with Truth Hurts being absolutely massive two years after it was released, the time feels right to think about any other examples of this happening. there's been Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol and Walking On A Dream by Empire of the Sun, what else?

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack Here I Go Again - Whitesnake (re-recorded a few times) Dream On - Aerosmith It became a hit a second time, but it was also a hit when initially released. Not quite the same.

A couple extreme examples I can think of (5+ years between initial release and its breakthrough):
“At This Moment” by Billy Vera and the Beaters was initially released in 1981 and peaked at #79 on the Hot 100. It topped the Hot 100 in 1987 after appearing in an episode of Family Ties.
Inner Circle’s “Bad Boys” was originally released in 1987 but didn’t chart. It peaked at #8 on the Hot 100 in 1993 after being selected as the theme song to Cops (they actually didn’t re-release it until the song had already been in use for a few seasons).

Tommy James & The Shondells version of "Hanky Panky" was orginially released in Feb 1964. It became a regional hit but lacked the distribution to become a national one.
It was re-released in 1966 on a bigger label and this time it became a smash hit, ultimately topping the Hot 100 for 2 weeks in July 1966.

Sheriff's "When I'm with You" hit number one 6 years after it was released. Synch's "Where Are You Now?" hit the top 10 at least a couple years after it was released.

The Proclaimers - I'm gonna be (500 miles) originally released in 1988 but became a hit thanks to the movie Benny & Joon in 1993
I thought i had another one with Baltimora - Tarzan boy which was originally released in 1985 and it got a re-release in 1993 as it was featured on one of the ninja turtle movie sequels but i'm not entirely positive how big of a hit it actually became in 1993. I do remember me personally discovering the song that year thanks to the re-release so there is that lol

This isn't US related at all. But, Mon Laferte's "Tu falta de querer" became a hit years after it was released. I think it just suddenly blew up.

A really extreme example, more of the artists entire catalogue.... English artist Nick Drake put out a couple albums in the late 60's/early 70's and had died by overdose by the mid 70's at the age of 26.. By the mid 80's, he was being recognized by quite a few artists (Dream Academy, Kate Bush, Paul Weller, etc) as a musical inspiration. In the late 90's and early 2000's, he had become rather commercial and his music was being used in movies and commercials. This song (From the Morning) was used very succesfully in an AT&T commercial in 2010. Great catalogue, quite a talent.

Surprised no one's brought up Roses yet. The original dropped in 2016, the remix in 2019, and only got big in 2020

Originally flopped in 1977, a DJ started spinning it in 1982 and it was reissued, eventually reaching #3 on the Hot 100 in May of that year.
