    I was surprised to see Bat Out of Hell made it so high on that list. Even though I bought it when it came out and played it relentlessly that summer, that's a hell of an accomplishment for Meat Loaf considering the gazillions of more famous albums and higher-profile acts he surpassed.

    Never would have guessed that.

    Here's one. There have been 9 single to reach Billboard number 1 by two different artists.

    Four are: "Go Away Little Girl", "The Loco-Motion", "Please Mr. Postman" and "You Keep Me Hanging On". Name the other five.

    Nope. Apparently, some quick Googling shows that it hit no. 1 as an instrumental in 1955 but the highest version with lyrics reached on the hot 100 was no. 3, with The Righteous Brothers' version peaking at no. 4.

    i'll be there (Jackson five and mariah carey)

    Was going to say Proud Mary, but I think CCR never had a no. 1 hit. no idea on the others.
