One being Payphone. Anyway the one I really want to see is Dakiti by Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez. Why did you choose two songs that were already big smashes the first time around? That's....the opposite of what happened to RUTH back in 1986 He must be kidding

it would be funny if the next song to get this treatment was Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting." just give us an entire Hounds of Love chart era in the 2020s.

I've been thinking for a while now, if Kate Bush releases a whole new album rollout for a new album, it could be pretty successful. It isn't too far fetched. Just saying.

Any chance you're a fan of the excellent "Hit Parade" podcast? The most recent episode on "Legacy Hits" addresses all three of these songs in particular. I think everyone who's ever been alive knows these songs, despite the fact that they weren't hits in their day. No, but maybe I should! You absolutely should! On the "Legacy Hits" episode he goes through and analyzes songs much like the one you mentioned, which never had a "Running Up That Hill" moment, but which you could say have been "Walking Up That Hill" ever since they came out ;). Two other episodes along similar lines I'd recommend (to you and anyone else!): - The Great War Against the Single - A Deal With the TV God

My picks are:
“October” by Alessia Cara — it’s the perfect end of summer song and has accumulated a decent amount of streams for being nothing more than an album track, so there’s definite potential there.
“So Good” by Zara Larsson — there’s something about this one that’s just so infectious to me, it’s one of my favourites from her and I’m surprised it didn’t do much of anything anywhere.
“WILD” by Troye Sivan — I don’t have much to say about this one to be honest, it’s just a seemingly forgotten gem from Blue Neighborhood, which is one of the best debut albums from the 2010’s.

I Lived by One Republic. This song also had a similar run to ruth's first run. This should've been a #1 hit.

Heard Priscilla Renea "Lovesick" yesterday and was reminded that should've been a big pop hit.
Especially love the opening lines:
I use to tell you the stories about my childhood You never ever believed me About how I slept in trailer on a bed full of paper Okay, well maybe I'm lying
She now goes by the stage name Muni Long and just had a top 20 hit with "Hrs And Hrs". But "Lovesick" is an underappreciated gem.

Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA is a good, I don’t think it ever charted anywhere.

"Got Til It's Gone" by Janet, Q-Tip, and Joni Mitchell.
It was ineligible for the Hot 100 back in '97. With all this #JusticeForJanet buzz online over the past several years, I can't think of a better past song to finally get it's due like RUTH.

I think we need to put "Groove is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite back on the charts. For the gays.

Desperado by Rihanna, I feel it could have a run similar to Die For You if it were released as a single today.

I would love for these songs to go viral or people doing Tik Tok challenges to these:
Together Again or Nasty - Janet Jackson My Love Is Like...Wo - Mya 1 Thing - Amerie Night and Day - Al B. Sure! Forever My Lady - Jodeci If I Ever Fall In Love - Shai Whoop...There It Is - Tag Team

Reba McEntire's "Fancy"
It was a #8 the first time around, but it has endured longer than most #1s. It would be great to see that happen.

Gimme! and Lay All Your Love On Me never charted in the US. I could see GGG becoming a reality. It's become a gay cult classic over the years OP: we might see Titanium - David Guetta Ft. Sia get the RUTH treatment on streaming thanks to M3GAN!

Kylie Minogue's entire catalogue, we were wrong for not putting her in the same box as Britney and Madonna in the states.
- Chocolate - Slow - Get Outta My Way - Confide In Me - Come Into My World - All The Lovers - Wow - In My Arms - In Your Eyes - Did It Again - Put Yourself In My Place - On A Night Like This - Better The Devil You Know - Raining Glitter - Dancing - Spinning Around - Step Back In Time - Timebomb - Cowboy Style - Breathe - The One - Say Something - Magic - Real Groove - Your Disco Needs You - Red Blooded Woman

I'm actually very surprised that "Africa" by Toto didn't re-chart sometime a few years ago when it regained in popularity.
Another one that really got popular again with memes is "All Star" by Smash Mouth. Would have been cool to see that re-chart.
Also, "Never Gonna Give You Up" should have re-charted at the time when everyone was getting Rick-rolled.
