 CBS News 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Top Chart Topper November 9, 2002 12:47:26
It was the first single to top the charts twice in the same version and the only song to have hit the No. 1 spot twice at Christmas.
"Bohemian Rhapsody," a six-minute piece that first topped the music charts in 1975, made it to No. 1 again in 1991 when it was released a second time to raise funds for charity after the death of the band's lead singer, Freddie Mercury.
Because of its complex harmonies it was difficult to reproduce and the band were unable to perform it live.

 Every Chart-Topper Tells a Story
Nonetheless, Showaddywaddy scooped twenty-three British chart singles from 1974 to 1982; nine reached the Top Ten, one was a chart-topper.
But the group was then absent from the British chart until March 1977 when, following a record company switch from Bell to Arista Records, they released the single 'When' which took them to No. 3 in Britain.
Their career began with the single 'Hey Rock and Roll', which soared to No. 2 in the British chart during May 1974.

 1000 Number Ones
As we reflect on the 1000th chart topper, the single faces the most spectacular change in its long history - but one which it is seems sure to ride.
They are limited editions of just 27,500 and sustained chart runs seems a little unlikely (though they have, of course, been in the chart for many weeks in their original guise).

 CMT.com : Godsmack : From Idol To Chart-Topper: Kelly Clarkson To Debut At #1
All the albums in next week's top 10 increased their weekly sales from the week prior (it helps when half of them are chart debuts), and the total weekly sales of all top 200 albums was more than 6 million, a significant jump from the 4.3 million cumulative total the week before.
Despite the dip to the album's lowest chart position in its 11-week run, 50 has the distinction of being the only artist in the last decade to place two albums in the top 5 in the same week.
The first-season "American Idol" winner and all those in her camp have got to be more than grateful that the nearly 300,000 copies sold were able to stave off this year's chart champion, 50 Cent.

 [Introspective] Miracles--not a chart topper
I know the whole "PSB must have hits to make money" argument, but I think the PSB are at a stage where they need to pursue music for their and their fans' sake, not for the "charts".

I think the PSB have "graduated" from the demands of the public however--I actually feel like an elitist now as a fan.

 Handspring retail debut becomes instant chart-topper The Register
Of course, Palm's other devices fill up the rest of the top five, leading the company with the vast majority of retail sales, and the Visor's chart position may quickly decline, but Handspring's debut is still pretty smart.
PalmOS licensee Handspring's retail debut last month saw the company beat Palm Computing to the top of the PDA sales chart, according to market researcher PC Data's latest figures.
The irony in all this is that Handspring was formed by the two people - Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky - who originally founded Palm Computing and steered it through its acquisition first by US Robotics and, later, 3Com.
