ok - as most of you probably know from other posts, i've been going through Billboard charts and tracking all Sup and DR releases week by week to get a full view of the chart performance of the singles and albums. I'm up to 1974 now so won't be including any of the Scherrie releases in this discussion just yet

i've already posted about some of the top ones like which albums were on the charts the longest [[Where did our love go and GH), how long most of the #1s were in the Top 10, etc

now for the bottom dwellers lol

there are sort of two ways to define things - top 100 and then the "bubbling under" rankings, which seem to cover ranks 101 - 120 or so. the Bubbling ranks didn't always seem to be published so i don't always have that info

of the songs that actually charted in the Top 100, two tie for the shortest run:

Run Run Run [[1 week)
Bad Weather [[1 week - although BW did spend many weeks in the Bubbling section)

shortest time on chart if you include the Bubbling ranks

My heart can't take it - 2 weeks
Touch - 4 weeks
The weight - 5 weeks
young folks - 6 weeks

Biggest drop from peak chart position [[across all singles through 73)
Forever came today - dropped 16 ranks from peak of 28
The Weight - 24 from a peak of 46

most time in the Bubbling Under category
Bad Weather - 13 weeks
let me go the right way - 7 weeks
Your heart belongs to me - 6 weeks
