What is the current number of song on the popular music chart
The first song by The Beatles to reach number one in the UK chart is 'I want to hold your hand'.
It was his first chart hit. Went to number 5 in August, 1955
Yes! It was number one in fact!
The song Rubber Heart, on which In My Life featured, reached a peak of number 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart when it was released in 1965. In 1992, a cover of the song by Bette Midler reached number 20 on the Billboard chart.
The song, Let Me Entertain You, stayed in the top ten songs on the UK chart for a month. This song by Robbie Williams had its peak at number 3 on that chart.
Tegan and Sara had their first 'hit' in 2007 with Back in Your Head. The song climbed to number 32 on the Ultratop Chart of Belgium. The song was written by Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara.
No easy answer to that question: The rock/pop chart began in 1955. The first record to reach number one in 1955 was "Let me go Lover" by Joan Weber (pretty song, typical of the early 50's, but hardly a rock song). That was approximately six months before "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and his Comets reached number one. That song was the first real rock song to reach the top spot.
The song Chain Hang Low was the first song released by the rapper Jibbs. This song would go on to reach the number 13 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
the rose
Connie Francis' first song to reach number one was 'Who's Sorry Now' which reached the top of the UK chart in 1958 but it only made it to No.4 in the US. Her first US chart-topper was 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool' which went to No.1 in 1960.
