After this, there are only 40 left! And included in this segment is the OTHER song in our 1000-hit countdown that has been a significant hit twice since 1972. (The other one was “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, a hit in 1976 and 1992, back at #454.)

And no, it's not "Candle in the Wind." The 1997 version was a completely new song, so it doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteMy guess: Every Breath You Take? Reemerged when it was heavily sampled at the death of Biggie Smalls?
ReplyDeleteNice try, Mike -- Tom Yake wins (through Facebook, not here). It was "December 1963" by the Four Seasons, which was re-released in 1994 as a dance remix!
