Is 41 weeks the smallest number of weeks for an oldest song? Obviously not ever but probably the lowest number in years, right?

[Gary]

40 weeks was actually the record for longest chart run until the early 80s

I think this might be the last week with the longest charting song being less than 41 weeks... almost three years ago

[nathanalbright]

I keep this up week to week and it makes it easy to see what the trends are. I see As It Was, Something In The Orange, and You Proof staying around for a while, so I don't know when the next time we will see this young of songs given recent longevity trends.

[mms82]

Appreciate it!! This would have been a near impossible stat to find without you keeping track like this each week :)
