Am working on a chart project over at Pulse Music where we are trying to piece
together WHY Hot 100 entries re-charted.
Since most Re-entries are well-documented post-1980 (or obvious... such as
later appearing in hit films, etc) I am focusing today on the first 22 years of the
Hot 100. It seems the reasons behind many of these are lost to time...
If anyone remembers or has any insight into the reason these songs were re-
released and re-charted, It would be very helpful! Was it a movie, TV
commercial, re-mix?

Here's a few off the top of my head...
Monster Mash - The 1970 release was on a new label (Parrot), but it didn't take off at Top 40 radio. The 1973 release started
getting airplay on a couple of Top 40 stations and just took off. They tried the same tactic with Napoleon XIV song, but it didn't
take off like Monster Mash did.
Last Kiss - The popularity of the new version by Wednesday prompted a reissue of the original by J. Frank Wilson.
Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley (1974 - Re-popularized due to being used as the theme to TV's Happy Days).
Surfin' U.S.A. - Beach Boys - Due to popularity of Endless Summer album.
Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell - Studio vs Live version.
Rock And Roll All Nite - Kiss - Just two different versions. The live version was much more popular.
Venus - Frankie Avalon - Just an updated disco version for obvious reasons.
Ode To Billie Joe - Title song from the movie that came out in 1976. Both the original and a new version charted!
She's Gone - Hall & Oates - Atlantic re-released as duo was hot with "Sara Smile".
Free Bird - Studio vs Live version.
Do Ya - ELO - 1977 version was a new version of The Move's original.
I Just Want To Make Love To You - Fogaht - Studio vs Live version.
Crazy On You - Heart - They were in a legal battle with their previous label (Mushroom). Mushroom wanted to squeeze out as
many sales as they could, so re-released "Crazy On You" followed by the Magazine album.
Shout It Out Loud - Studio vs Live version.
Disco Inferno & More Than A Woman - Included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

"I Honestly Love You" was re-released with a new B-
side in 1977 to promote Olivia's first "Greatest Hits"
album. Same recording, different "physical" (pun
intended!) record. Olivia re-recorded the song in
1998 for her "Back With A Heart" album fearful that
another artist would remake the song that she felt was
her signature tune. It was "rumour"ed (another pun
intended!) that the demand for the 1998 version was so
strong that MCA pulled "Precious Love" as the album's
first single in favor of this. Don't know if that was
the wisest idea. Although it returned Olivia to the
Hot 100 (# 67) and AC (# 18) charts for the first time
in six years, it also made her career too nostalgic
coming just two months after the 20th anniversary re-
release of "Grease." Surprisingly, MCA never released
another single from the album except for a vinyl 45 of
the title track. Ironically, this album was Olivia's
return to the country market, but country radio
ignored this altogether. I spoke to a country DJ when
Olivia was promoting this and he commented that none
of his listeners were interested in hearing the
remake.

Thanks so much, Paul & Scanner - Invaluable stuff.
As I suspected the 50s an 60s is a bit of a black hole, but will keep on
researching.
I'll post 1980+ with all the explanations soon.

Derek and the Dominos - Layla
The album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs opened to poor sales most likely due to Clapton's name being found only on the back cover. In addition, the song's length proved prohibitive for radio airplay at 7:10. As a result, a shortened version of the song, consisting of the first 2:43 of Part I, was released as a single in March 1971 by Atco Records in the United States. That version peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100. The reason for the re-release in 1972 was because of its appearance on the compilations The History of Eric Clapton and Duane Allman's An Anthology. The exposure propelled it to #10 on Billboard.
The 1992 Layla comes from the unplugged session and strictly originates from Clapton's solo career. If I recall it was because of this Tears in Heaven success that they needed another single to put out that was strong enough to propel sales of the album. The unplugged Layla almost sounded like a completely different song, which explains why it was released.
Light My Fire - The Doors
The song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 again in 1968, carried by the success of Jose Feliciano’s latin-style cover of the song which won two 1968 Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Male Pop Performance.
Neil Diamond - Solitary Man
After Diamond had renewed commercial success with Uni Records at the end of the decade with several top hits, BANG Records re-released "Solitary Man" as a single and it reached No. 21 on the U.S. pop charts in the summer of 1970 as Diamond was extremely popular releasing new hit songs, compared to 1966 when Bang signed him and he was an unknown singer and was first and foremost a song writer.
Youngbloods - Get Together
In 1969, renewed interest in the Youngbloods' cover version of the song came when it was used in a radio public service announcement as a call for brotherhood by the National Conference of Christians and Jews. People started calling their radio stations requesting the song.
"Augie Blum, the head of promotion at RCA, went to his boss and said, 'I want this song again. Now's the time for it.' And they told him, 'Now Augie, we don't do that. You know we released it once. That's it.' And he said, 'You release a song again or I'm out of here.' He was too valuable for them to lose," Young explains. "So they put it out again, and he was right, of course. The country was ready." https://www.npr.org/2019/04/10/711545679/get-together-youngb loods-summer-of-love-american-anthem
Aerosmith - Dream On
The version released in 1973 was a 45 edit, removing most of the intro and the first chorus. If you've heard the song this pretty much explains why outside of Boston the song did not catch on in popularity. Columbia Records chose to service top 40 radio stations with both long (4:25 album) and short versions (1973 edit) of the song, explaining why it had more success the second time around.

Looking at some of the earlier ones...
Never On Sunday - Wasn't really off the charts all that long. Don't think there was any "reason" for it coming back in
such a short time.
The Twist - That given reason (first teens, then adults) is true. That record was a total phenom at the time.
Get Together - Re-released due to inclusion in a public service commercial for the National Conference of Christians &
Jews. People started requesting it and radio stations complied.
Solitary Man - After Neil's success on the Uni label, Bang decided to periodically put out "new" 45s. Shilo and Solitary
Man were the biggest.
Dream On - Aerosmith - The 1973 release was pretty much a regional hit in the New England area. After the success of the
Sweet Emotion single in the summer of 1975, Columbia gave Dream On a second chance and it took off.

Also the dance craze of 1961 to early 1962 caught fire quickly which in turn created demand at the radio stations. The Twist was being done by celebrities from what I read.

Once You Understand - The first release was on the Laurie label. Thanks to renewed airplay on WRKO in Boston, the Big Tree
label picked up the "song" and it once again charted. How that thing was a hit once, let alone twice is a total mystery to
me!

Send In The Clowns - The re-release was due to inclusion on Judy's compilation album, So Early In The Spring, The First
15 Years. Elektra decided to give the single another shot to help promote the album and it took off.

One Tin Soldier 1971 was in conjunction with the very
popular movie at the time Billy Jack.
The 1973 release is a different recording.
Both releases say Coven as he artist. In 1971 only the
Coven lead singer and movie studio orchestra did the
record.
The 1973 recording is the entire Coven band. No orchestra
or movie this time.

Tavares had an R&B hit with "She's gone" around '74-'75
and that could explain why Atlantic re-released the Hall
and Oates original.

The 1970 reissue of Solitary Man that made the top 40 was
a remix featuring some additional instrumentation not
present on the original mono single release. This
particular remix hasn't been issued on CD (though the 80s
remix included on the Classics: The Early Years CD is
marginally similar to it).

Actually, there were 2 versions released in 1971, only
the Warner Bros. one charted. I recall seeing the MGM
version on a yellow-label promo back in '71...by 1973
MGM's promos were white label.
Wasn't the movie re-released in 1973?

A more likely reason would be to ride the coat-tails
of "Sara Smile". By then H&O were signed to RCA and
I'm sure Atlantic wanted a piece of the action.

The song was kind of relevant in 1971, being at the
peak of the so-called "generation gap", but it sounded
very dated by '74...don't understand that one myself.
Baffles me why a successful station like WRKO would
have taken a chance reviving a song like that.

Gentle On My Mind - Glen Campbell
Glen did a fill in TV show for The Smothers Brothers in the summer of 1968, then got his own show starting January 1969. He used Gentle On My Mind as the opening theme song...

My recollection about "On the Dark Side" was not VHS rentals causing the film's popularity, but it's frequent showings on HBO. At the time there were very limited cable movie channel offerings so if they ran a movie with a lot of repeats chances were good a lot of people saw it.

The 1986 reissue of Daydream Believer also got a boost from MTV showing The Monkees TV show reruns.
The 1986 reissue of Twist And Shout also got a boost from the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back To School.

As far as the Coven song goes, the movie Billy Jack was released in 1971, but was one of those movies that just kept
playing week after week in different markets across the country until well into 1973.
