In 25+ years of personal charting, only a handful of songs have proved strong enough to hit No. 1, bide their time for three weeks or more, and then return to the top. This week, The Bird and the Bee joins that club, as "Heard It on the Radio" is back at No. 1, returning after six weeks. That ties the record for the longest time between No. 1 appearances for a song in one chart run. Here are the other songs that have waited out chart fortunes several weeks for a second shot at the top:
* 1983: "I Won't Hold You Back," Toto -- three weeks
* 1995: "I Can Love You Like That," All-4-One -- three weeks
* 1998: "Crush," Jennifer Paige -- three weeks
* 1999-2000: "When the Heartache Is Over," Tina Turner -- six weeks
* 2007: "When She Loves You," Emerson Hart -- five weeks
* 2008: "Stamp Your Feet," Donna Summer -- five weeks
* 2009: "I Look to You," Whitney Houston -- three weeks
With its return to the top, The Bird and the Bee vaults into the top five of 2010 (so far).
Elsewhere, Sara Bareilles lands her fourth Top 10 hit in five tries as "King of Anything" moves 16-10. Uncle Kracker makes a bid for a third consecutive No. 1 hit as his collaboration with Kid Rock, "Good to Be Me" leaps 23-15. Right behind is Maroon 5's latest hit, "Misery," up 24-16.
Among this week's debuts, Darius Rucker has the highest at No. 37 with "Come Back Song," the first release from his new album. His first country album spun off three consecutive No. 1 hits. And Daughtry notches a ninth Top 40 hit with "One Last Chance" at No. 38 from the EP "Leave This Town, the B-Sides." The group has put together an impressive run in the past four years, with six of its first eight hits going to the Top 10.
