The Mystery of the Missing Song

Observant Singing News forum poster LRBB observed a strange anomaly on the Singing News charts for 2001. From May through October, a song charted in the top 40, peaking at #7 in July and August. It was at #23 on the all-year chart.

However, on the Singing News hits archives for 2001, all of the instances where the song appears are left blank.

LRBB asked what song was missing. I did some research. The song?

“Left Behind” (Steeles)

No, I’m not kidding. You can’t make this kind of stuff up.

Could some staffer at Singing News be playing a royal practical joke on us? I wonder how long this song has been missing.
