Bon Jovi Earns A Brand New Top 10 Hit Single

Bon Jovi’s latest single “Now or Never” has turned out to be something of a surprise hit. Throughout 2025, the collaboration – powered by Pitbull and built around a familiar Bon Jovi hook—has spent months climbing various Billboard charts, dipping here and there but always finding a way to rebound, at least so far. Just when it looked like the collaboration might be on its way out, it pulls off an unexpected feat: a brand new peak on a particularly competitive list.

“Now or Never” Cracks the Top 10

“Now or Never” hits a new high on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. The genre-blending cut lifts from No. 13 to No. 9, becoming a top 10 hit for the very first time on Billboard’s recently-introduced tally that ranks the most popular tunes that combine pop with dance and electronic elements.

The First Top 10 for Both Bon Jovi and Pitbull

The rise of “Now or Never” marks a career milestone for both of the stars involved. The track is now the first top 10 hit for Bon Jovi and Pitbull on the Hot Dance/Electronic/Pop Songs chart. That’s not really surprising, though, since the list is only a few months old.

Bon Jovi’s Comeback and New Peak

Just one week ago, “Now or Never” returned to the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart after falling off entirely. The cut re-entered at No. 13, narrowly finding space on the 15-spot roster. Before that, it had climbed as high as No. 11, and more than once.

“Now or Never” Appears on Multiple Billboard Charts

While its most exciting placement this frame is its new top 10 finish on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs list, “Now or Never” is also performing well on several other Billboard charts. The tune holds steady at No. 12 on the Adult Pop Airplay tally, just one spot shy of its peak on that radio-focused roster.

Elsewhere, the title’s experience is something of a mixed bag. The track slips to No. 13 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart and falls to No. 30 on the Pop Airplay list.

Pitbull Repurposes a Bon Jovi Classic

“Now or Never” is part of a recent trend by Pitbull, who’s been crafting modern EDM-laced anthems using nostalgic melodies from earlier hits. For this cut, he borrows the chorus of “It’s My Life,” one of Bon Jovi’s most recognizable tunes, and transforms it into something new. The end result is a high-energy, club-ready single that repackages a rock staple for a different generation of listeners, and it’s resonating with Americans.
