Living in Boston, I can confirm that the Four Seasons remix was played on OHP,
and extensively at local dance clubs as early as Spring 1992! It may have even
been played by Kiss108 once in a while. This is why when it was released
nationally in mid 1994, it felt 'old' to me, and I never knew the real reason for
the mainstream re-release.]]> Tue, 18 May 2021 08:31:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9587&PID=58212&title=hot-100-reentries-reasons#58212 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9587&PID=58210&title=hot-100-reentries-reasons#58210 Author: Ringmaster_D

Plus "Sail on Sailor" was the lead track on a 1975 single disc
compilation called "Good Vibrations: Best Of The Beach Boys."
They were really milking the success of "Endless Summer" in
1974 & 1975. I would argue that this marketing forever branded
them as a nostalgia act.]]> Tue, 18 May 2021 05:47:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9587&PID=58210&title=hot-100-reentries-reasons#58210 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9587&PID=58200&title=hot-100-reentries-reasons#58200 Author: Hykker

Yes, it spend a couple weeks in the top 10 on WRKO in
Feb/March of '73 and since many New England stations
were influenced by 'RKO it got a lot of play there too.
1975, not so much. Don't think I heard it then at all,
though I moved to the west coast for a couple years in
late '75 and heard it a lot (presumably as a recurrent)
then.

So not only "Shout It Out Loud" by Kiss and "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles charted twice, but also two versions of "Shout":

The Isley Brothers - "Shout - Part 1"
1959 - #47
1962 - #94 - after it was covered by Joey Dee & The Starliters

Lulu & The Luvers - "Shout":
1964 - #94
1967 - #96 - after her #1 hit "To Sir With Love"

Going back to the original post:

"Never on Sunday" by Don Costa re-entered
for two reasons.

First, there was a vocal version by the
Chordettes released around the same time
the Costa version returned to the charts.

Second, in April 1961, "Never on Sunday"
was awarded the Oscar for Best Original
Song, which renewed interest in it.

As a side note, three different Academy
Award winners for Best Song entered the
Hot 100 in the 1970s as a direct result of
winning. All of them had been released as
singles months before but did little or
nothing until they won the Oscar. They
were "The Morning After" by Maureen
McGovern in 1973 (from The Poseidon
Adventure); "I'm Easy" by Keith
Carradine in 1976 (from Nashville);
and "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti in 1977
(from Rocky).
