to make no progress

[Unregistered]

Hello,

I'm writing about singles (songs) in a chart (like the Billboard chart).
I want to say that a certain song remained at the bottom of the chart for many weeks.
I was wondering if there's a verb in English that means "to make no progress" in the appropriate context (staying at the bottom of the chart).


Thanks a lot!!!

Isn't the pop industry expression, "It languished at the bottom of the charts for 4 weeks"?
Another way of saying it would be, "It remained stalled at the bottom of the charts for 6 weeks."

You can also use the word "stuck", which is the past tense and past participle of the verb "stick", and also is an adjective. (like a car stuck in the mud)
The song (has been)(had been)(was)(remained) stuck at the bottom of the chart for many weeks. I would recommend this use as an adjective, rather than as a verb.
Thanks a lot!!!
