02.11.1968 : Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley P.T.A. (5 weeks # 1) http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0000/186/MI0000186961.jpg EOfrnrDLdSY "Harper Valley PTA" is a country song written by Tom T. Hall that was a major international hit single for country singer Jeannie C. Riley in 1968. Riley's record sold over six million copies as a single. The song made Riley the first woman to top both Billboard's Hot 100 and the U.S. country single's charts with the same song, a feat that would go unrepeated until Dolly Parton's "9 to 5 " in 1981. The song tells the story of Mrs. Johnson, a widowed mother of a teenage girl, who becomes outraged when one afternoon her daughter brings home a note from her junior high school's PTA decrying Mrs. Johnson's supposedly scandalous behavior by small-town standards, which, according to the PTA, is setting a bad example for her daughter. In response, Mrs. Johnson attends the next PTA meeting (being held that same afternoon), wearing a miniskirt, to the surprise of the PTA members. She then exposes various episodes of misbehavior and indiscretion on the part of several members of the PTA, concluding with, "This is just a little Peyton Place / And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites." Jeannie C. Riley's recording of the song won her a Grammy for the Best Country Vocal Performance, Female. Her recording was also nominated for "Record of the Year" and "Song of the Year" in the pop field. Riley recorded a sequel song, "Return To Harper Valley", in 1984 (also written by Hall) but was not a commercial success. In the sequel, Riley sings as Ms. Johnson (instead of her daughter as in the original). After purchasing a ticket to the high school dance (with the winner receiving a Stray Cats album) she decided to attend. This time she decided to wear a full-length dress and mentions how some folks changed, some for the good (Bobby Taylor, who repeatedly asked her for dates, was now paying attention to his wife) and others for the bad (Mr. Kelly never stopped his alcohol abuse and died from cirrhosis as a result). However, she noticed prevalent substance abuse among the youth, and initially decided to get a gun, but decided to pray instead. After remembering her own wild behavior, she decides to attend the PTA meeting the following day and share her concerns.

Impressive 21 weeks at # 1 for Middle Of The Road. The same number of # 1 weeks for "Those Were The Days" with my chart. I prefer Beautiful South and Anita Harris' versions of "Dream A Little Dream". Based on Retro favourite thread from UK charts (without many my favourite ABBA singles) : "Waterloo" is the most successful ABBA single with 9 weeks at the top. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" have six # 1 weeks, "Dancing Queen" was # 1 for 5 weeks. "The Winner Takes It All" could have more than five, but was released in very short period with 2 my ultimate favourite classics : Sue Wilkinson "You Gotta Be A Hustler If You Wanna Get On" (which still only one song with 10 weeks at 1 after 35 years of my retrospective) and "Woman In Love". If I wouldn't count retro songs in my current charts, that some songs from last 3-4 years will have very long #1 runs : everything from Heidi Range, "Bubblegum Bitch" and Eurovision favorites from 2012, 2013, 2014 ("Beautiful Song", "Marry Me", "Undo")

I didn't heard the original before, only Vic Reeves' cover. :) John, which songs have nine and more weeks at the top of your personal charts ? I know only about "Dancing Queen".

Is it only sales based or with streaming crap ?
