Having your song top the charts is a dream come true for any artist out there. To be recognized and have your music played over and over again is just what every other artist wants.
Which hit song has stayed in the number-one spot the longest?
Frankie Laine’s I believe has stayed in the number one spot the longest, staying at the top for 18 weeks straight.
Frankie Laine was an American singer, songwriter, and actor whose career spanned nearly 75 years, from his first concerts in 1930 with a marathon dance company to his final performance of “That’s My Desire” in 2005.
Frankie Laine was born on March 30, 1913, in Chicago, Illinois, United States. He died on February 6, 2007, in Scripps Mercy Hospital with the cause being cardiovascular disease at the age of 93.
Frankie Liane scored his first ever UK Number 1 in April 1953, just after his 40th birthday, notching up nine weeks at the summit, after a week at Number 2, he went back up to spend a further six at the top. But it wasn’t over yet.
