(Saturday, December 27, 1980) — “(Just Like) Starting Over” by former Beatle John Lennon peaked at #1 on today’s Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for six consecutive weeks (Dec. 27, 1980, Jan. 3/10/17/24, 1981).

The song reached number one in both the U.S. and UK after Lennon was murdered by a deranged fan on Dec. 8, 1980, in New York City.

It was Lennon’s 12th appearance and second of two #1 hits on the chart outside of The Beatles since 1969.
