It is a noble metal and a member of the platinum group. It has only one naturally occurring isotope103Rh. Naturally occurring rhodium is usually found as the free metal, alloyed with similar metals, and rarely as a chemical compound in minerals such as bowieite and rhodplumsite.

Billboard's #1 Country Song of 1956


"Crazy Arms"
Ray Price
In a year like 1956 when you had so many legendary songs reach #1 on the Billboard country chart, this little classic spent a record 20 weeks at the top. 
#1 on the airplay, jukebox and bestsellers charts help it become Billboard's biggest county song of 1956.  The record of 20 weeks stood alone until 2013 when Florida Georgia Line matched it with "Cruise".
