Le Freak was the first song to score the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 three separate times. In 1987, an acid house-styled re-mix was issued under the title Jack Le Freak. It reached No. 18 in the United Kingdom, becoming Chic's last top 40 hit to date in that country. In 2010, Le Freak was covered by the electronica band Millionaires for the MTV movie Turn the Beat Around.
