charts and found 15 songs that cracked the top 50 on the Hot 100 when they were originally released, and resurfaced on one of several major Billboard charts at least a decade later. One exception was made for a song that didn’t originally top Billboard charts but hit #1 on the U.K. singles chart.Originally written for a small-budget 1955 prison film “Unchained,” three versions of “Unchained Melody” by three different artists landed in the Top 10 songs of ‘55.
The song, which references popular dances of the early ‘60s like the Mashed Potato and the Twist, was featured decades later in the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing”—it plays as Baby walks into the staff quarters carrying a watermelon and sees everyone dancing. The popularity of the film sent “Do You Love Me” to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1992, the opening scene of the Mike Myers film “Wayne’s World” featured a full three minutes of the song—a scene that reportedly had Freddie Mercury’s approval. Coinciding with Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, the song reentered the U.S. charts and blew past its previous record, peaking at #2. In 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody” charted for a third time with the release of the award-winning Freddie Mercury biopic of the same name.
Queen and David Bowie joined forces to co-create “Under Pressure” while working on separate projects in the Swiss Alps. Their joint hit song was made using much improvisation, as well as Bowie and Mercury recording separate vocal tracks of how they thought the melody should sound. for Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, Prince eventually recorded the iconic “Purple Rain” himself live with his band during a concert in Minneapolis. The song topped the charts at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 after its release in 1984. The same year, Prince released his legendary musical film “Purple Rain,” in which he starred.
The synth-pop song peaked at #30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 when it was originally released on her 1985 “Hounds of Love” album. Thirty-seven years later, the song beat its previous record, coming in at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on Billboard’s Global 200, surprising Bush herself with the level of enthusiasm from both older and younger generations.- Comeback year: 2012
