Not only did Chubby Checker chart twice with "The Twist," both times, he hit Number One--the only time that feat has ever been pulled off. (Numerous remakes of Number One hits have themselves gone on to hit Number One--"The Locomotion" by Little Eva in 1963 and Grand Funk in 1974, "Venus" by the Shocking Blue in 1970 and Bananarama in 1986 are just a couple of examples. But Chubby Checker did it not only with the same song, but the same record.)
I wonder if the label ever considered re-releasing "Let's Twist Again" to radio the following summer, or had the twist craze run its course by then?
