How to read this page: a comeback means a name in the 2025 top 100 whose last earlier year in the top 100 was at least five years before it returned. The climbing list uses the same idea further down the ranks: last in the top 100 before 2010, ranked 101 to 300 now, up 50 or more ranks since 2020. Ranks are recomputed from SSA counts for the 50 states and DC.
