This week, the first week of January, 2016, we will be looking at famous firsts in US Chart history!
We call it: "We're #1!"
January 8, 2016
Chubby Checker's one song going to number one twice in two separate years is very impressive.
What about having a song go to number one three times? In the same year? During the same run?
It has happened FOUR times, believe it or not, and one artist has had it happened twice.
The first time was in 1978.
"Le Freak" went to number one on December 9, 1978 and after being knocked out the next week by Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond for one week returned to the top spot for another two weeks.
If that wasn't enough after two weeks out of first thanks to the Bee Gees the song returned to the number one slot for ANOTHER two weeks!
The song spent 25 weeks total on the Hot 100 chart!
The triple #1 return was not matched until 2008 when it happened three more times!
"Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis, "Whatever You Like" by T.I. and "Live Your Life" by T.I. featuring Rihanna all repeated the feat!
That's it for the midday musical interludes for this week!
Monday we will have a new theme and more music to break up your work day!
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
