Actually, the oldest song on the chart would be "Truly Madly Deeply".

Yes, you are absolutely right in terms of total age. I was going along the lines of most weeks on the sans recurrent chart... but I guess that this not a great stat to include because we don't know what the sans recurrent chart looked like in the past.

I remember how upset I was in the summer of 1996 when I saw that R&R had put their recurrent rule into effect. I had been fearing that move ever since Billboard started doing it in 1991. I wasn't following the AC chart at the time, but I do remember that "Missing" was yanked from the pop chart. Anyway, judging from the list above, I'm very thankful for the recurrent rule. :)
