hello,
The song 'Spirit In The Sky' has been number one in the UK on three occasions by three different artists. Norman Greenbaun, who wrote the song, released the original in 1970, followed by Doctor and the Medics version in 1986. Gareth Gates reached the number one spot with it in 2003.
Frankie Laine's 'I Believe', went to number one on three separate occasions and for 18 weeks in total during 1953.
The Jackie Wilson song 'Reet Petite' was originally released in 1957 but did not reach number one in the UK charts until 1986. 29 years and 42 days after the original release.
The Beatles song 'With A Little Help From My Friend' also reached number one in the UK three times, although not by the Beatles themselves. Firstly for Joe Cocker in 1968, then by Wet Wet Wet in 1988. Finally hitting the top spot again for Sam and Mark in 2004.
'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen has reached the number one spot in the UK in four different years. Originally released in 1975, it reached the top spot in November and was still there in early 1976. After lead singer, Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, the song was re-released, hitting number one in December of that year and holding on until late January of 1992.
