Does anyone know the name of the Record Research book for Bubbling under the Billboard Hot 100? I have the other Bubbling Under books (Cashbox, Record World), but never bought this one unfortunately. If I can know the title, I can at least try to find it - though it's probably very expensive, being long out of print.

Paul H - any chance this is one of those books like your Disco/Dance book that you still keep in print, by printing about 5 books at a time? I'd sure like to buy this Bubbling Under book!

The last edition I know of was simply called "Bubbling Under The Billboard Hot 100 1959-2004". I think every edition of "Top Pop Singles" since that time has included the Bubbling Under songs.

Dan is correct. All the Billboard Bubbling Under data has been incorporated into both the Top Pop Singles and Pop Annual
books.

BTW, the Bubbling Under album data was also incorporated into the Top Pop Albums book.

I've been looking at the Bubbling Under sections in the Billboard Annual book. It seems there were no bubbling under charts for the years 1986-1991 at all. Is that correct?

And was the Bubbling Under chart strictly 10 positions for the years of 1974 through 1985?

Billboard stopped the chart in August 1985 and began it again in
November 1992. From about 1974 to 1985 it was a Top 10 (I say about
as the size fluctuated up to that point). From its return to today it is a
Top 25.

An interesting little sidebar story...

One of the first books I worked on at Record Research in 1992 was the Bubbling Under book. We released it in the
summer of 1992 and it sold very well. Lo and behold, starting with the issue dated December 5, 1992, Billboard
resurrected the chart! Coincidence?!?

I have that book Paul, and the sequel with the EP and Album Bubbling
in. An excellent book, and I really like the section at the end of the
1992 edition of the history of those that Bubbled that went on to make
the main chart.

I always loved Record World's 101-150 chart which I
understand was published until magazine was stopped
being published in 1982. Is there a list of songs which
made this chart only, available anywhere?

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....
