It’s been decades since any new music was shared by the Bee Gees. The pop band dominated the charts throughout the late ‘60s and ‘70s with a slew of memorable smashes. Some of those tunes are still popular to this day, as they’re simply too catchy to ignore.
This week, the brotherly band is back on the Billboard charts in America. They find their way back to one ranking and rise on another with the same hit, which has stood the test of time.
“Stayin’ Alive” returns to the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart this frame. The smash nearly breaks back into the top 10, as it reappears at No. 11 on Billboard’s ranking of the bestselling tracks classified as either dance or electronic when it comes to genre.
In the past, “Stayin’ Alive” has ruled the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart–for two frames, in fact. The tune remains the only No. 1 for the Bee Gees on this one ranking. The group has broken into the top 10 with five tunes, which happens to be the entirety of their appearances on the tally.
“Stayin’ Alive” is also climbing on another chart, though it doesn’t return…but only because it was already carving out space on the list last frame. The ‘70s blockbuster single jumps from No. 17 to No. 15 on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs ranking.
The Bee Gees haven’t yet pushed this cut to No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs ranking. “Stayin’ Alive” has climbed as high as No. 6 in the past. It’s their loftiest placement on this specific tally, and it’s one of only two tracks that have reached the roster. The other, “More Than a Woman,” stalled at No. 8.
“Stayin’ Alive” was released as a single from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977. The tune bolted to the summit of the Hot 100, where it ruled for two weeks. Its success helped the full-length become a gargantuan bestseller, and it played a part in the title eventually winning Album of the Year at the Grammys.
