Probably the last of a 4 week chart run for Dreams

[WolfSpear]

Keep in mind that Frankie Avalon’s “Venus” is a newer discofied version.

Likewise, the 1991 version of “Home Sweet Home” is the remix found on that year’s compilation/greatest hits.

The Tokens’ “Lion Sleeps Tonight” made a re-entry in 1994, inspired by the Lion King. Go figure, huh?

[sheardbeard]

Also, the 1986 version of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" is a completely different, "modernized" recording.

Same goes with the 1980 vs. 1989 versions of Whitesnake's "Fool for Your Loving".

Also also, Sarah McLachlan's 1996 chart run of "I Will Remember You" was a studio recording, whereas the 1999 chart run was a live version.

Same goes with Kiss' "Rock And Roll All Nite" AND "Shout It Out Loud": first chart run = studio version; second chart run = live version.

[Gary]

Thanks for the feedback - added the Tokens listing (missed that one) and notes about remixes and new versions

[WolfSpear]

Elvis Presley’s “Guitar Man” was remixed in 1981; the Monkees “Daydream Believer” is also featured in a remix for in 1986.

[kalmanta]

MJ‘s songs would have flooded the Hot100 back in 2009, maybe even getting new peaks?

[jebsib]

Fantastic thread. Would love to know the stories behind some of those re-entries in the first 30 years.

[HolidayGuy]

Billboard reported that "Billie Jean," "Thriller" and "Man in the Mirror" would have ranked at Nos. 5-7 on the July 11 Billboard Hot 100 if non-current songs were allowed to chart at the time.

Most of them were cases of the label re-releasing the song to radio if I’m not mistaken — that’s a practice we just don’t really see anymore. But if there are more specific or interesting stories about any of them I’d also love to know!!

[WolfSpear]

I’m somewhat curious about the ones from the late 50’s. These songs were either re-promoted or... used in films? Something along those lines had to spark the re-interest.

Not that many songs in the pre-rock era have multiple shelf lives. In fact, besides “White Christmas”, I don’t think any song 1940-1954 appeared within 2 years of the initial chart appearance. Correct me if I’m wrong...

In those early days, you bought the single and it had to last a lifetime... until 1) magnetic tape and 2) pressing on vinyl made it more accessible to re-issue by the label.

[Gary]

If there was, it was definitely a Christmas song, a song at a time, I plan on looking at that in the other thread. (One song at a time -The 1940-58 chart runs would be more of a manual lookup thing)

-At This Moment was re-released because it was featured in Family Ties as the ‘love theme’ to Michael J Fox and his girlfriend on the show.

-Stand By Me (Stand By Me movie)
-Do You Love Me (Dirty Dancing)
-Twist and Shout (Matthew Broderick lip-synced to it in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was also featured in the movie Back to School in the same year).

All 3 of those were re-released due to being in hugely popular movies.

[imbondz]

I believe Paula Abdul’s (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me was the first release off the album. It bombed, then she released Straight Up, Cold Hearted, Forever Your Girl, and Opposites Attract which all went to #1. Then the label re-released (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me and it became a top 5 hit.

[imbondz]

Few more:

Unchained Melody, Righteous Brothers - Featured as the love theme from Ghost. Huge film, radio started getting requests for it and played it and it was re-released. They recorded a new version because of licensing rights I believe. So 2 versions were charting at the same time. It was very strange.

December of 63 (Oh What a Night) - completely different dance version.

Star Spangled Banner Whitney Houston - she performed it perfectly at Super Bowl 25, right during the Gulf War. I believe it sold close to a million copies within a month after she performed it.

[imbondz]

According to Wikipedia:

This made Houston the first musical act to take the national anthem Top 10 in the US, and have it certified platinum. The 2001 re-release of the single (after the 9/11 attacks) was Houston's last Top Ten hit on the US Hot 100 during her lifetime. Houston donated her portion of the proceeds.


The Star Spangled Banner became the fastest-selling single in Arista's history at the time, with 750,000 copies sold in the first eight days.

With DMX we should have the first entry here since Dreams in 2020

Ruff Ryders Anthem debuted and peaked at #94 in 1999

DMX Scores Highest-Charting Hot 100 Hit as 'Ruff Ryders' Anthem' Returns
By Xander Zellner

The late rapper's classic re-enters at No. 16, while "Party Up (Up in Here)" and "X Gon' Give It To Ya" return at Nos. 40 and 46, respectively.
Three of DMX's seminal tracks re-enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated April 24), with his '90s classic "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" returning at No. 16, marking the late rapper's best career showing on the survey.

The groundbreaking rapper (real name: Earl Simmons) died April 9 in White Plains, New York, after suffering a heart attack on April 2. He was 50.

"Ruff Ryders' Anthem" originally reached No. 94 on the Hot 100 in February 1999. It now outpaces The Lox's "Money, Power & Respect" (on which DMX was featured with Lil Kim), which climbed to No. 17 in May 1998, to become DMX's highest-charting song among 15 Hot 100 entries.

"Anthem" also enters the Streaming Songs chart at No. 14, up 477% to 16.6 million U.S. streams in the week ending April 15, according to MRC Data. Plus, with a 738% surge to 16,400 sold, the track debuts at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales. It also drew 1.6 million in radio airplay audience in the week ending April 18 (among the 1,300 stations that report to the all-format Radio Songs chart).

The single was produced and co-written (with DMX) by Swizz Beatz and appears on DMX's debut LP It's Dark and Hell Is Hot, which re-enters the Billboard 200 at No. 46 with 14,000 equivalent album units (up 485%). The set debuted at No. 1 in June 1998 and had last appeared on the chart in May 2000.


Additionally, DMX's "Party Up (Up in Here)" re-enters the Hot 100 at No. 40, after it reached No. 27 in April 2000, and "X Gon' Give It to Ya" returns at No. 46, a new peak, after it hit No. 68 in April 2003. "Party" enters Streaming Songs at No. 45 (9.2 million, up 402%) and Digital Song Sales at No. 3 (15,600, up 638%), while "X" arrives on the lists at No. 35 (10 million, up 486%) and No. 7 (10,700, up 763%), respectively.

Before this week, DMX had last appeared on the Hot 100 in July 2004, as featured on Yung Wun's No. 76-peaking "Tear It Up," also featuring Lil Flip and David Banner. As a lead artist, he had last appeared on the chart in October 2003 with "Where The Hood At" (No. 68 peak).
