I believe Robin is requesting that we publish the actual Bubbling Under charts as they appeared in the original
publication(s). I don't see that happening any time soon.]]> Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:12:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63384&title=bubbling-under-book#63384 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63347&title=bubbling-under-book#63347 Author: EdisonLite

That would make a great book!

But if I understand correctly, all the bubbling info can be found in Record
Research books of the magazine in question (Cashbox, Record World,
Billboard, etc.) I'm not with my books right now, but all this info has been
published, right? Or is R&R the only missing this kind of info?]]> Mon, 31 Jul 2023 00:01:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63347&title=bubbling-under-book#63347 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63142&title=bubbling-under-book#63142 Author: RoknRobnLoxley

Well, Cash Box had a "looking ahead" chart, for up to positions 101-150, from 1959-82, and 1990-93. Record Research (RR) compiled these records in their book "Cash Box Looking Ahead 1959-93" = the usual records-by-artist book, not the charts themselves.

Go here to read all about it:

https://www.recordresearch.com/books/cash-box-looking-ahead- 1959-1993/

All the Cash Box bubblers 1954-82 are in the RR "Comparison Book 1954-82" as well. (There's also a RR Record World bubblers book "Hit Records #101-150 1959-82", this data also in the Comparison Book.)

It would be super groovy keen kool to get a RR 'charts themselves' book on all these #101-150 bubbler charts, Billboard, Cash Box, and Record World.

As an example: The 2/28/86 issue of R&R had 25 songs in the
significant action list, 3 of which didn't make the Hot 100
Bon Jovi's "Silent Night", Van Stephenson's "We're Doing
Alright" and Brian Setzer's "The Knife Feels Like Justice"

It's possible that these would have appeared on a Bubbling
Under chart if one was published that week

Dave -

the only thing analogous to the Bubbling Under that I can
think of from the time period comes from Radio & Records.
They published 2 additional lists with their CHR top 40 -
New & Active and Significant action - basically any song
that had 10 or more stations reporting a song (the former
being songs that had more stations than the latter). Many
songs (especially as CHR splintered) that appeared in the
significant action portion did not make the Hot 100.
Worldradiohistory.com is one place to access R&R.]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 06:58:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63140&title=bubbling-under-book#63140 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63138&title=bubbling-under-book#63138 Author: Paul Haney

Dave, welcome to the forum!

I've never seen an explanation for why Billboard discontinued the Bubbling Under chart in 1985. I do know
that shortly after Record Research released an updated Bubbling Under book in 1992, Billboard decided to
resurrect the chart.]]> Tue, 06 Jun 2023 03:56:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63138&title=bubbling-under-book#63138 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63129&title=bubbling-under-book#63129 Author: westofrome

Hi folks, I'm a new forum member, thanks for having me!

I've recently been working on playlists with songs from 80s
Billboard Hot 100 and Bubbling Under charts.

I'm curious - does anyone know why the Bubbling Under chart
was discontinued from mid 1985 until 1992? And is there an
analogous chart from another publication during this time?

Thanks,
Dave]]> Mon, 05 Jun 2023 06:51:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=63129&title=bubbling-under-book#63129 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=57501&title=bubbling-under-book#57501 Author: kingofskiffle

https://www.recordresearch.com/books/101-150-hit-records-195 9-1982/

Currently out of stock, but it does not actually list which did not make the
chart. I'm not sure if RR would do a re-print (Seems unlikely to be honest). If
they ever re-did it I'm sure that would be something worth adding in.

Part of me wishes I'd bought this when it was in stock but then I wish I had
more money to lavish on Record Research....]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 10:48:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=57501&title=bubbling-under-book#57501 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9490&PID=57500&title=bubbling-under-book#57500 Author: rnell
