Why it is here
- "Hey Ya!" is a long-running catalog staple rather than a new release: it spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after reaching the top on December 13, 2003, and won Best Urban/Alternative Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards in February 2004. source
- It has continued to re-enter the UK Official Singles Chart in 2026, logging placings on the charts dated 08/01/2026, 09/04/2026, 16/04/2026, 04/06/2026 and 11/06/2026. source
- Its profile was refreshed in mid-2026 by press coverage of the song's construction and lyrics, including a Billboard-derived ranking of its "shake it like a Polaroid picture" bridge as the best bridge of all time and a June 13, 2026 feature on the bleak message beneath the upbeat track. source
