Bee Gees Greatest Hits – So many to choose from, we give you our ‘Top 10’.

The Bee Gees (Brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb) were one of the world’s most successful groups of all time. Renowned for their instantly recognizable voices they regularly changed their sound, the trio for decades continued to be hit makers, not only for themselves, but for other artists including Kelly Rowland, PJ Morton, Sia, Luther Vandross, Michael Bublé, Boyzone, and Take That.

Few mainstream goups have been so fortunate to define an era of music, not only once but incredibly twice.

Our Bee Gees Greatest Hits not only puts them as Rock, Folk and Pop sensations, but they themselves turned a nation into lovers of their music and sound while creating  us all into D.I.S.C.O. fans!

Racking up an incredible nine US Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles – more than any other group in history except for the Beatles (with 20) and the Supremes (12).

“Tragedy” reached No. 1 not only in the UK Charts but Canada, France, Italy and Spain. The following month No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song took “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor off the top spot in the US for two weeks.

Our second spot goes to that funky feel-good song, “Stayin’ Alive” a ‘full on’ disco sound written for the motion picture soundtrack Saturday Night Fever. Recognised as one of the greatest modern-day movie songs ever and one sure to get every age group singing along.

“Night Fever” shot up the US Billboard while still the Bee Gees had two other Saturday Night Fever soundtrack hits “How Deep is Your Love” and “Stayin’ Alive” still in the top ten.
