@Chris N.: There's a "Bubbling Under" chart that tracks songs that are (theoretically) about to penetrate the big chart. However, as you can imagine, numerous songs end their lives there. Joel Whitburn, in his comprehensive Billboard chart archive books, even publishes peak positions over 100 for certain famous songs.

@Chris N.: It peaked at No. 2 on the "Bubbling Under" chart.

I have to call foul — I think it’s against the laws of physics to debut at No. 102 on the Hot 100.
