Oh-Oh-Oh, not to forget this one: With a little help from my friends! Originally an album track written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, it was recorded by several artists and got to No. 1 in the UK in 3 different versions: 1. 1968 Joe Cocker (1 week) 2. 1988 Wet Wet Wet (4 weeks) 3. 2004 Sam & Mark (1 week) Maybe a future contender to equalize Unchained Melody (4 versions at No.1). Another contender: Spirit in the sky, No.1 for Norman Greenbaum in 1970 (the original), Doctor & the Medics in 1986 and Gareth Gates & the Kumars in 2003.

Another interesting example is the song Seasons in the sun, a worldwide No.1-smash for Terry Jacks in 1974. But it was written by Jacques Brel in 1961 (called Le Moribond) and was recorded and released in English two years later by the Kingston Trio, again in 1968 by The Fortunes. It was a UK-No.1 in 1974 for Terry Jacks and his version was covered by Westlife in 1999, another No.1 for them and the second time for the song itself.

And also their second UK-No.1-song (and second million seller!) Mary's boy child was a cover version, this time of Harry Belafontes UK-No.1 from 1957! An example for a song brought to No.1 in two different versions and two different artists respectively.

A very "massive" example is Rivers of Babylon, Boney M.s most significant song but originally written and performed by The Melodians in 1969/70. I didn't know that for many years.

Some examples from the good old days: August 1973: "Yesterday once more" from The Carpenters was blocked by Gary Glitters "The leader of the gang (I am)" for one week and by Donny Osmonds "Young love" for another week. December 1983: Paul Youngs "Love of the common people" was blocked by "Uptown Girl" (Billy Joel, 1 week) and by "Only you" (Flying Picketts, 2 weeks). March 1990: "Love Shack" from The B-52's was blocked by Beats Internationals "Dub be good to me" (1 week) and for another 2 weeks by Snaps "The Power". Three fine tunes!! August 1990: DNA and Suzanne Vegas big hit "Tom's Diner" was blocked for 2 weeks by "Turtle Power" (Partners in Kryme) and by Bombalurinas "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" (for 1 week). It would have been the better No.1...

REALLY? I liked "Suus" a lot, but "Love is blind" was so poor, sorry... :)

Glorious/CR/German charts: 36 06 23 29 43 52 55 61 82 94 97 out (113). Not that... enthusiastic. Maybe they will climb back in the middle regions of the charts if they reach a moderate position inside the top 10 on Saturday.
