Elvis Presley has managed to hit the top 21 times (16 in his lifetime, with three of those being re-issues...)

I'd imagine that the Irish drips have sapped every last ounce of enjoyment out of Bette's original... :-\\
More or less in the same way when they tackled 'Seasons In The Sun', 'Mandy', 'Against All Odds', 'Uptown Girl', etc. etc.
