The origin of the single was the Netherlands where numerous bootleg disco singles were floating around, most importantly Alto Passion's "Let's Do It In The 80's Great Hits". The next week, the Kim Carnes song regained its number 1 status for an additional four weeks. In the US, the song's one-week stay at the top of the Hot 100 interrupted " Bette Davis Eyes"s run as the number 1 single at five weeks. In the US, the single also peaked at number 18 on the dance chart. It reached number 1 in the Netherlands on Februnumber 2 in the UK on and number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 20, 1981. The reason for the long title was copyright requirements for the use of The Beatles' songs. The length of the name surpassed the previous record set by Ray Stevens's " Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills", and (among songs that reached number one), " (Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song" by B. It is (to date) the longest titled song to ever chart in Billboard and was conveniently shortened to "Stars on 45 Medley", or "'Medley' by Stars on 45". Its official title in the US and Canada (as on the record and in Billboard and RPM) is "Medley: Intro ' Venus' / Sugar Sugar / No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want to Know a Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going to Lose That Girl / Stars on 45" and was credited to 'Stars on 45'. In some countries, including the UK, Ireland, and New Zealand, the band was credited as 'Starsound' and only the medley itself was named "Stars on 45". " Stars on 45" is a song medley issued in January 1981 by Dutch studio group Stars on 45.
