The track that made history
Here's a bit of information old-timers will smile about. On September 19, 1960, Chubby Checker's song The Twist went to the top of the charts.
By the time it went off them, it had become one of the most successful singles in pop music history. And here's the more interesting bit. The track is the only one to top the charts twice, after it was released again in 1962!
It stayed on the charts for a very impressive 39 weeks, and launched a dance move that can still be seen today — if you are invited to the right kind of parties!
