Which Bee Gees song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks in 1978?

The story behind the answer

Which Bee Gees song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks in 1978? The answer is “Night Fever.”

Written and performed by Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, “Night Fever” appeared on the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. It was released in the United States in January 1978 and quickly became one of the Bee Gees’ defining disco recordings.

The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for eight weeks, ultimately spending 13 weeks in the chart’s top 10. During its first five weeks at No. 1, another Bee Gees soundtrack song, “Stayin’ Alive,” held the No. 2 position.

A common mix-up is confusing “Night Fever” with “How Deep Is Your Love” or “Stayin’ Alive,” both major Bee Gees hits from Saturday Night Fever. “Night Fever” was also the group’s third of six consecutive U.S. No. 1 singles.
