Short story:

Try Again by Aaliyah, from the soundtrack of the film Romeo Must Die, reaches No1 in the Billboard US Top 40 singles chart, purely on the basis of airplay, making it the first song in history to reach the top slot without a commercial release. On the same day, UK teen pop star Billie Piper collapses in Bar 38, Covent Garden, London, and is rushed to hospital. The incident is explained as arising from a kidney infection.
