Every time Chubby Checker steps onto a stage, he demonstrates charisma and a unique quality that can never be equaled. Chubby Checker remains one of the most exciting performers out there and he only gets better with time.
In 1960 Chubby Checker went on American Bandstand where he performed The Twist. Those two minutes and 42 seconds forever changed the way we dance to the beat! In the same year, The Twist hit #1 on the charts and did so again in 1962. The Twist is the only non-holiday song to ever hit the #1 position in different years.
Chubby holds a number of “firsts” including: first platinum record ever with Let’s Twist Again; first artist to receive a Grammy for the best rock and roll recording for Let’s Twist Again; first artist to perform a televised Super Bowl halftime show; and The Twist is Billboard’s first #1 record of all time (and was #1 song for 65 years).
Chubby Checker is the only artist to have 5 albums in the top 12 all at once. In those days, each album had 12 songs so that means he had 60 songs in the top 12 on the album charts all at the same time. He is the only artist to ever have nine double-sided hits at the same time.
