this also happened with "running up that hill" by Kate bush. originally charted in the 80's, made a quick reappearance in 2012 at the olympics, and then again this year when it was on Stranger Things. it charted higher this year than it did when it first came out

The UK charts had this at #3 in 1985 (original release), then #6 in 2012 (remix version), then #51 in 2014, followed by the 2022 re-release, which hit #1. In the US, the 1985 release hit #30, and the re-release in 2022 hit #3. The re-release made Top Ten in more than 30 countries worldwide.

If I'm not mistaken, this is what happened with "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey as well. It came out in the 90s, but didn't actually hit number one until a couple years ago.
