Songs that chart many years after their original release
Songs that chart many years after their original release
Check out the song that entered at #36 this week:
http://charts.bdsradio.com/bdsradiochar ... formatid=1
It was released in 1985. But thanks to being featured in a Netflix series (Stranger Things), it is now receiving airplay on Top 40 radio stations.
Is this the oldest song to ever chart? What other examples are there?

Rasputin by Boney M. Re-entered the UK charts last year, and made the top 10 on the US Dance charts.
The highest Boney M. ever got in the US prior was a number 30 on the Hot 100 chart, back in 78 with Rivers of Babylon.
Also their Christmas song Mary's Boy Child re-charts in the UK practically every December

I didn't even know who Kate Bush was until 2020 when Wuthering Heights constantly popped in my YouTube recommendations, and omg was I blown away.
What an amazing song.
The story behind its inception is even more amazing.
