Written by djfrosty on September 6, 2023
New music from NCT U, Nicki Minaj and ONE OK ROCK complete the top five of Billboard’s Sept. 16-dated Hot Trending Songs chart, powered by X.
Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by X (formerly known as Twitter), track global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across X, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday, with the latest tracking period running Aug. 25-31.
NCT U’s “Baggy Jeans” leads the latest chart following its Aug. 28 premiere alongside the rest of NCT’s Golden Age – The 4th Album, a 10-track release largely comprised of songs from NCT U plus one (“Golden Age”) from NCT 2023.
In the Aug. 25-31 tracking week, “Baggy Jeans” earned 555,000 official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
Two other NCT U songs make the top five in “Alley Oop” and “Kangaroo” at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. “The Bat” (No. 6) and “PADO” (No. 7) also appear in the top 10.
The top-charting non-NCT U release, meanwhile, is Nicki Minaj’s “Last Time I Saw You,” which debuts at No. 2. Though it was released in full on Sept. 1, the song was teased via Minaj’s social media accounts beginning Aug. 25.
At No. 5 comes ONE OK ROCK with “Make It Out Alive.” The latest song from the Japanese rockers came out Aug. 29 and helps the band to its first Hot Trending Songs appearance.
