Foolish Games on the Hot 100

In 1997 Foolish Games became the A side of Jules single that had debuted 42 weeks earlier. In effect this A side B side flip-flop combined two separate top 10 hits into one mega chart run. The combo single stayed on the chart through February 1998. Finally falling off after a crazy 65 weeks then the longest run in hot 100 history. This is the Roger Maris asterisk of Billboard chart feeds. It's not only strange but probably inaccurate to call anything an A side or a B side in the 21st century.
