Very odd! How does that happen. It violates the entire reason the chart exists.

The chart lists the top songs that have not yet charted on the main Billboard Hot 100.
I completely agree. It shouldn't have bubbled under after charting. Also, they didn't flag it as a re-entry, but the number of weeks was correct. I'll be on the lookout to see if this occurs again.

I liked it back in the day. Now I like it simply based on nostalgia.

Eastern Airlines thanked me for flying United! [No respect, no respect.]

I called Suicide Prevention, they put me on hold! [No respect, no respect.]
I agree. It was a fun song for kids. I was looking at MTV Video Programming around this time and they added this into their rotation.

7: EVERYBODY HAVE FUN TONIGHT - WANG CHUNG

"Everybody stay safe tonight"...?? Why are they playing the 2020 remake??


1: THE NEXT TIME I FALL - PETER CETERA WITH AMY GRANT

All three of us picked this one. I'm glad I had to disqualify "You Give Love A Bad Name" because I was leaning toward that one originally. I thought "Next Time I Fall" came a couple weeks later than now. Lucky me!

Only two songs from #41 to #62 that won't get into the 40, wow!

Will not get into the top 40
#43 Freddie Jackson "Tasty Love"
#53 Stacy Lattisaw "Nail It To The Wall"
#63 Jesse Johnson & Sly Stone "Crazay"
#64 Police "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86"
#66 Commodores "Goin' To The Bank"

#81 Paul McCartney "Stranglehold"
#83 Rod Stewart "Every Beat Of My Heart"
#85 David Lee Roth "That's Life"

Since the Bubbling Under was discontinued at this time, I decided to analyze the MTV Programming list for this week. The first list are the videos in MTV Heavy Rotation and I found their Hot 100 positions for the week (placed in parenthesis). The second list the Top 10 for this week with their corresponding Rotation on MTV.

MTV Heavy Rotation - Billboard 12/6/86
"Walk Like An Egyptian" Bangles (#5 this week)
"Nobody's Fool" Cinderella (#67 this week)
"The Way It Is" Bruce Hornsby and the Range (#4 this week)
"To Be A Lover" Billy Idol (#10 this week)
"Stand by Me" Ben E. King (#13 this week)
"Open your Heart" Madonna (#51 this week - first week on the chart)
"C'est La Vie" Robbie Nevil (#17 this week)
"Don't Get Me Wrong" Pretender (#16 this week)
"Every Beat of My Heart" Rob Stewart (#83 this week)
"Is This Love" Survivor (#23 this week)
"Wild Wild Life" Talking Heads (#25 this week)
"Somebody's Out There" Triumph (#95 this week, peaked at 27 on 11/6/86)
"Best of Both Worlds" Van Halen (didn't chart, peaked at #12 Rock)
"Everybody Have Fun" Wang Chung (#7 this week)

Top 10 Rotation Position:
10: To Be A Lover - Billy Idol (Heavy Rotation)
9: Love Will Conquer All - Lionel Richie (Not on Rotation List)
8: Human - Human League (Not in Rotation)
7: Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung (Heavy Rotation)
6: Word Up - Cameo (Light Rotation)
5: Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles (Heavy Rotation)
4: The Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby & The Range (Heavy Rotation)
3: Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis & The News (Sneak Preview Videos)
2: You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi (Not on Rotation List)
1: The Next Time I Fall - Peter Cetera With Amy Grant (Not on Rotation List)

Comments:
  • I thought the Heavy Rotation list would mirror the Top 10 more. The positions are spread out on the 100. Also, I'm not sure if the list was generated for this week or was from a prior week. I didn't see a date.
  • I was surprised by a few videos that were not in rotation. I found this disclaimer on the list: "This report does not include videos in recurrent or oldie rotation." Some may have been played, but sparingly.
