FV/4S have charted Billboard again.

The following decades have seen them charted on Billboard.

50s
60s
70s
80s
90s
2000s
2010s

No one has ever done this in Billboard's history.

No matter what any member's past may have been, this is still one hell of a record.

Additionally: The Jersey Boys stage show.
On the Cast Albums chart, the set jumps 7-3, marking its best rank this year; on the chart since 2006, it's spent an astounding 78 weeks at No. 1.

They did it again. Yep another #1 song (in the UK), The Night made their top recently. Yet another charted song.
Initially, this song was released in the US back in the late 80s and flopped. It was re-released in the UK.

Mikey.... If FV & the FS had been from, say, Wisconsin or Nebraska rather than New Jersey... Would you have given a rat's ass about them?

I used to work in radio. We ignored Bilboard and used Radio & Record to program.

if FV and the FS had been from GA, we would have all been more amazed at their talent and success.

Actually, Phil, I went to school and worked with his relatives. So, my liking them is more on a personal level. Plus, my older cousins were friends with Frankie.

So that's a way of saying... "If I didn't have a connection to their families and they hadn't been from Joyzee, fuck 'em."

You have to admit, Frankie Valli has a great vocal range. The group had some of the best harmonic songs.

Plus, the original guys were all Italian!!!!!

Simple, they are Italian jure sanguinis.

I'm with you Mike. FV4S were a very good group.
