Fictional Bands Who Reached Billboard’s Charts: The Wonders, August Moon, 4*TOWN, Spinal Tap & More

Miley Cyrus has a legendary history on Billboard‘s charts under her own name, but she’s also charted with two of her fictional characters.

Her classic Hannah Montana character charted 20 songs on the Hot 100 in 2006-10, including the No. 10-peaking “He Could Be the One” in 2009.

Hannah Montana also charted eight albums on the Billboard 200 (some were billed to Hannah Montana, while others are billed as a soundtrack or to Cyrus herself), including three No. 1s: Hannah Montana in 2006, Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus in 2007, and Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009.

Hannah Montana aired four seasons on Disney Channel from 2006-2011. The character also starred in the films Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008), Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), and the TV film Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana (2009). She also starred in multiple video games.

In the Hannah Montana universe, Hannah Montana is the musical alter ego of Miley Stewart, a middle schooler who has a secret identity as a pop star. Cyrus’ real dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, also played her TV father, as Robby Ray Stewart.

Over a decade later, in 2019, Cyrus charted with her Ashley O character from Black Mirror. Ashley O appears in the third and final episode from the show’s fifth season, “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too.” The episode follows Ashley O, a pop singer, whose career is stifled by her controlling aunt and cousins. Ashley O performs her song “On A Roll,” an adaptation of Nine Inch Nails’ 1989 song “Head Like A Hole,” in the episode, which later reached Billboard‘s charts.

“On A Roll” peaked at No. 3 on Dance Club Songs and No. 39 on the Digital Song Sales chart.

After launching her solo career, Cyrus charted 40 additional songs under her own name (as of June 2024), including the No. 1s “Wrecking Ball” and “Flowers.”

Chris Martin and the band gave fans a taste of things to come at Budapest’s Puskás Aréna on Sunday night (June 16), where they performed the new song in full. Earlier, the group shared a snippet of the euphoric new number on their socials, along with artwork that features the face of a waning planet with a colorful corona erupting from its surface.

On it, Martin sings: “It feels like I’m falling in love/ You’re throwing me a lifeline/ Oh, not for the first time/ I know I’m not alone.”

Trending on Billboard



In line with the foursome’s long-standing eco-ethics, Coldplay has “gone to great lengths” to make the physical release of Moon Music “as sustainable as possible,” according to a statement.

Each 140g LP will contain some nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste, and the CD version are said be the “world’s first” to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, also sourced from post-consumer waste.

The first edition of Moon Music (EcoRecord rPET LP and EcoCD) will be available in limited-edition, individually-numbered runs and produced at a “higher specification” than future cuts, reads a statement.

Moon Music is a continuation to Coldplay’s most recent release, the Max Martin-produced 2021 effort Music Of The Spheres, which opened at No. 1 in the U.K. and Australia, and No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The single “My Universe” with BTS hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Martin has been teasing the new record for 18 months, at least. Back in January of 2023, he told the Toronto City News that the band was nearing completion of what he then promised was the second LP in the Music of the Spheres series. He remarked “that won’t come out for a bit,” though he teased that the band “might” start rolling out some of the new songs live that year.

Coldplay’s current global trek is in support of Spheres, kicking off on March 18, 2022 in Costa Rica. The years-long tour is currently slated to wrap up with the second of two shows in Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand on Nov. 16.

Eminem Performs Magic Trick on U.K. Chart With ‘Houdini’

Eminem’s “Houdini” (Interscope) proves unstoppable on the U.K. chart, as it notches a second week at No. 1.

There’s a touch of magic about Marshall Mathers’ 11th and latest No. 1 on the Official U.K. Chart; it’s the first time the Rock Hall-inducted rap legend has secured more than one week at the summit.

Em previously led the survey with “The Real Slim Shady” (2000), “Stan” (2000), “Without Me” (2002), “Lose Yourself” (2002), “Just Lose It” (2004), “Like Toy Soldiers” (2005), “Smack That” with Akon (2006), “The Monster” with Rihanna (2013), “River” with Ed Sheeran (2017) and “Godzilla” with the late Juice WRLD (2020).

Sabrina Carpenter has had Brits drinking down “Espresso” (Island) all summer. The track holds at No. 2 on the chart, published Friday, June 14. Now, she’s getting a buzz from her new single “Please, Please, Please,” new at No. 3 for the highest new entry on the Official Chart.

Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is currently working its way through the U.K. Typically, TayTay’s tunes fly up the charts of those countries she visits, and the U.K. is no different. As The Tortured Poets Department (EMI) returns to No. 1 on the national albums survey, “Cruel Summer” reenters the U.K. top 40 at No. 17.

After nabbing a record six Brit Awards earlier this year, RAYE bags a 15th U.K. top 40 appearance with “Genesis” (Human Re Sources). Clocking in at seven minutes, “Genesis” debuts at No. 22. It’s the followup to RAYE’s No. 1 hit from 2023, “Escapism.”

Meanwhile, Swift’s Tortured Poets logs a sixth non-consecutive week atop the Official U.K. Albums Chart, setting a new mark for the U.S. pop superstar. Tortured Poets surpasses her previous best of five non-consecutive weeks with 2022’s Midnights. Tortured Poets retains top spot, thanks in part to the release of new, U.K.-exclusive digital formats including previously-unreleased bonus live recordings, in celebration of the current U.K. leg of her The Eras Tour.

Five classic Swift albums climb the chart: Lover (19-7), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (21-9), Midnights (26-13), folklore (25-14) and reputation (36-19).

After leading earlier in the week, Charli XCX’s sixth LP Brat (Atlantic) bows at No. 2. According to the Official Charts Company, Brat’s first-week total eclipses that of her 2022 No. 1 Crash.

Finally, Rock Hall-inducted rock legends Bon Jovi complete the podium with Forever (EMI), new at No. 3.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, Eminem’s new track “Houdini” (Interscope/Universal) holds at No. 1 for a second consecutive week.

Sabrina Carpenter continues her hot streak with her former No. 1 “Espresso” lifting 5-2, and her followup “Please Please Please” (both via Island/Universal) entering at No. 4, for the week’s top debut.

Shaboozey’s country tune” A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (via Empire) is unchanged at No. 3.

The highest-flying homegrown track belongs to Australian singer and producer Cyril with “Stumblin’ In” (Spinnin’ Records/Warners), unmoved at No. 32. The groovy cut interpolates the Suzi Quatro and Chris Norman song from the late ‘70s, which was co-written and produced by another Australian, Mike Chapman.

Tetris Kelly: 

Bebe Rexha calls out G-Eazy in a now-deleted post, but she said what she said. Bebe Rexha hopped on IG to respond to texts she received asking her to make content with G-Eazy since their 2015 hit “Me, Myself and I” is seeing a resurgence. Bebe posted a screenshot of the text with the caption “G-Eazy you have my number. Why don’t you text me and ask me yourself you ungrateful loser.” She also says she could expose the bad things he’s done and how he treated her after she gave him, quote, “your only real hit.” “Me, Myself & I” is G-Eazy’s first of his two top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Bebe eventually deleted the post because she said it was negative and toxic.

I am writing this because I regret taking it down. And I want to say that I still stand by what I said.” Bebe also retweeted a photo with the caption, “Bebe Rexha and Halsey talking about how they carried G-Eazy’s career.” G-Eazy and his ex Halsey’s song “Him & I” is his third-highest-charting song on the Hot 100.
