The longest running Styx song on the charts would be....
SHOW ME THE WAY....ran for 23 weeks on the top 100 beginning 12/9/90, peaking at #3 on 3/16/1991.
COME SAIL AWAY......ran for 22 weeks on the top 100 beginning 9/24/77 (by the way it took CSA a crazy 4 months to reach its peak on 1/28/78!! Talk about a slow rise to the top). My other question on this was, if the album was released on 7/7/77, what were they doing for 2 1/2 months before releasing the first single?
And the longest running Styx song ever on any chart....
SHOW ME THE WAY ran for an incredible 31 weeks on the Adult Contemporary Chart, peaking at #3 on that chart as well on 3/2/91. In other words it was on the charts from 12/8/1990 through July 4th of the following year...what a chart run!!!
