with Sup 75, you had a rather schizophrenic array of songs charting on 1 regional [[given, a big region of stores) store chart listing.
With IGLMHDTW it was much more focused
one interesting note with the disco charts is that sometimes it just lists an entire lp - like Donna Summer Seasons of Love or DR The Boss. that means that djs were using pretty much all of the tracks on the album.
also, by this time the charts were expanding to include LA/San Diego audience response and some other markets.
Walking was released in March and then did nothing on the charts until very late April. It was co-listed with HE first on the Melody Shop Store charts in Brooklyn, LI and Queens.
The next week it lists at the HE full lp. then pretty much just goes to IGLMH.
unlike any of the Sup 75 tracks, Walking broke out into other markets across the country, based on audience response in clubs.
LA and San Diego - peaked at #5 and charted for 14 straight weeks.
NYC peaked at #3 and charted for 13 weeks
Boston, DC, toronto - these other cities only appeared occasionally in Billboard, not every week. so we can't tell the duration of charting or how it did overall. but was listed in each city.
other NYC stores - unlike Sup 75, Walking also charted in some of the other big regional stores around NYC besides Melody.
oddly enough, there are no listings for Walking in San Fran!! not sure where all our dancing queens were! lol but nothing
