About the Song
"Stayin' Alive" was released in December 1977 by RSO Records as the second single from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Its B-side was "If I Can't Have You". The song was not originally scheduled for release as a single — fans who heard it in the film's trailers called radio stations and RSO Records, and the single followed in mid-December, a month after the soundtrack album.
The song plays over the opening credits of Saturday Night Fever (1977), starring John Travolta. It reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the week of February 4, 1978, staying there for four consecutive weeks, with 27 weeks in total on the Hot 100. It was the second of the Bee Gees' six consecutive US No. 1 singles, a run that tied the Beatles' record for most consecutive US No. 1s at the time — a mark later broken by Whitney Houston with seven. In February 1979, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices.
