Whoever coined the phrase "Disco sucks" deserves a whack upside the head with Mythology, the new box set from the iconic trio of Gibb brothers. Here's a look at the stats behind the four-CD collection.
52: Years Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb have been performing together
120 million: Albums they've sold worldwide
81: Songs collected here
61: Number that were written or cowritten by Barry
33%: Portion of songs Barry selected that feature no falsetto vocals
8: Number of songs with love in the title
3: Number with titles that sound like amazing sci-fi novels ("Rings Around the Moon," "Barker of the UFO," "Omega Man")
$15 million: The band's earnings in 1977, the year Saturday Night Fever came out
23: Number of famous fans who gush in the liner notes, including Elton John ("brilliant"), Brian Wilson ("powerful"), Céline Dion ("amazing"), Billy Corgan ("beautiful"), and Taylor Swift ("legendary")
