The Bee Gees "One"

For a group that tore up the charts in the '70s, the 1980s weren't as kind to The Bee Gees. Their one bright spot happened in 1989 when "One" returned the brothers to the Top 40. "One" peaked at #7 on the Hot 100 and even spent two weeks atop the Adult Contemporary Chart.

The Bee Gee's - "Alone"

Things you didn't expect to hear in 1997:

"Here's the new one from The Bee Gee's called 'Alone' on Z-107."

Indeed, "Alone" was the last US hit for The Bee Gee's which gave them their third consecutive decade with a Top 40 hit.

The Bee Gee's - "Paying The Price of Love"

The Bee Gee's were a little ahead of the times when they released "Paying the Price of Love" in 1993 (that's right, re-read that sentence again).  With a drum beat much like Elton John's "The Simple Life" and a synthesizer sound that Britney Spears would later use "...Baby One More Time", the song plugged along.  Internationally, "Paying The Price of Love" was a hit, but domestically the only stations to touch The Bee Gee's were Adult Contemporary radio stations.  Unfortunately, the result was a song that never broke through--charting only as high as #74 on the Hot 100.
