The placement of "only" determines which part of the sentence it qualifies. Observe, please:

"there can only be one top performance" implies that nothing else can "be" true. Might not another circumstance "be" equally as true?

"there can be only one top performance" says clearly that there is one possibility; that is, only "one top performance."

Any questions?

No? OK, I have one. For godsakes, how many hours are there left now until game release???
