We have another first, this was the first song to reach both number 1 and number 40 in different versions. The original of course was by The Beatles and topped the charts in 1965. It also becomes the 2nd and final Lennon/McCartney composition to date to peak at 40.
Tina Turner made her Top 40 debut the year after "Help" topped the charts as part of Ike & Tina Turner. They would have 2 Top 40 hits that year and a further one in 1973. Tina Turners solo career began in 1974 but she wouldn't have a Top 40 hit until 1983 with "Lets Stay Together".
This was her 2nd solo Top 40 hit and came from the same album, "Private Dancer". She fared much better with the follow up to this, "What's Love Got To Do With It" which reached number 3 and is jointly her highest charting single to date.
She's clocked up 31 solo Top 40 hits to date with her last one coming in 2020 in collaboration with Kygo in a remake of "What's Love Got To Do With It".
