Which songs have most weeks in the charts?

One of the users asked "which songs spent the most weeks on the charts, whether they reached number one or not". If you just want to see the results without having to understand how we got them here they are:

This is a really interesting question. The first component of which is to clarify which charts, if one is just interested in the US and UK, for example, the obvious thing would be to obtain both those charts (see the Song Charts page for details of where to get them from) and do some simple calculations. Of course you have to take a view on how to weigh those two charts (are weeks in the official UK chart equivalent to weeks in Billboard?). The other curveball is the odd handling that Billboard does for songs that spend more than 20 weeks in the chart.

The fact that this user asked tsort.info this question suggests that they don't want to just look at a couple of national charts, they want to get an impression of which songs spent most weeks in the "charts of the world". So a simple bit of processing on a few "notable" charts isn't enough. We can just find each chart that notes the number of weeks and add them up, right? Well we can do that, of course some of our source charts have months noted, but for the sake of simplicity we can just multiply them by 4 to make the numbers about correct.

All time raw

When we do that we get the following results:

Which are an "interesting" selection of songs (something in there to aggravate almost anyone we feel). But there are a few things to note. First the total reflect the charts available, that have a note of duration, so the total is fairly meaningless, if we had twice the number of charts the total would be twice as big (the order could well be similar though). Second there is an emphasis on songs that were big in Europe, that's because each country in Europe has its own chart, so the US Billboard chart gets 52 weeks in the year and so does Belgium. Finally there are a lot of entries from the 2000s, because we have a lot of charts from the 2000s.

So taking all those into account can we make the results a bit less dependent on the particular charts we have included? Well for one thing we can aggregate charts by region. For various reasons it makes sense to group the charts available into four buckets: North America; Other English speaking countries; the rest of Europe; and everywhere else. The final group doesn't have enough charts in it, but here are the all-time results for the first three:
