A landmark pop-soul track for the iconic music duo Daryl Hall and John Oates, "Rich Girl" soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 on March 26, 1977, exactly 49 years ago to the day.
The massively successful, toe-tapping track was included on Hall and Oates' album Bigger Than Both of Us in September 1976, before it came out as a single in January 1977—the same month it debuted on the Hot 100.

It was followed by "Private Eyes" that same year, and later by "Maneater" and "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" in 1982 and "Out of Touch" in 1984.
At the end of 1977, "Rich Girl" was ranked at #23 on Billboard's Top 100 Hits of the year, and even almost a half of a century later, the timeless track still holds up. Just last month, over 49 years since it was first released, "Rich Girl" officially joined Spotify's Billions Club after surpassing one billion streams on the music streaming platform.
