NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - Incredible! A song of Charlie Chaplin is found again in the charts 67 years after its first release. The song "Smile" was included in the soundtrack of "Modern Times," launched the last week of October 1936. Today, sixty seven years after and precisely the same week, "Smile" is included in two different albums which entered the US top 10 albums this week (8/11/2003).

These albums are:
- Rod Stewart, As Time Goes By... The Great American Songbook: Volume II (track 8) on No 2.
- Barbara Streisand, The Movie Album (track 1) on No 9.

"Smile" marks a historical record of appearance in the US official albums chart and stands as a proof that the treasures of music never disappear; on the contrary they are much like good old wine in new bottles.

To cut a long story short, we simply wonder how many of the mainstream songs - which have nothing to do with music as an art - that climb on the No1 spot (as Clay Aiken, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Pop Stars and Pop Idols) will be listened and remembered by the audiences not after 50 years, but after only one year!
