Mitski retains her lead on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart, while Future and Drake make major moves on the Oct. 21-dated survey.
The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity Oct. 9-15. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
Mitski’s “My Love Mine All Mine” remains at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for a second week. It’s the second song to reign for more than one week in the tally’s six-week existence, following FamousSally and YB’s “Wassup Gwayy.”

Concurrently, “My Love Mine All Mine” zooms 9-7 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, sporting a gain of 28% to 10.7 million official U.S. streams Oct. 6-12, according to Luminate. It also crowns Alternative Streaming Songs, Mitski’s first ruler there.
A pair of debuts follow Mitski, led by Future’s “Wicked,” which bows on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 at No. 2. Why is a song from Future’s 2016 Billboard 200 No. 1 album EVOL ranking so high on a chart in 2023? A dance trend soundtracked by the tune, which mostly utilizes the uploader’s hands. “Wicked” peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 2016.
Meanwhile, a brand-new song enters at No. 3: Drake’s “IDGAF,” featuring Yeat. Simultaneously debuting at No. 2 on the Hot 100 (40.8 million streams) and from the rapper’s new album For All the Dogs (No. 1 on the Billboard 200), “IDGAF” is the runaway success from the LP on TikTok, with users utilizing the sound in a variety of ways, from memes to simply discussing how much they like it.
Four Drake songs from For All the Dogs appear on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 in all, with “IDGAF” followed by “Virginia Beach” (No. 23), “First Person Shooter,” featuring J. Cole (No. 35) and “Rich Baby Daddy,” featuring SZA (No. 37).
The top TikTok Billboard Top 50 debut after Future and Drake belongs to JaidynAlexis, whose “Barbie” starts at No. 13. JaidynAlexis, with whom rapper Blueface has multiple children (the “Barbie” video was released on his YouTube channel), had not appeared on a Billboard ranking before; “Barbie,” released Oct. 2, has made waves on TikTok via a variety of lip-synching and dance clips.
The chart has also gotten into the Halloween spirit, with a pair of covers of “This Is Halloween” from The Nightmare Before Christmas bowing at Nos. 29 (The Party Cats) and 44 (Hairy & Scary Creatures).
See the full TikTok Billboard Top 50 here, including debuts from Jhene Aiko, Darell, Doja Cat and more. You can also tune in each Friday to SiriusXM’s TikTok Radio (channel 4) to hear the premiere of the chart’s top 10 countdown at 3 p.m. ET, with reruns heard throughout the week.
The Rolling Stones, we’ve learned over the years, is a juggernaut that simply can’t be stopped.
On Friday (Oct. 20), the rock ‘n’ roll legends drop Hackney Diamonds, the British band’s first new studio album or original material in 18 years.
Collaborators include Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, former bass player Bill Wyman, and, yes, Paul McCartney, creating a “supergroup” — a “dream team” — that unites arguably the two greatest bands of all time, the Beatles and the Stones.

Ahead of release, guitarist Ronnie Wood stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday (Oct. 19) to give the low-down on the new record, the followup to 2005’s A Bigger Bang.
Wood’s verdict? It rocks.
“I can say it’s about time,” he tells Fallon. “It feels so exciting. Because I’m so excited about every track on it, every track has something to say and a different direction.”
That excitement should spill over to Stones fans, even more so with confirmation that the Stones are preparing for live performances.
“We’ve been doing a little rehearsing to see how these songs translate live,” Wood explains. “And they’re really cooking.”
Hackney Diamonds includes contributions from the band’s late drummer, Charlie Watts, who died August 2021, aged 80, a blow that had many fans wondering if we’d ever see or hear again from the Stones. Wood paused to remember his former bandmate. “Some things are beyond our control,” he recounts. “Losing Charlie was one of those things.”
As previously reported, Gaga and Wonder perform on the song “Sweet Sound of Heaven,” while Elton contributes piano to “Live By the Sword.” The late Watts contributes to two of the songs.
It’s McCartney’s bass work on “Bite My Head Off” that has everyone talking, including the two-time Rock And Roll Hall of Famer.
The song is a ball of energy, reckons Wood, and Paul was “so blown away. He was a bit like a school boy, a kid in a toy shop. He loved it. He said, ‘my dreams, a Beatle gets to play on a Rolling Stones album.’”
Hackney Diamonds is the Rolling Stones’ 24th studio album. “We didn’t want to make just any record and put it out,” frontman Mick Jagger said during a live stream in London last month to present the record. “Before we went in [the studio], we said we had to make a record that we really love ourselves. We must say that we are quite pleased with it. I’m not saying we are big-headed about it, but we’re pleased with it and we hope that you all like it.”

The Rocket Man and his music was everywhere on the night, as Tiki performed Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Hawk hit “Saturday’s Alright For Fighting,” Husky performed “Bennie and the Jets,” Royal Hen tackled “Philadelphia Freedom,” and, for good measure, judge Robin Thicke performed “Tiny Dancer.”
The two celebrities with the lowest number of votes would enter the knockout. That meant Royal Hen vs. Hawk, on a rendition of “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” by Elton John and Kiki Dee.
Hawk won the battle of the birds.
Under the Royal Hen mask was Billie Jean King, the tennis legend with 39 Grand Slam titles to her name who is as well remembered for her deeds on the court as those advocacy efforts off it.
King didn’t just perform the song. It’s hers.
Elton and his career-long collaborator Bernie Taupin wrote the song in the early 1970s for King, then a member of the Philadelphia Freedoms professional tennis team.
“You guys are so awesome, thank you so much,” she said after the big reveal.
The experience, on The Masked Singer, yeah “It was great but it was so hot” under that outfit. “I’m sweating bullets”.
King also recounted the moment her friend Elton told her about the song he was writing for her. “If you go to Philadelphia, everyone is still playing it,” she said. “It’s their anthem.”
It was King who, in 1973, lobbied for equal prize money for men and women at the U.S. Open.
Through her work, Flushing Meadows became the first major tournament to offer equal prize money to both sexes. Today, all four Grand Slams offer equal prize money to women and men. King also defeated self-proclaimed chauvinist Bobby Riggs in the so-called “Battle of the Sexes” in 1973, winning in three straight sets.
For her work, King in 2009 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States’ highest civilian honor, and she’s a recipient of the 1999 Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
King as Royal Hen follow the exit door after Michael Rapaport as Pickle, Tom Sandoval as Diver, Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and Demi Lovato as Anonymouse as season 10’s unmasked celebrities.
Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy return as judges for the latest season, which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.

TikTok has launched TikTok Music, its new premium-only music streaming service, in Australia, Singapore and Mexico. The news arrives just months after the company announced its closed, beta version of the streamer for those three territories in July.
As part of the launch, TikTok Music is adding in new features like Party It (a personalized collaborative listening feature), FYP Tuning (swipable music discovery tool, letting users choose different musical scenes and moods), and Tonik (a music discovery personal assistant that is powered by Open AI’s ChatGPT).
With Tonik, users can search for an artist, track or playlist, ask about concerts and music news, learn about the stories behind the music and more.
The new streaming service has not yet made it to most of the major music markets around the world, including the U.S., but its interest in combining social media savvy with music listening could make it a strong new competitor to the established services like Spotify, Apple and Amazon as it expands worldwide.
Already, TikTok as a social platform has wielded great influence over the incumbent streamers. For example, Spotify announced earlier this year that they would integrate a new vertical, swipe-able discovery feed into their app, sparking comparisons to the short-form video app. Spotify also recently recruited some of TikTok’s most popular music influencers – like Ari Elkins and Dev Lemons – to help popularize its now-defunct live audio app, Spotify Live.
Other new features on the app include:
Sync With TikTok: sync your TikTok and TikTok Music accounts to enjoy songs from the social app
Play TikTok Hits: Stream the full versions of TikTok viral songs
Seamless Music Discovery With TikTok: Record your music discovery journey in TikTok and explore the songs in TikTok Music
Discover More Personalized Music: Swipe up and down to explore songs just for you
Discover New & Emerging Artists: Find your new favourite artist
Find Your Music Community: Express yourself through comments, enjoy behind-the-scenes stories, and connect with like-minded music lovers
Sing Along With Real-Time Lyrics: Sing and rap with built-in lyrics that play automaticallyCo-create collaborative Playlists with Friends: Making music better together
Import your Music Library: With just one click, import external playlists and play them through TikTok Music
Name That Song: identify any song you’re listening to with Song Catch
“We are pleased to publicly launch TikTok Music, a new kind of service that combines the power of music discovery on TikTok with a best-in-class streaming service. TikTok Music will make it easy for people to save, download and share their favourite viral tracks from TikTok,” says Ole Obermann, global head of music business development, TikTok. “We are excited about the opportunities TikTok Music presents for both music fans and artists, and the great potential it has for driving significant value to the music industry.”

Drake extends his record for the most No. 1s in the history of Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart, as “First Person Shooter,” featuring J. Cole, debuts atop the Oct. 21-dated tally.
The song reigns with 42.2 million official U.S. streams earned in its first week (Oct. 6-12), according to Luminate.
Drake adds his 19th leader, more than three times the amount of the next-closest acts dating to the survey’s 2013 inception; he’s followed by Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, with six apiece. Of Drake’s No. 1s, he has logged 15 in a lead role.
Most No. 1s, Streaming Songs:19, Drake6, Justin Bieber6, Taylor Swift5, Travis Scott4, Cardi B4, Miley Cyrus4, Ariana Grande4, Lil Baby
As for featured act J. Cole, “First Person Shooter” is his second Streaming Songs No. 1, following the one-week rule of “Interlude” in May 2021.
Drake now boasts four Streaming Songs rulers in 2023, with his latest preceded by “Search & Rescue” in April, Travis Scott’s “Meltdown” (on which he’s featured) in August and “Slime You Out,” featuring SZA, in September.
Drake first reigned in 2016 as featured on Rihanna’s “Work,” an eight-week No. 1 beginning that March. His first lead No. 1, “One Dance” (featuring WizKid and Kyla), followed that May.
The entire top 11 of Streaming Songs comprises songs from Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, which concurrently premieres atop the Billboard 200. “First Person Shooter” is followed by “IDGAF,” featuring Yeat, at No. 2, with 40.8 million streams.
It’s the third time that a single act has occupied the top 11 or more on Streaming Songs. Drake did so first – claiming the top 14 spots – on the Sept. 18, 2021, ranking with music from his LP Certified Lover Boy. Swift followed on Nov. 5, 2022, taking the top 13 via material from her album Midnights.
Thanks to his latest haul, Drake now boasts 96 Streaming Songs career top 10s, over double the amount of the next-closest act, Swift, with 39.
Most Top 10s, Streaming Songs:96, Drake39, Taylor Swift34, Lil Baby30, The Weeknd28, 21 Savage28, Travis Scott25, Future24, J. Cole24, Kanye West
All 23 tracks on For All the Dogs make Streaming Songs, all the way down to “Screw the World Interlude,” at No. 33, with 11.8 million streams.
As previously reported, “First Person Shooter” also starts atop the multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, becoming Drake’s 13th leader – tying him with Michael Jackson for the most leaders among solo men – and J. Cole’s first No. 1.
NBC’s The Voice has entered into the battle rounds. It’s a place where hopes are dashed, where dreams are kept alive, and where the coaches are made to suffer at decision time.

Niall Horan, who is on good form having coached the winner in his debut season, paired Lennon VanderDoes and Tanner Massey for a toe-to-toe Tuesday night (Oct. 17) to Billy Joel’s “She’s Always a Woman.”
“Wow, wow, wow, that was so incredible,” Gwen Stefani remarked at the close. “Both of you are mindblowing in your own way.” If she had to choose, she’d go with Massey.
“Really, both amazing,” John Legend said. Legend has his own connection with “She’s Always a Woman”; it’s the inspiration for “All of Me,” the “song that changed my life. And hearing you two sing it was just magical.” If he had to make the call, he’d lean “ever so slightly” toward Massey.
Reba McEntire was impressed with both contestants, especially Massey. “To be as young as you are, you’ve got great stage presence.”
There can be only one, and Horan had to wield the axe.
“I think this was always going to be a great battle with the difference in your two voices, the way Lennon can sing up there with such control and, your tone is so captivating.” Tanner, with his flares at the end of some sentences, are just “so beautiful” to hear. “This is one of those battles where I’ve been battling myself.
Horan ignored the advice of his fellow coaches and rivals, and tapped VanderDoes to progress.
The story doesn’t end there. Legend and Stefani both tried to “steal” the young talent. Another decision had to be made, this time by Massey who just minutes earlier had to cope with the bitter disappointment of rejection. He chose Team Gwen.
The popular singing competition show airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC (check your local listings for channel information). Episodes of The Voice will stream on-demand via Peacock the next day after they air on TV, but viewers can also watch live with Peacock Premium Plus.

INXS got the band back together this week, for a few hours at least, to celebrate the release of several, special new projects.
The surviving band members — Garry Gary Beers, Kirk Pengilly and brothers Andrew, Jon and Tim Farriss — gathered Tuesday (Oct. 17) at Sydney’s Intercontinental Hotel, towering over Sydney Harbour and all its famous landmarks, for a rare reunion — their first since 2017.
The chaps were relaxed and chatty as they flicked through old photos, wound back the years.

Some of those memories are preserved in Calling All Nations, a new 400-plus “love letter” created by a global fanbase and the band. UMG’s Andrew Kronfeld and Live Nation’s Arthur Fogel contributed essays.
Until the project came together, the artists had “no idea how much it meant to so many individual fans. It wasn’t always about the show,” recounts Pengilly. Those tales include deeper, shared experiences of road trips “driving six hours to meet their friends to get ready to go to the gig. And then, you know, they might just somehow meet us backstage or have an interaction and a look from one of us on stage,” and “they feel a connection. Yeah, I found it really emotional.”
Bass player Beers, now based in California, relished the chance to meet his old bandmates on home soil. He offers a different glimpse at the life of a group on the rise, and their connection with fans. “Being broke and young back in the day, we used to take up offers to go to people’s houses and eat their food. So, you got to meet a lot of people. When you look back at the book, you remember that we did matter to people, not just musically, or for successes. People helped us along in many ways.”
A partnership of Petrol Records, UMe, uDiscover Music and This Day In Music Books, Calling All Nations is available via INXS.com in three configuration — the standard “First Edition” hardback book, a limited-edition “Deluxe” boxset, and an extremely limited-edition “Super Deluxe” box, hand-signed by the members of INXS.
Also on the release slate, All Juiced Up – Part 2, a collection of nine limited edition colored vinyl 12” records featuring remixes of classic INXS songs, including “Need You Tonight,” “Listen Like Thieves” and “New Sensation,” plus the 30th anniversary edition of Full Moon Dirty Hearts, for which Giles Martin has created an exclusive, immersive audio edition; it’s due out Nov. 2.
The last time the surviving band members were in a room together, prior to this week, was for the celebration of their 40th anniversary, in 2017, when they were honored for 50 million global record sales at the State Theatre masquerade party.
Formed in Western Australia in 1977, INXS scaled the highest mountain of popular music with six U.K. top 10 albums (including a No. 1 with Welcome To Wherever You Are from 1992) and five U.S. top 20 albums, a BRIT Award (in 1991 for best international group) and, in 2001, elevation into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
The band’s journey was tragically derailed by the 1997 death of lead singer Michael Hutchence, at the age of just 37, though INXS continued with replacement singers.
In Sydney, talk turned to Hutchence, and “seventh member” Chris Murphy, who died in 2021, aged 66. “Chris was hungry,” recounts Pengilly. “He just took no prisoners”.
The question every fan, or reporter, would ask INXS is on a return to live performances. A tour, perhaps, or a one-off show at an iconic venue. The answer isn’t a flat no.
Beers put his hand up (“I really miss playing with these guys”). Tim Farriss’ fretting hand, however, isn’t what it was following a grim injury to his left ring finger back in 2015. “We loved every bit of it,” notes Pengilly of the band’s journey. “But you know, we did it all.”
INXS called time on touring in 2012, with a gig where it all started – in Perth.
“To be fair to us is that,” comments Andrew Farriss, “as people losing someone as talented, dynamic a frontman as Michael, it became really in the forefront of our minds that, okay, we’ve created this legacy and we own it. And so we’ll decide when we want to play or not. That’s the important point, to not have it dictated to what we can and can’t do when we feel like it.”
The other side of the coin, “which is appealing to me,” he adds, “is who that singer could possibly be. There must be someone that we haven’t even thought of or discovered or found it. That could be an amazing thing to happen.”
In a surprise for the band members, Universal Music Australia president Sean Warner presented INXS with global awards for four billion streams, featuring a powerful Indigenous “full moon” design. A sixth award was forged for the late Hutchence.
Much of the electronic music industry is currently en route to Amsterdam, with the genre’s biggest conference, ADE, starting tomorrow (Oct. 18.) Approximately 8,000 professionals are expected to attend.

The four-day event is, as always, putting on a dizzying number of panels and adjacent events that will take over more than 100 clubs and event spaces throughout the city. ADE 2023 is again divided into Lab and Pro programming, with Lab content tailored for people trying to get into or just starting out in the industry, while Pro programming is designed for established managers, label execs, artists, streamers, marketers, promoters and more.
While the conference is “inspiring and gets everyone together,” says ADE co-organizer Meindert Kennis, “we also focus on hands-on information … In the end, that’s what a lot of professionals are coming for, and they need to take home value for themselves or their organization. We try to implement that in all the different elements of ADE to really help the industry push itself forward.”
There will be a lot of momentum to be gleaned 170 Pro sessions happening from Wednesday to Saturday. Talks on streaming, labels, social engagement, royalties and much more will be given by execs from Spotify, YouTube, Tiktok, Beatport, TuneCore and many other organizations. After dark, the industry will flex what it does best, with musical performances by 2,900 artists both rising and established happening throughout the city.
Here, ADE organizers Kennis and Jan-Willem van de Ven share key 10 things to know about ADE 2023.
1. Over the past 15 years, ADE’s musical offerings have expanded from 33 nightclubs to, in 2023, more than 200 venues. ADE doesn’t produce all of these events themselves, but facilitates promoters from around the world utilizing these spaces while throwing parties under the ADE banner.
“The concept is that we don’t program all these events ourselves,” says van de Ven. “We help facilitate individual promoters to showcase what they know and do best.”
2. As ADE has grown to feature consumer-facing events, it’s become a platform for global festival brands to test run new concepts. This week will see 35 locations around Amsterdam hosting outdoor and big tent festival-style events.
“What you see now is a lot of concepts being tried at ADE,” says van de Ven. “It’s not a DJ showcase festival anymore, but it’s more a concept showcase festival where you’ll see a lot of concepts being tried out for the first second time. But if it works at ADE, it might work for the rest of the world.

3. As with previous editions, ADE 2023 features hundreds of panels, networking sessions, drink mixers, musical performance and other adjacent programming.
“If you’re at this panel, or at a drinks thing or another event, you’re missing out on 100 other ones,” says Kennis. “That’s difficult, but that’s also the strength of it and the reason why ADE is such a thrilling event…because it’s just too much to handle. That’s why ADE means so so many different things to so many different people, and there’s something for everyone.”
4. To help guide attendees’ schedules, ADE 2023 Pro programming is organized by three tracks: strategies, opportunities and responsibilities.
“Strategies is all about the business and the value chain,” says Kennis. “Opportunities is really for future startups like A.I. adn responsibilities, is stuff like green initiatives and [industry gender equity associations like] SheSaid.So. This way, we try to at least give people the possibility of making an efficient time schedule.”
5. These Pro and Lab tracks are designed to work in tandem. Lab programming this week includes production demos, mastering social media, music rights education and much more.
“The idea behind it was to create an ecosystem that that feeds itself,” says Kennis, “so that the young people or aspiring producers and professional needs are serviced in that way that they will be a pro visitor maybe in a few years later.”
6. Not everyone who goes to Amsterdam attends the actual conference, with many people traveling to the city simply to be around so much of the industry.
“Not everyone is buying a ticket to go to a panel,” says van de Ven. “That’s our preferred situation obviously, but at the same time, having these all these people over here doing business and creating this momentum together is is really important for us. That’s our greatest value.”
7. ADE recently received official designation as a Dutch nonprofit cultural organization. For the first time ever, the conference will hold an opening night party at the city’s Rijksmuseum, where members of the electronic music community will mingle while surrounded by the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer Van Gogh and other Dutch masters.
“There are these two cultural moguls, and Rijksmuseum are one of them, and we’re on the other one,” says van de Ven. “We can create this jaw dropping momentum, if we can have several audiences together and show the world that day culture and night culture [don’t need to be separate.] It can be one and the same. It’s going to be amazing.”

8. That cultural organization classification also helps ADE define itself in the eyes of the industry.
“A lot of people think we’re a big commercial company with huge budgets that can fly in any artist in that will fit the narrative,” says Kennis. “Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The stamp of approval of being an official nonprofit cultural organization within the Netherlands kind of helps us fight the stigma that [ADE is] money-hungry, commercial activities, which is nice.”
9. With ADE musical showcases often drawing huge crowds, organizers have developed a new tool that will help attendees figure out what venues are at capacity.
This in-app feature will allow people to “look at every festival location on a map and see if there’s room for entrance,” says van de Ven, “so people aren’t going 50 minutes by Uber” to events they can’t get into. “We’ve wanted this for many years and knew we really needed to solve this issue, so this year is going to be our pilot with 40 or 50 locations.”
10. ADE 2023 is expecting many industry professionals from the U.S., which doesn’t currently have its own dance industry conference.
“There are some parts of the world that are buying more tickets than we expected,” says van de Ven. “For example, Australia’s quite big this year, and there a lot of people coming from the United States.”
While the moon eclipsing the sun up in the heavens will serve a the event’s primary headliner, Texas Eclipse 2024 has today (Oct. 17) dropped the lineup for all the artists that will play in honor of this celestial event.
