had never noticed before.
"Why Can't This Be Love" by Van Halen plunged from three to 11, which is one of the bigger drops I have ever seen from the three slot. Meanwhile, "Own My Own" by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald vaulted from 11 up to number three. Again, a big time move that you just didn't see in 1986. Together, that is the largest switch for two songs in regards to next week's chart position that I have ever seen.
Has anyone ever clued into switches like that? I know they happen 1 and 2, 1 and 3, sometimes even 1 and 4 or 1 and 5. However, 3 and 11 might stand up there as the largest "switch". Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone else has even paid attention to things like this outside of the number one position.
Curious if any of you have ever seen anything like this.
