Elton John’s song, Candle In the Wind, has a unique UK chart history:

  1. It charted three times
  2. In three separate decades
  3. By the same artist
  4. Each time it charted, it was more popular than the previous outing (in 1997, it was the biggest selling single of the year), and
  5. Each version was different than the previous release (studio recording, live, Diana tribute)

I don’t think that will ever be duplicated.

The only US president to have an entire province (as well as a city) named after him in a country outside the US is Rutherford B. Hayes.

Hayes arbitrated a land claim after the War of the Triple Alliance in favor of Paraguay, doubling the size of the country. To show their gratitude, Paraguay named a part of the area (as well as its largest city) after him: Presidente Hayes Province and Villa Hayes.

Hayes never visited Paraguay, and merely signed off on a decision made by a State Department official.
