Throwing back to the week of June 20, 1976, we find Wings holding on to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Silly Love Songs.’

In the #2 slot, where it peaked, was ‘Get Up and Boogie (That’s Right)’ by the German disco act Silver Convention. We last heard from Silver Convention when their song ‘Fly, Robin, Fly‘ topped the Hot 100 in early December of 1975. This single immediately followed that one, and was the last of their songs to get higher than #60 on the chart.

‘Fly, Robin, Fly‘ contained only six words, and ‘Get Up and Boogie (That’s Right)’ follows suit. This time, all six words made it into the title as well as the song’s verses.

That’s 11 total words between the two songs (they both share “up”). That has to be a record for total words in two top five hits by the same artist.

Old songs. Great memories.
