Given that it was played for so long, there is a backlash of sorts against Boone's song but it cannot be denied that it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks in late 1977.

"Into the Groove" by Madonna was the giveaway...it was all over radio and went gold as a 12" single but didn't make the Hot 100 since there was no 7", and I guess it would have been embarassing to have it show up near the top of their airplay list.
