This is how you dominate the charts.
March 1978. 5 of the top 10 in the Billboard Hot 100 are either performed or written by the Bee Gees, including Andy Gibb.
Saturday Night Fever, a soundtrack album from the 1977, is one of the best-selling albums in history, and remains the second-biggest selling soundtrack of all time. 8 songs from the soundtrack album were either performed or written by the Bee Gees. In the US, the album was certified 16× Platinum for shipments of at least 16 million units. The album stayed at the top the album charts for 24 straight weeks from January to July 1978 and stayed on Billboard's album charts for 120 weeks until March 1980.
I have a connection to this album too, albeit a minor one. I was working for Polygram when this album's sales were just starting to wane. I moved a lot of pallets of this album on vinyl and cassette.
