Biggest Drop from Number 1

[chartslover]

I'm not sure if there has been a topic like this before, but I performed a search and found nothing, so what song has had the biggest fall from number 1 on your chart?

On my Top 100, even though Celine Dion is the artist with the most number one singles, her very first chart entry "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" has the dubious honor of being the single that had the most dramatic fall from 1, as it tumbled 1-21. :(

Nothing too drastic, but Chris Brown's "With You" fell 1-6 earlier this year.

[B-Boy]

T.I.'s "What You Know" dropped from #1 to #11 back in 2006.

[S4C]

Excluding the second chart where a Whiskey Falls album track fell off the chart from #1...

The ## is the position it fell to.

11 Lady Antebellum - Love Don't Live Here (3RD FALL)[/i]
04 Eli Young Band - When It Rains
03 Jimmy Needham - Fence Riders
03 Josh Turner feat. Trisha Yearwood - Another Try
03 Stephen Cochran - Everything We Knew
02 Gary Allan - Watching Airplanes
02 Jeremy Camp - No Matter What (1st fall)
02 Jeremy Camp - No Matter What (2nd fall)

Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair fell 1-8

Nicki Minaj - Starships (1-4)
Carrie Underwood - Blown Away (1-4)

I put this under one-week wonders, but I have a top ten chart. Only one song has fallen from the chart the week after #1 - Crazy Frog's "Axel F."

Now that I have a top 20 chart, I have a record of "The Walker" by Fitz and the Tantrums dropping from 1-20. That was a drop motivated by Pulse users though in a Danger Zone game. No other song has dropped from #1 out of the top naturally other than Axel F.

One Direction- "Rock Me" (1-39)
Drake- "The Motto" (1-6)
Bruno Mars- "It Will Rain" (1-5)
David Guetta- "She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)" (1-5)
Ke$ha- "Die Young" (1-5)

Daughtry's "Life After You" plummted from 1 to 7 the week of April 17, 2010. He proceeded to fight his way back to #1, and went on to have the #1 song of that year.

I'm not entirely sure of the record for my chart history but a few weeks ago, Dragonette fell 1-15 with their album track My Legs, which may be the standing record.

Wow, you did charts when you were 9? That's impressive.

I remember I didn't start until I was like 12, and some of the songs were made up hahaha. For some reason I had fake songs by Michelle Branch and Nsync chart in my top 5.

I started when I was 10. Lol crazy :/

Thanks. Actually, my first long chart was the week I turned 9 and Billy was the first topper :) it was a list with 25 song. I later extended it to 35 tho, while creating a Latin chart that also extended progressively. Fun times.

Another song that fell quickly was "Let It Go" by Luba in 1985. It fell something like 1-18 and left the chart after only 5-6 weeks. My chart would be more reasonable later

When I brought back my chart this Summer, Mariah's "Triumphant" debuted at number one and then fell off the chart the next week (because I did a classics theme with no currents then). It charted again the week after that.
