We’ve got a new leader on top of the chart, plus rap and a 2001 sleeper hit break into the top 10.
Lesley Gore’s “Misty” hit jumps from No. 3 to the top spot on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the chart posting Jan. 11. The 1963 hit becomes the oldest chart-topper thanks to various trends using the track. Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me” bows to No. 7 thanks to a ton of trends including fashion and makeup. Finally, Sophie Ellis Baxter’s 2001 hit “Murder on the Dancefloor” lands at No. 10. This is in large part thanks to a trend born out of the song used in the film Saltburn.
