E.T., Just Can't Get Enough, The Edge of Glory, and Party Rock Anthem are also getting support from the Latin formats, although of course Pitbull gets a lot more because he's Cuban. I'm not sure about Just The Way You Are and Grenade, but Bruno didn't get much support with The Lazy Song. Lighters seems to be starting up though.

Party Rock Anthem is at #17 on that format with 4.99 million impressions. It's mostly Spanish language songs but rhythmic songs tend to be able to cross over successfully.
Exceptions are made to re-releases and sudden resurgence in popularity of tracks that have taken a very long time to gain mainstream success. These rare cases are handled on a case-by-case basis and ultimately determined by Billboard’s chart managers and staff.
So basically the only sure way is to be re-released after going recurrent. Otherwise, it's a rare thing for them to decide. If there are qualifications, we don't know the grit to say there is or know what they are. But I doubt there is a certain criteria for them to decide, since it isn't something that happens so often.
