UB40 sent its reggae-spiced cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, from the Sharon Stone movie Sliver, would reign for seven weeks – that's even better than Presley's, which reached No. 2 in 1962.
July 25, 1981
Yacht rock ruled, as Air Supply crowned the Billboard Hot 100 with "The One That You Love." Although it's the Australian duo's sole No. 1, the pair arrived with seven consecutive top five smashes in 1980-82.
