[OnWithTheCountdown]

The ARC Weekly Top 40 has it debuting at #34 on the 6/25 chart.  We may hear it on AT40 soon as an "On The Verge" track.

I don't know if Rick Dees still does his Weekly Top 40 radio show, it may be a sure shot entry.

Here is a list of songs that repeated a Top 20 success twice by the same artist.

Chubby Checker – The Twist (1960 and 1961) (#1 both times)
Ben E. King – Stand By Me (#4 in 1961 and #9 in 1986)
The Contours – Do You Love Me (#3 in 1962 and #11 in 1988)
Bobby “Boris” Pickett & Crypt-Kickers – Monster Mash (#1 in 1962 and #10 in 1973)
The Safaris – Wipeout (#2 in 1963 and #16 in 1966)
The Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody (#4 in 1965 and #13 in 1990)
Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (#9 in 1976 and #2 in 1992)
Benny Mardones – Into the Night (#11 in 1980 and #20 in 1989)
Whitney Houston – The Star-Spangled Banner (#20 in 1991 and #6 in 2001)
Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You (#1 in 1992 and #3 in 2012)
Prince & The Revolution – Purple Rain (#2 in 1984 and #4 in 2016) *
Prince – When Doves Cry (#1 in 1984 and #8 in 2016) *
Prince – Little Red Corvette (#6 in 1983 and #20 in 2016) *

“Twist and Shout” by The Beatles came close, by the way. In 1964 it hit #2 and in 1986 it hit #23. **

Honorable Mention:

Layla (#10 in 1972 by Derek & The Dominoes and #12 by Eric Clapton in 1992) ***

Of course, one always has to apply an asterisk to any song that had a second chart run during the Soundscan era, and maybe a double asterisk for songs that had a second chart run after Billboard lifted the released single requirement in the late 90's. I'm not sure Prince re-charts with those three songs in 2016 if the released single requirement was still in play (same with Whitney's "I Will Always Love You").

Why does AT40 no longer use Billboard?

It's cheaper not to pay what they want for the rights to their chart info.
