In 2013 it re-entered - at No.1 - as a Download. It was its 12th Chart Week. 'Unchained Melody' - Righteous Brothers. Their cover of the 1955 Hit was a No.14 Hit in 1965. It spent 12 Weeks on the Chart. In 1990 it was re-issued due to featuring in 'Ghost'. It re-entered at No.3. It was No.1 the next Week. It was its 14th Chart Week - 12 in 1965 + the first 2 of its 1990 Weeks. '(Is This The Way To) Amarillo?' - Tony Christie. It spent 13 Weeks on the Chart between 1971 & 1972. It Peaked at No.18 in early 1972. In 2005 it re-entered at No.1. It was its 14th Chart Week. (Although the 2005 No.1 'Features Peter Kay', he only mimes in the Video. The actual No.1 is exactly the same recording as it was in 1971/1972. Amarillo is a real Town in Texas. It means Yellow in Spanish). 'Imagine' - John Lennon. A No.6 Hit in 1975, & 11 Chart Weeks. When he died in late 1980, it re-entered at No.9, & was No.1 in early 1981. It was its 3rd Week into its 1980/1981 re-entry & its 14th Chart Week. (It had actually been a USA No.3 Hit in 1971. For some reason it did not become a UK Single until 1975). Young At Heart - The Bluebells. A No.8 Hit in 1984 - 12 Chart Weeks. No.1 in its 2nd Chart Week, as a 1993 Re-Issue. It was its 14th Chart Week. This post has been edited by zeus555: 3rd November 2014, 04:46 PM
