Tragedy topped the charts

March 24, 1979
The Bee Gees’s single, Tragedy started a two week run at No. 1 on the US singles chart, the group’s eighth US No. 1, on this date. (Really sorry for the ear worm.)

The Gibb brothers wrote both Tragedy and Too Much Heaven (another American #1), in an afternoon off from making the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band movie in which they were starring. Then in the evening they wrote another American #1 single, Shadow Dancing for their brother Andy Gibb.
