i was just wondering if anyone knew boney m's chart positions for mary's boy child.

 

it did over a million copies in v short chart career!!! 8 weeks on chart but didnt go straight in at 1. what was it selling per week in its chart career anyone know? must have been loads

 

rivers of babylon did over a million but that had 40 weeks on chart

 

 

1.

1.

 

erm, was actually thinking week by week. if it was at number one for 4 weeks and didnt chart at number one it must have disappeared from the chart like gnarls barkley or nelly f's maneater or plummeted as bad as mcfly's number ones.

 

those 4 weeks at number one it must have sold shedloads

oh... hold on

 

7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 7, 32.

oh... hold on

 

7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 7, 32.

did have a look in the book and on wiki, this is what it says on wiki:

 

Mary's Boy Child" is a 1956 Christmas song, written by Jester Hairston.

 

It was first recorded by Harry Belafonte in 1956 and became a hit on RCA Victor 20-6735(78rpm) / 47-6735(45rpm). In 1962 Belafonte re-recorded a longer version and this was added to the previously released RCA Victor album "To Wish You A Merry Christmas". The song was also recorded by Mahalia Jackson in 1956 but titled as "Mary's Little Boy Chile" on Columbia 40777(78rpm) / 4-40777(45rpm). It has also been recorded by The Brothers Four, Greg MacDonald, The Merrymen, Jim Reeves, Boney M, Harry Connick Jr, Jan Malmsjö, Kikki Danielsson, Nina and Frederik and Tommy Körberg and many others.
