Posted February 28, 200916 yr Does anyone have a list of those old songs that returned to the charts since downloads were counted at the beginning of 2007? I was thinking of songs like In the air tonight and Let your love flow because of adverts. Also christmas songs, songs from movies etc. Thank you

March 1, 200916 yr Why did Honey To The Bee return? :P As far as I can remember it was a campaign of a Radio 1 presenter to get the song back to the top 10 after downloads were allowed to chart whenever they are released.
March 1, 200916 yr I don't recall anyone doing this on X-Factor - it re-entered due to Halloween. I imagine it re-entered due to being a prominent feature in Britain's Got Talent... ;)

March 2, 200916 yr Baz Luhrmann re-entered because Jo Whiley played it on her show And that's enough for it to re-enter the charts? Also, a couple others: -> Radiohead: Creep (re-entered due to their catalogue being able to be downloaded) -> Snow Patrol: Run (possibly because of the then-unavailable Leona Lewis version of it)
