David Bowie Posthumously Returns to Billboard Charts with Biggest Hit

David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" returns to Billboard charts, proving that their music remains popular and timeless.

It's been over five years since David Bowie passed away, but his music continues to resonate with fans today. This week, his iconic collaboration with rock band Queen, "Under Pressure," has made a comeback on the Billboard charts, reminding American fans of the timeless appeal of these legendary artists.

"Under Pressure" has reappeared on two Billboard charts, bringing Bowie and Queen back into the spotlight. The song has made its way onto the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, claiming the No. 10 spot. Additionally, it has reentered the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, landing at No. 19. This resurgence in popularity is a testament to the enduring impact of this classic track.

The return of "Under Pressure" to the Billboard charts comes after a period of holiday-dominated rankings, with Christmas tunes dominating the charts. However, as the holiday season comes to an end, there is now more space for non-seasonal classics to reclaim their positions on the tallies.

Originally released in 1981, "Under Pressure" was a chart-topping hit in the U.K. and has since become a signature song for both Bowie and Queen. While it initially reached No. 29 on the Hot 100 in the U.S., its enduring popularity has solidified its status as a timeless classic.

The reemergence of "Under Pressure" on the Billboard charts serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of Bowie and Queen's music. Despite the passage of time, their collaboration continues to captivate audiences and secure its place as a beloved piece of musical history.
