I think this is the first bubbling under you have posted with a future #1 song in it.

I was thinking so too at first, but thought I posted another earlier. I did some sleuthing and found the other one. "Baby Come to Me" was a future number 1. The song had two runs: Apr 12, 2023

"Red Red Wine" hit #1 on it's second run in 1988 too.

Stuff like this reinforces my obsession with the bubbles. :)
 
Billboard's "Bubbling Under The Hot 100"" chart debuted in the issue dated June 1, 1959. There were 15 songs. The number has varied over the years. The smallest chart, October 16 1971, had only five songs. The largest, April 6 1963 and May 25 1968, had 36 songs. Prior to the introduction of the Bubbling Under chart, Billboard would list two to five songs each week as "Recent Pop Releases Coming Up Strong."

Mister sadchild, Billboard did not publish a Bubbling Under chart in the issues from August 31 1985 to November 28 1992. Since December 5 1992 when the chart resumed, it has used point-of-sale data provided by SoundScan and radio airplay monitored by Broadcast Data Systems.

The songs that spent the most weeks on the Bubbling Under chart without ever making the Hot 100 are Alive by Pearl Jam (61 weeks, 1996-97), Even Flow by Pearl Jam (52 weeks, 1997) and Think About You by Luther Vandross (43 weeks, 2004). The Pearl Jam songs reached #16 and #3, respectively, on the mainstream rock chart and Think About You got to #29 on the R&B chart.
