Never underestimate the exposure an artist gets by being featured on Music’s Biggest Night. Thanks to their appearances on the Grammy Awards, both\u00a0Tracy Chapman<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Billy Joel<\/strong>\u00a0are\u00a0back on<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Hot 100 for the first time in years.<\/p>\n

Tracy’s duet with\u00a0Luke Combs<\/strong>\u00a0on her song “Fast Car” has driven it — pun intended — to number one on\u00a0Billboard<\/em>‘s Digital Song Sales chart, as the song experienced a more than 8,000% increase in sales. The song has also reentered the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Hot 100 at #42, marking the first time Chapman has been on that chart since 1996. The last time the song itself was on the chart? 1988.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Billy Joel\u00a0is back\u00a0<\/a>on the Hot 100 as an artist for the first time since 1997, thanks to “Turn the Lights Back On,” his first new single in 17 years. He performed the song during the Grammy telecast, before closing the show with his classic “You May Be Right.” The new song has entered the Hot 100 at #62.<\/p>\n

Billboard<\/em>\u00a0notes that Billy makes his return just one week shy of the 50th anniversary of his very first appearance on the chart: On February 23, 1974, “Piano Man” debuted at #94; it would eventually peak at #25.<\/p>\n

While Billy’s been absent from the Hot 100 as an artist since 1997, he’s appeared as a writer several times since then. The\u00a0Glee<\/em>\u00a0cast’s versions of “Only the Good Die Young” and “Uptown Girl” charted in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and last year,\u00a0Fall Out Boy<\/strong>\u00a0had a hit with their update of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”<\/p>\n

In addition,\u00a0Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong>\u00a0mentioned Billy and “Uptown Girl” in her song “deja vu,” which hit #3 in 2021.<\/p>\n
