Dave Chappelle – Time Rewind

Musical Milestones

1963 – Stevie Wonder becomes the first artist ever with both a No. 1 album and single in the same week. His No. 1 album is “Little Stevie Wonder / The 12 Year Old Genius” and No. 1 single is “Fingertips Part 2.” And if that’s not enough, it’s also the first ever live recording to top the singles chart.

1968 – Diana Ross and the Supremes go their separate ways.

1974 – Paul Anka begins three weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “(You’re) Having My Baby,” his first No. 1 hit since 1959’s “Lonely Boy.”

1985 – “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News — featured in the movie “Back To The Future” — kicks off two weeks on top of the singles chart. The track receives an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song at the 58th Academy Awards, but loses to Lionel Richie’s “Say You, Say Me.”
