Demi Lovato's song about relapsing Sober re-enters Billboard chart

New York — Demi Lovato's song about relapsing has re-entered the Billboard chart a week after she was hospitalised for a reported overdose.

Sober, released last month, jumped to No. 56 this week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after being absent from the chart last week.

Nielsen Music says Sober earned 7.2 million streams and sold 18 000 tracks in the tracking week ending 26 July.

Lovato was hospitalised on 24 July.

Sober turned heads when it was released since the 25-year-old had celebrated six years of sobriety in March. On the song she sings: "Momma, I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore/And daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor."

Lovato's Solo, a collaboration with British electronic group Clean Bandit, rose to No. 61 on the Hot 100 this week.
