Was surprised to learn only 6 have hit no 1 on the Billboard charts.

1) Volare (Mandugno (sp)1958) although I liked the Gipsy Kings version best, followed by Dean Martin's Anglicised version

2) Sukiyaki (Sakamoto 1963) He died in a plane crash

3) Dominique (Singing nun Decker 1963). She committed suicide.

4) Rock Me Amadeus (Falco 1986)

5) La Bamba (Los Lobos 1988) a movie about Ritche Valens who died in a plane crash


6) Macarena (Los Del Rios 1996)

We haven't had 1 yet this century.
