* Music/TheBeatles:
** 25 years passed between the release of their final studio album ''Music/LetItBe'' (1970) and the release of their first "new" song from the ''Anthology'' project, "Free As A Bird" (1995). This is because of Music/JohnLennon's death in 1980, with the song being a Lennon demo that received additional work from the then three surviving Beatles.
** 27 years passed between "Real Love" (1996) and "Now and Then" (2023). Like "Free as a Bird", both were Lennon demos that the rest of the band worked on for the ''Anthology'' project, yet "Now and Then" remained shelved for decades, with Music/GeorgeHarrison having passed on in the interim in 2001. It then fell to the two remaining Beatles, Music/PaulMcCartney and Music/RingoStarr, to finish up the song with some assistance from 2020s recording technology to enhance Lennon's vocal.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
** The gap between ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' and ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'' was just barely under three years (8 July 2000 to 21 June 2003). Three years isn't a big gap by the standards of this trope, but the "Three-Year Summer" became infamous within the fanbase because the books had previously been released on a consistent one-year cadence. Because this time period coincided with the growth of early internet fandom spaces, this specific Sequel Gap, as relatively short as it was, is credited with giving the series its massive internet pop culture relevance.
** After ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' in 2007, the next installments in the franchise, ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'' and ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' did not come out until 2016, a gap of nine years.
