Every Song to Re-Enter the Billboard Hot 100 in the Top 10

“Control Myself” first spent three weeks on the Hot 100, never reaching higher than No. 89, before falling off the chart. After the release of parent album Todd Smith, and “Control Myself” as a digital download a month later, the track re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 4, becoming the first top 10 re-entry in the chart’s history.

The Chicks were absent from the Hot 100 for three years before the song debuted. The trio drew pushback following Natalie Maines’ comments about George W. Bush during a concert performance in London in 2003. When the group finally returned with “Not Ready to Make Nice,” which references its exile, the song reached No. 23 in May 2006, largely from download sales, as the group was essentially barred from country radio. After the song fell off the chart, the act performed it at the 49th Grammy Awards and it won for record and song of the year and best country performance by a duo or group with vocal. The buzz around the trophy wins and the group’s performance – and fans’ support for the band – sparked the song’s re-entry at No. 4, The Chicks’ highest rank to-date.

Whitney Houston‘s cover of Dolly Parton’s classic spent a then-record 14 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 1992-93. It returned to the top 10 at No. 7 following her death in 2012 from an accidental drowning. The ballad jumped to No. 3 the following week and fell to No. 30 before dropping off the chart. It earned Houston her highest placement on the list since March 1999, when “Heartbreak Hotel,” featuring Faith Evans and Kelly Price, reached No. 2.

“Cruise” became a debut smash for Florida Georgia Line before Nelly hopped on its remix. The original recording reached No. 16 on the Hot 100 in December 2012 – and No. 1 on Hot Country Songs – in a run that ran through the following February. Two months later, the Nelly remix dropped. The song re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 8 and subsequently crossed to pop and adult radio, spurring its new No. 4 peak in July 2013.

“Million Reasons” was a modest chart hit for Lady Gaga before she performed the track at the Super Bowl LI halftime show, originally reaching No. 52 on the Hot 100 in December 2016. After she added the ballad to her Super Bowl setlist, it re-entered at its No. 4 peak, becoming her 10th top 10, of 17 to-date. (The song’s comeback mirrored that of the New England Patriots the same night, as the team overcame a daunting 28-3 deficit to the Atlanta Falcons to win 34-28 in overtime.)

Juice WRLD‘s breakthrough single re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 8 following his death from a drug overdose on Dec. 8, 2019. The song, which samples Sting’s 1993 track “Shape of My Heart,” peaked at No. 2 in October 2018 and, upon its return, added a 26th total week in the top 10.

The Weeknd‘s four-week Hot 100 No. 1 – and, ultimately, the reigning title on the Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Songs chart – revisited the weekly list at No. 3, making it the highest re-entry yet, after holiday hits pushed many then-current titles off the chart temporarily. The song was gone only for a week – interrupting its eventual 90-week record run on the chart (as it placed below No. 25 that week after over a year on the chart) – and returned as current hits soared back to the top 10, a week after holiday songs infused the tier exclusively. (Notably, “Blinding Lights,” “Lucid Dreams” and “I Will Always Love You” are the only songs among these eight to not post a new Hot 100 peak in their returns to the top 10.)

Bush’s 1985 single, which originally reached No. 30 that year, re-entered the Hot 100 at a new No. 8 best fueled by its placement in Stranger Things, before peaking at No. 3. “‘Running Up That Hill’ was given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show – I love it too!” Bush said upon the alt classic’s chart return. “It’s all really exciting! Thanks very much to everyone who has supported the song.”

Ives’ holiday standard re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 10 after climbing as high as No. 4. The late entertainer’s holiday legacy is also bolstered by the beloved 1964 animated special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – featuring “A Holly Jolly Christmas” – for which he provided the narration in the role of Sam the Snowman (who was designed to resemble the jolly Ives).

Brenda Lee’s classic holiday tune re-entered the chart at No. 8 in 2023, thanks to annual gains for the song. It surpassed Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” to become the highest re-entry on the chart among holiday songs. It was a particularly momentous year for Lee, as “Rockin’” finally dethroned Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” at No. 1 on the chart. It spent three total weeks at No. 1 that season, becoming Lee’s third career No. 1 hit and first since “I Want to Be Wanted” in 1960. At 79 years old, Lee also became the oldest artist to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100. Notably, Lee recorded the song when she was 13 years old, and if the song had topped the chart at the time, she would have been the youngest woman to top the chart.

SZA’s “Snooze” had already climbed to its No. 2 peak on the Hot 100 when it re-entered at No. 6 in January 2024. It reached its peak on Oct. 7, 2023 but it was soon pushed off the chart due to the annual influx of holiday music. Despite the holiday rush, “Snooze” still had legs, and was quick to return to its spot in the top 10 once the holiday tracks fell off the chart in January. Though it never surpassed its No. 2 peak, the song spent 10 more weeks in the top 10 before graduating to recurrent status in April 2024.

Much like SZA’s “Snooze” before it, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” had more juice in the tank after the holiday season. The song spent a week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 on March 30, 2024 and remained in the top 10 until December of that year before soon being pushed off the chart due to the rush of holiday music. It came back with a force, though, re-entering the chart at No. 4 on Jan. 11, 2025 and later setting a new record for the most total weeks spent in the top 10 (80) and most total weeks spent on the chart (112).

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in 2025, but its chart run wasn’t complete following the 2025 holiday season. It was pushed off the chart due to the annual influx of holiday songs, but returned soon after, re-entering at No. 3 (tying it with The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” in 2021 as the highest re-entries in chart history). It wasn’t alone, though, as Leon Thomas’ “Mutt” and Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” also re-entered in the top 10 that week (at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively).

Leon Thomas had a breakthrough year in 2025, thanks to “Mutt,” which reached No. 6 in November. It fell off the Hot 100 due to holiday music but returned to the top 10 with Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” and Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” (at Nos. 3 and 10, respectively).

Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 in July 2025 and continued its chart run through the end of the year but dropped off due to holiday music. It returned on Jan. 10, 2026 at No. 10 (alongside Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” and Leon Thomas’ “Mutt” in the top 10).
