The Twist is the only song in Rock-N-Roll history to top the Billboard charts twice in two separate years. Now, the song has gone to number one again.

This time, the song is number one on Billboard's All-Time Top 100. According to Billboard, 'The Twist' was,

the only single to be No. 1 twice on the Hot 100, in two different chart runs. After topping the chart in 1960, the dance caught on with the older generation. Checker was invited to perform "The Twist" on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Oct. 22, 1961, prompting a re-release of the single and a full-page ad in Billboard that proclaimed, "‘The Twist' dance rage explodes into the adult world!" The grown-ups bought enough copies to send the song back to No. 1 in early 1962.

  1. The Twist - Chubby Checker
  2. Smooth - Santana featuring Rob Thomas
