Notorious Billboard Chart Episodes

[Libra]

NOTE: In light of the Is Billboard a Joke? poll, please do not refer to current times unless you name a specific chart episode. Thank you. :)

What are some infamous chart episodes that have occured on the Billboard Hot 100?

I just referred to this one in the Is Billboard a Joke? poll:

In late 1997, when Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" was released, it saw monstrous sales - enough to give it #1 for more than 10 weeks (I forget how many). It gets worse - his sales figures were apparently enough to place him at the top of the 1997 year-end chart! Needless to say, I don't agree with that at all.

I recall two other episodes mentioned in R&R's Every Pop #1 topic:

There was one in 1974 where supposedly the #1 song fell to #12 for 6 straight weeks.

Another was regarding the songs "Physical", "Waiting For a Girl Like You", and "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)". Supposedly, WFAGLY was #2 for several weeks behind "Physical", and when ICGFT (NCD) hit #1 for a lone week, the former two both lost their bullets and dropped to #3 and #2, respectively. More details on this episode would be appreciated. :)

What are some others? Feel free to add detail to an already-listed story, details always help. :)

LMAO at the board's censorship feature.

One of the songs that fell from 1-12 in 1974 is part of another infamous episode... "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night" by John Lennon tumbled 1-12-21-40. The week it fell to #40, Paul McCartney was at #12 with "Junior's Farm" and Ringo Starr was at #25 with "Only You". Meanwhile, George Harrison was at #43 with "Dark Horse", ready to debut in the top 40 the following week. Up to that time (IIRC), there hadn't been a week when all four ex-Beatles were in the top 40 at the same time with solo hits, and with John obviously ready to plummet off it wasn't going to happen now.

Then... the 12/14/74 chart was released, and somehow the very song that had fallen from #1 to #40 in only three weeks held at #40 for a second week, allowing the amazing Beatle chart feat to take place. Fishy?

I have a book listing Billboard's Top 10 charts from 1958-1995.  I remember seeing where "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" moved 1-12-34-8 in 1974.  "Sweet Home Alabama" had a similar (though less bizarre) run.

Also, in my Hot 100's of the 1980's book, I noticed two bizarre trends.  One is that in 1982, a ton of songs made enormous plunges down the charts after peaking.  That year, songs would often fall from the 11-30 range down into the 50-70 range in one week!

Another is that in 1989, a great many songs made significant upward moves and then plunged the following week.  A few examples...

"That's The Way"  21-16-29
"I Feel The Earth Move"  30-25-40
"License To Chill"  38-32-44
"Sugar Daddy"  32-28-52

"License To Chill" 38-32-44

Talk about a stupid song and an embarrassing title!

Actually, the popularity of the flipside, "Free Wheelin'" caused the 34-8 resurge of that song.

And yeah, I remember the weird moves in 1989. "Licence To Chill" sure lost popularity fast. The week it moved 38-32, it didn't have a bullet, strangely enough. I'd never seen a bullet-less song with a six notch move within the Top 40. Even more weird, not long before, the song "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue moved 11-6 with no bullet. Must have been a lot of slack around that area of the chart.

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

Yes, 1989 was indeed a goofy year for Billboard. Throughout that year songs moved up the chart without bullets, and then came crashing down. In March or April that year, "It's Only Love" by Simply Red moved up from 61-57 with a bullet, but that same week "Driven Out" by The Fixx jumped from 63-55 without a bullet. I know bullets have nothing to do with chart movement, but still how could "Driven Out" not have a bullet by moving past Simply Red? Never could figure that one out.
Ulij20 mentioned the non-bulleted jump from 11-6 for "Dr. Feelgood." "Love Song" by The Cure went 10*-7*-4*-2-11. The Bee Gees "One" moved 13*-11*-7-21. Remember :Kisses On The Wind" by Neneh Cherry? 14*-12*-8-24-50. The week of April 15, 1989. There were three new entries in the top 10. "Your Mama Don't Dance" was number 10, "You Got It" by Roy Orbison was #9, and "Superwoman" by Karyn White was number 8. All three songs moved up 3 places without bullets, and all three fell out of the top 10 the following week.
What a year? I'll bet I can find many more if I study the charts a little more that year.
In 1991 "Real Real Real" by Jesus Jones went 7*-4-23-50.

[DuckHead]

Here's one that's a little weird:

On Billboard/AT40 in 1980, Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" had a chart run that included the following: 1-2-2-4-4-4-4-3-3-7. This rebound back to # 3 for 2 weeks enabled Queen to take the title for # 1 song of 1980 on the Pop Radio Top 20, beating out Blondie's "Call Me" by 15 points.

[BillboardBoy]

One of my least favorite Billboard chart episodes was late last year when they removed the AC chart for several weeks.

That, as long as when they cut the lists back to 20, is when I started boycotting Billboard Magazine altogether.

[victorvector]

"One Way or Another" by Blondie had a little hiccup in the middle of its run in Billboard: 41-35-34-41-29-26-24. is that strange? I found a book that had Cashbox runs, & I can't remember the exact numbers, but it didn't go anything like this; I'm pretty sure it was a smooth up & down. anyone with R&R info know how it went in there?

[jebsib]

We all know that on 11/30/91 the Hot 100 forever changed its methodology and has never really `felt' like the chart that preceded it during the previous three decades. Soundscan point of sale – scanning & BDS monitored airplay made the chart more accurate, slower, and less susceptible to manipulation by store clerks or radio interns `fudging' their song ranks.

The strange thing is that a year before that historic chart date in late '91, the Hot 100 had already become more bizarre. It had been surprisingly stable over the late 70s and 80s with fairly regular chart patterns. The music was great, so not too many of us complained about how routine the chart had become.

That is until 1991. The following represents some of the unusual chart happenings of the year that preceded the big shake-up - The last year of "the Hot 100, 1958-1991":

- The highest new entry in 21 years (Madonna, Rescue Me at #15)
- Biggest leap to #1 in 10 years (Mariah Carey, I Don't Wanna Cry)
- Longest running #1 song in 8 years (Paula Abdul, Rush Rush)
- Many examples of yo-yo climbs up the chart (Salt-n-pepa,
Steelheart, Tevin Campbell) – Before this year, it was very unusual for dropping songs to reverse course
- Many huge leaps were followed by sudden unexpected falls (Gerardo, MC Hammer) – again, not unheard of in the 70s, but very rare in the 80s .. You climb 10 or more notches, you would be safe for a few weeks.
- First Unbulleted slide into #1 (Timmy T) in years
- First Airplay-only songs (such as Janet Jackson, Bart Simpson) actually getting into top 15 of airplay chart, but ineligible for Hot 100
- Suddenly very high charting non-top 40 fare: (Rude Boys,
Whitney's Star Spangled Banner, Geto Boys, Voices that Care, Natalie Cole's Unforgettable)

There are many reasons for all of these: Top 40 was dying,
segmenting, Rap & "blazing r&b" was growing fast and dominating sales, and the industry was in another rut.

Thus I have always found 1991 to be of great interest, if only because it was very much the end of a long hit-worthy, if very safe, era.

Hmm, I don't remember any sudden drops by MC Hammer in 1991, but I do remember the 26-16-17 move of Gerardo's "We Want The Funk". It made an even more bizarre move over those three weeks on R&R (22-14-20). The week it took such a big leap, the lower half of the Top 20 was very soft (since there were many entries in the Top 20 that week on both charts). But then, the competition got tough again right away (with all those entries) and that could explain the weird movement of the Gerardo song.

Although I wasn't listening to AT40 the week it happened, I do recall Shadoe Stevens bringing that up the next time it happened. It was in May or June of 1990 when "Always And Forever" by Whistle hit the Top 40, fell out, and re-entered. Today, that kind of thing is pretty common.

[DuckHead]

I've been looking over some 70s chart (for my website) and I found a weird run: "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. After it hit # 1, it went 1-2-6-2-2-2-2-2-13-13-26.

It rebounded from # 6 back to # 2, stayed there for 5 weeks, plumeted down to # 13, stabilized there for 2 weeks, then plunged to 13 then 26. Pretty weird.

Thanks to it's long stay at # 2, it racked up enough points to come in as the # 2 song of the year on the Pop Radio Top 20 (it lost out to "Le Freak" by Chic by 7 points).

[stevie nice]

lol i just saw the censorship here for w**gly after i posted something in foreigner thread.

anyway, there was a novelty song in the 60's called "they're coming to take me away" by napoleon xiv or some such roman numeral, that went to #3 and spent 6 weeks in the hot 100. i think song was banned from radio leading to its fast drop off charts, and my bb books are still packed but let me see what it did on cashbox, because i have a link for their charts. (5 minutes later)

this is a hot 100 chart run btw:

20-1-2-2-4-13-30


pretty fascinating because cashbox was sales based i believe, as opposed to radio reports.

btw, if u are interested in cashbox charts, the link is  members.aol.com/_ht_a/randypny/cashbox/19660910.html


they stopped in the mid 90s or so. i wish they would have books of the original charts like BB does, but they are hard to find, i used to speak to this guy, randy price, who is responsible for this site, in the 70s music newsgroup on usenet. he used to post a chart a week and they were/are fun to look at next to BB.

besides some of the things mentioned here already, the BTO thing i remember well, and the thing with sweet home alabama was i think it fell in one week from 8-44. it didnt reenter the top 40. there were as mentioned, probably the most fascinating thing about the charts, the songs that fell from 1-12 to 1-15 in several consecutive weeks, because stations used to removed songs entirely from their charts after they peaked. so 50 stations removing a #1 song the next week off their top 40 created lots of lost points.

some thing else i remember but don't have books on hand, i thing paul mccartney and wings moved 23-2 in one week with the james bond movie theme "live and let die" and it never reached #1.

the stones had a double sided hit in 1976 called fool to cry/hot stuff, in fools last week on the chart, not sure when they listed it as a double side, it was 10, the next week the single was at #66, and hot stuff was the main track listed.

there are millions more, especially 1979-1980s period which was mentioned, where songs fell from mid 20s to 70s-80s even nineties in the following week. songs in the sixties regularly feel off the charts from mid 30s or so, i mean major hits, and i wonder if BB had some type of policy back then like what R&R has now, 3 or 4 successive weeks of drops and removal.

charts were really fun to watch back then.

[stevie nice]

as an aside, i used to love BTO and just ordered the Not Fragile album on amazon.com and should be getting it tomorrow. it had the track "Free Wheelin'" which was the flip to "You Ain't Seen..." and this I didn't know, was a tribute to which Allman Brother that died? was it Duane? it was a tribute to him.

I doubt many posters here are familiar with much BTO, maybe the older folks like Irock, and me and any one else can remember this band, just mindnumbing numbskull guitar riffs, and lots of their album material was better than their 2 major hits TCOB and YASNY. I really did for a while like these slow plodding chunky guitar riffs, from Bad Co as well.

[Hervard]

On the Hot 100, the chart run for "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Haaa" was like so:

60-11-5-3-5-37-off.

Funny someone mentioned that, because we were talking about weird chart runs on the AT40 chat room last night and I talked about that song, since it holds the record for the biggest drop in the Top 40 (too bad it happened before AT40).

The song was banned from many radio stations because it was not politically correct.

[stevie nice]

the flip side of the single is the song backwards.

Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough" had a similar jump in 2000 without hitting #1. (She was blocked by "Maria Maria")

[mst3k]

Good memory stevie... just to clarify the exact positions for ya:

21-3, but yeah, it did then proceed to stall at #2 for three weeks (behind two different #1 songs!).

the stones had a double sided hit in 1976 called fool to cry/hot stuff, in fools last week on the chart, not sure when they listed it as a double side, it was 10, the next week the single was at #66, and hot stuff was the main track listed.

"Fool To Cry" (with no B-side listed) fell from 10-21... the following week it "dropped off" the chart, with "Hot Stuff/Fool To Cry" (same single catalog #) being listed as a New Entry at #63 (it then moved 63-53-53-49-96-89-off).

[johnnywest]

I recall "Doctor Doctor" by the Thompson Twins taking a terrible tumble down the chart. It went from something like #10 to #47 in one week.

[johnnywest]

I was taken aback when I saw Billboard's online chart Thursday. Not only were there several gold and platinum singles (presumably under the same rule of 500,000 and 1 million copies?), but the numbers in "last week's" column did not match what was actually printed in Billboard the week before.

I HATE it when they do that.

That's because of the new chart methodology which came into effect with this week's chart. The numbers in the "last week" column show what the positions would have been last week had digiital downloads been considered. I guess that's Billboard's policy whenever they make major chart changes. I guess it makes sense.

And the gold and platinum certifications are regarding downloads.

Another Billboard notorious act was when they were flip-flopping the pages that contained the Billboard Hot 100 and the Pop 100. WTF?

And after "Rush Rush" spent 6 weeks on top, Bryan Adams spent 7 with "I Do It For You"!

"Voices That Care" never got CHR airplay? Wow. I thought I remembered that song on the local top 40s at the time.

There were also some interesting drops that would be unheard of today. I don't know if they were that out of character for the 80's and early 90's though. I recall "Fading Like A Flower" dropping from 2 to 11. I think there was a song or two that dropped 1-6 or 1-7 as well... "I Don't Wanna Cry" maybe?

[Hervard]

"Voices That Care" did too get Top 40 airplay. It reached #25 on the R&R chart. OK, so it didn't quite equal the sales (as the song hit #11 on Billboard, so it must have been Top Ten in sales).

They recorded that song in early March, 1991, not knowing that the war would end in less than a week. If the war had lasted longer, the song would have probably hit number one, but it charted after the fact, which is why it didn't do any better (but I'd rather have the war end early than for the song to do well!)

Also, the Rude Boys' "Written All Over Your Face" and Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" did hit the Top 40, too.

There was one song that hit #17 on BB, but didn't chart at all on R&R, "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J. I found that weird, since most songs that hit the top 20 on BB usually made the R&R chart, even if just barely. I believe DJ Jazzy Jeff's remake of "Ring My Bell" hit #20 on Billboard, but was a no-show on R&R.

Yeah, 1989 was an odd chart year, as was 1991. But 1990 was a little more normal. The only weird BB chart episodes that year were "Always & Forever" by Whistle re-entering the chart and "Epic" by Faith No More hitting the Top Ten, dropping out, then re-entering the Top Ten. Both chart occurrences hadn'h happened since the 1970s. Oddly enough, "Knockin' Boots" by Candyman moved back into the top ten a few weeks later. Other than that, I can't think of anything else.

I never would have guessed "Mama Said Knock You Out" didn't hit R&R.  It was definitely played at night on my local CHR.

Was I right about the droppers, from 2-11 and 1-6 or 1-7?

Close. Here's the top ten run for "I Don't Wanna Cry": 10-8-8-1-1-4-6-9. Not really a big drop, but interesting that it jumped to #1 after being stuck for two weeks at #8.

And "Fading Like A Flower" took a bigger dive than you remembered. It climbed from #4 to #2, and then plummeted to #15. Made me mad, since that's still my favorite Roxette song.
