Jody, I think Jeff sums it up nicely by saying the charts represent a snapshot of what is popular that week. I think we, as collectors and chart enthusiasts, often times like to compare old charts to new charts, but it's always going to be apples to oranges. The charts simply rank what is most popular in a given week but do not give you actual numbers. They don't tell you how many copies of a song have been sold (unless certified Gold or Platinum), nor do they tell you how many spins/streams a song is getting. Without knowing those numbers, I don't know one would ever truly reach an accurate conclusion when comparing two songs based solely on peak position and number of weeks on the chart.
I do, however, still think that the number of weeks can be a good indication of "fly by night" hits. Even if a song makes the top 10 but only stays on the chart for a few weeks, that to me is an indication that it didn't truly reach "massive hit" status.

The database currently states "commercial copies all run
(5:45)". As far as I have been able to ascertain, the only
commercial single format issued in the US was a twelve-inch
vinyl single which, according to Discogs, contains six
versions of the song.
As Aaron stated eight years ago, the 'LP Radio Edit' on the
promo CD is an early fade of the LP version.
The LP version and the Hitman's Club Mix both run about
5:45-5:46. The version of "My Boo" on the digital So So
Def Bass All Stars album is erroneously described (at
least on iTunes) as the Hitman's Club Mix. It is in fact the
LP version. The stand-alone single currently on iTunes is
similarly misidentified as the Hitman's Club Mix.
