Cat Janice’s “Dance You Outta My Head” tops another Billboard chart, jumping 5-1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 dated Feb. 17.
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 Feb. 5-11. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50. As previously noted, titles that are part of Universal Music Group’s catalog are currently unavailable on TikTok.
“Dance You Outta My Head” continues to rise on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 as more users learn about and spread both the song and Janice’s story. The 31-year-old singer is currently in hospice care after being diagnosed with cancer, and the newly released track (Jan. 19) is dedicated to her 7-year-old son as her final song.

Janice herself has continued to post about the song’s success intermittently on TikTok, while other users post dance or lip-synch videos, raise awareness of Janice’s condition or simply use the tune to soundtrack viral moments.
Trending on Billboard
“Dance You Outta My Head” concurrently reaches the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for the first time, lifting 11-10. It earned 5,000 downloads Feb. 2-8, good enough for its first week at No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales list, and 1.2 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
Below Janice, Cordelia’s “Little Life” lifts to a new peak of No. 2 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50. The tune has been in the top 10 of the chart for the last five weeks, reaching new heights thanks to a trend in which users say they’re eating half of a food item, but do so in increasingly convoluted ways.
Rich Amiri’s “One Call,” the previous chart’s No. 2, and Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me,” the prior list’s ruler, fall to Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. They’re ahead of the debuting Coldplay classic “Yellow,” which enters the ranking at No. 5. Recent top-performing videos for the song, a No. 48 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the band in 2001, include footage from Coldplay’s Asian tour as well as a viral upload of a pair of fans getting married to the track.
Concurrent with its debut on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart (No. 38), YG Marley’s “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” reaches the TikTok Billboard Top 50’s top 10 for the first time, vaulting 20-9. The grandson of Bob Marley first found success with the track on TikTok after performing it during mother Lauryn Hill’s concerts late last year, which preceded its eventual release that December.
Recent activity using “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” often covers dance trends as well as users pointing out Marley’s heritage, fitting timing given the release of the new Bob Marley biopic Bob Marley: One Love, which premiered in the U.S. Feb. 14.
“Praise Jah in the Moonlight” jumps 74-60 on the Hot 100 via a 33% boost in streams to 8.3 million total.

Streams and sales of Usher’s sizable catalog of music rose amid and following his performance at the halftime show of Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.
From Feb. 11-12, consumption of Usher’s music totaled 35.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams, up 46% from 24.6 million between Feb. 9-10, according to initial reports to Luminate.
Additionally, his music accumulated 27,000 downloads Feb. 11-12, a 210% jump after accruing 9,000 Feb. 9-10.
The gains come despite higher-than-usual totals for the singer on streaming services thanks not just to buzz around his performance, but also the premiere of Coming Home, Usher’s ninth studio album, which was released on Feb. 9. Comparing the two-day period of Feb. 11-12 to the Sunday-Monday stretch of a week before (Feb. 4-5), the percentage gain is even higher – 299%, up to 35.9 million from 9 million. Download-wise, it’s a leap of 1,685% from 2,000 downloads to 27,000.
Leading the way is “Yeah!,” featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris, which accumulated 4.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams Feb. 11-12. That’s up 105% from Feb. 9-10, when the song earned 2.3 million streams.
Some of Usher’s biggest gainers were, like “Yeah!,” performed during the halftime show. The same can be said for “My Boo,” Usher’s duet with Alicia Keys (who made a cameo during the medley). The tune vaults 158% to 3 million streams Feb. 11-12, up from 1.2 million the previous two days.
“Love in This Club” (which features Jeezy) follows with 2.4 million streams Feb. 11-12, a 147% boost from 961,000, and then comes “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” (featuring Pitbull) via 2.1 million streams, up 83% from 1.2 million.
Sales-wise, “Yeah!” also paces the pack, racking up 7,000 downloads Feb. 11-12. In the previous frame of Feb. 9-10, it earned 1,000 downloads, giving the song a 424% leap.
“U Got It Bad” boasts the next highest sales count at 3,000 Feb. 11-12, a 349% jump from 1,000 Feb 9-10.
The full breadth of Usher’s catalog gains will be noted on the Billboard charts dated Feb. 24, which cover streams, sales and airplay accrued during the Feb. 9-15 tracking week.
Creepy Nuts’ “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” extends its reign over the Billboard Japan Hot 100 to three weeks on the chart released Feb. 14.
The MASHLE season 2 opener saw an increase of about 13.8% in streams from the week before, racking up a whopping 20,118,604 weekly streams and holding at No. 1 for the metric. This figure ranks fourth on the all-time list for weekly streams, following BTS’ “Butter,” YOASOBI’s “Idol” and Official HIGE DANdism’s “Subtitle.” “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” also ruled downloads with 16,450 units, up 26.7%, and karaoke soared 63-32. Overall points for the hip-hop banger have gained 14.5% from the week before.
On the chart tallying the week ending Feb. 11, seven songs in the top 10 stayed in the same position as the week before. tuki.’s “Bansanka” at No. 2 collected 2,218,839 video views (up 1.4%) to rule the metric for the first time, and both downloads and streaming for the poignant ballad remain relatively unchanged.

The figure is up by about 6.3% over the four-member boy band’s previous single, “Let Go.” The latest track also collected points in radio airplay, coming in at No. 12 for the metric.

BeyHive Re-Learns Past Country ‘Lessons’ Following New Single Releases
[embedded content]
When Beyoncé unexpectedly returned on Sunday night (Feb. 11) by surprise-releasing two new singles, “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages,” during the Super Bowl, fans were greeted with a pair of country music tracks that seemingly preview the cowboy-hat nature of her upcoming album, Act II. However, longtime Bey fans were quick to point out that the new songs were not, of course, not Beyoncé first country music foray — after all, 2016’s Lemonade was highlighted by “Daddy Lessons,” a rip-roaring jamboree that eventually received a remix and CMA Awards performance with the Chicks.
Trending on Billboard
As both “Texas Hold ’Em” and “16 Carriages” get off to hot starts — on their first full day on streaming services, the tracks respectively earned 4.32 million and 2.66 million U.S. on-demand streams, according to Luminate — fans have also returned to “Daddy Lessons” and helped the nearly eight-year-old track receive new life. On Feb. 12, the song earned 160,000 streams, up a whopping 370% from the previous Monday (34,000 streams). We’ll find out on Mar. 29 how much of Act II actually resembles the sonic makeup of “Daddy Lessons,” but until then, expect its streams to stay elevated as fans prepare for Queen Bey’s country era. — JASON LIPSHUTZ
Alicia Keys & Lil Jon Hits Also Boosted by Usher-Headlined Halftime
[embedded content]
Usher’s well-received and widely viewed – like, 129-million-plus wide – halftime show at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday night (Feb. 11) has of course had a profound effect on consumption of the R&B superstar’s back catalog. We’ll have exact numbers on Mr. Raymond’s post-SB stats to come later on Billboard, but suffice to say he is up fairly dramatically in song sales and streams following his performance, with classics like “Yeah!” and “My Boo” even threatening Billboard Hot 100 re-entrances next week. But he’s not the only artist seeing gains from the halftime extravaganza.
Alicia Keys, who joined the set primarily to display her vocal and on-stage chemistry with her old duet partner on “My Boo,” also offered a chorus of her own solo 2004 smash ballad “If I Ain’t Got You,” with Usher joining in harmonies at the end. The song consequently racked up 889,000 official on-demand U.S. streams over that Sunday and the following Monday – up nearly 59% from the 560,000 streams it posted over the equivalent two-day period the prior week, according to Luminate. The song also grew in digital sales over the same period, from a negligible amount to nearly 700 copies. (We’ll have to wait to see what impact Keys’ “Got You” performance going viral on Tuesday for less-than-desirable reasons will have on its consumption the rest of the week.)
Meanwhile, Usher’s “Yeah!” collaborator Lil Jon also got his own spotlight moment before being joined by the set’s headliner, leading the crowd in shouts of the timeless refrain to his and DJ Snake’s club perennial, “Turn Down for What.” The song rose 83% in streams from Feb. 5-6 (217,000) to Feb. 12-13 (398,000) and saw an even more pronounced rise in sales, going from a negligible amount to over 1,000 copies. Former Usher collaborators from Gucci Mane to Ella Mai are probably looking at those numbers this week wondering what they gotta do to get the call next time. – ANDREW UNTERBERGER
Super Bowl ‘Wicked’ Trailer Starring Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Spurs Soundtrack Streaming Gains
[embedded content]
During the first batch of Super Bowl commercials on Sunday night (Feb. 11), viewers were treated to the first look at Wicked – the forthcoming Jon M. Chu-helmed movie musical based on the fourth-longest-running show in Broadway history. The new film adaptation of the story of Elphaba (Erivo) and Galinda (Grande) hits theaters on Nov. 27, 2024, but fans are already flocking to the existing Broadway cast soundtracks to feed their anticipation.
On the Monday preceding the Super Bowl (Feb. 5), the official combined tally for songs on the original 2003 Wicked cast recording and the 15th anniversary 2018 edition clocked in at 365,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. By the Monday following the Big Game (Feb. 12), that number rose by a whopping 93.6% to 705,000 official on-demand streams. Expect those numbers to continue trending up as the trailer continues to make the rounds in the months leading up to the film’s theatrical release. With Erivo’s take on the “Defying Gravity” riff already going viral, and Grande’s imminent Eternal Sunshine album poised to make a sizable splash, all eyes are on the Wicked ladies as Thanksgiving 2024 draws nearer. – KYLE DENIS
Old Kanye West Song Benefits From Being Sampled on New Kanye West Song
[embedded content]
“Hell of a Life” was not supposed to appear in sampled form on “Carnival,” the breakout track from Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s new collaborative project Vultures 1: a live version of Black Sabbath’s iconic “Iron Man” riff was originally supposed to be lifted into the song, but Ozzy Osbourne refused to clear the sample and sent West a very public cease-and-desist. The fuzzed-out riff from “Hell of a Life,” an album cut from West’s iconic 2010 LP My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, turned into Plan B, and as “Carnival” continues gobbling up streams, “Hell of a Life” has earned a bit of a resurgence as well.
On Monday and Tuesday of this week (Feb. 12-13), “Hell of a Life” earned 96,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, a 54% spike from the same period during the previous week, according to Luminate. Of course, that total pales in comparison to that of “Carnival,” which earned 10.9 million streams between Sunday and Tuesday, and remains entrenched atop daily U.S. streaming charts. Maybe West will sample “Carnival” for a song on Vultures II and create a trickle-down effect on his streaming catalog. – JL
Duke Star Jared McCain’s TikToks Make a Streaming Smash Out of “2 Days Into College”
[embedded content]
Before his fiery first year at Cameron Indoor Stadium alongside his fellow Blue Devils on Duke University’s men’s basketball team, Jared McCain was a TikTok favorite. Now a key player on one of the most popular college sports teams in the country, McCain boasts over 2.4 million followers on TikTok – and his massive audience on the platform has helped turn Irish singer-songwriter Aimee Carty’s “2 Days Into College” into a verifiable streaming hit.
According to Luminate, “2 Days Into College” earned a little over 50,000 official on-demand streams during the period of Jan. 18-25. Over the next week (Jan. 26-Feb. 1), that number exploded by a mind-boggling 4,319% to 2.23 million on-demand streams. Over Feb. 2-8, streams again improved by a further 101%, good enough for just under 4.5 million on-demand streams. McCain first used the song on TikTok in a Jan. 25 post captioned, “Post workout jingles [Aimee Carty] was elite with this.” The post currently holds over 1.1 million likes and 9 million views, while the clip’s official sound features McCain’s very own a cappella cover of the song. Five days later he posted another clip – soundtracked by a mashup of his cover and Carty’s original track – that garnered one million likes and 10.2 million views. Feb. 2 brought yet another TikTok with the mashup playing in the background, and by Feb. 7, McCain was posting TikToks to a Jersey club remix of “2 Days Into College.”
That remix – created by TikTok user @prodbyraesam (Feb. 3) — currently boasts over 12,800 posts on TikTok, while an official sound for Carty’s song is not currently available on the platform. Nonetheless, Carty’s Dec. 6, 2023, TikTok previewing “College” has collected 4.1 million likes and 28 million views to date. The fast-rising singer-songwriter has even acknowledged McCain’s impact on the song’s success, dueting one of his TikToks to the tune of 3.7 million views and 361,400 likes.
As of Feb. 10, “2 Days Into College” is officially Aimee Carty’s Billboard chart debut. The song debuted at No. 22 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 (chart dated Feb. 10) and at No. 5 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 (dated Feb. 17). Carty also makes her first appearance on the Feb. 17 Emerging Artists chart, at No. 32. — KD
Season’s Gainings: Fans Will Always Love Whitney’s National Anthem on Super Bowl Sunday
[embedded content]
Reba McEntire’s “Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl LVIIII: pretty good! No complaints. But as far as all-time versions of the anthem go, it’s entirely likely that none at the Big Game will ever touch Whitney Houston’s XXV rendition in 1991, a version mighty enough to lift the nation’s Gulf War-era spirits and chart on the Hot 100 multiple times. Also one good enough for fans to play annually on (or after) Super Bowl Sunday: Houston’s rendition racked up 14,000 combined official on-demand U.S. streams over Feb. 12-13, a 52% gain from the equivalent period the week before that, according to Luminate. – AU

Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures 1 (YZY): Kanye’s and Ty Dolla’s long-awaited and much-delayed – can just assume both of those descriptors with any Ye-related release at this point – collaborative new LP Vultures 1 is the former’s first wide release on his new independent label YZY. The 16-track effort features appearances from big-name collaborators like Travis Scott, Playboi Carti and Chris Brown – though none are actually credited on the feature-less tracklist – as well as a guest vocal from Ye’s 10-year-old daughter North on “Talking.” (It also features an interpolation of Donna Summer’s disco classic “I Feel Love” on “Good (Don’t Die),” which the Summer estate has decried as unauthorized.)
The album was originally supposed to debut on Friday, after a Chicago listening event, but ultimately trickled out (with a false start or two) on streaming services over Saturday. The incomplete first tracking week for the set – with only five full days of consumption – will likely dampen its opening numbers a little, as will its lack of physical availability, as the album is not yet available for purchase on CD or vinyl. (The set also has received muted support on many top Spotify playlists for an album of its buzz, likely due to past and ongoing Ye-related controversies.)
Trending on Billboard
However, with high anticipation for the set (as Ye always seems to garner, regardless of his real-life backlash), it should still do fairly sizeable streaming numbers. As of Wednesday, it still claimed four songs in the top 10 on Spotify’s US Daily Top 200 and five in Apple Music’s real-time top 10, with its “Carnival” leading both listings. Given Kanye’s history on the Billboard 200 – which boasts 10 No. 1 albums, including controversy-embroiled more recent releases like 2019’s JESUS IS KING and 2021’s Donda – it would be foolish to bet against him finding similar success with Vultures.
Usher, Coming Home (Mega/Gamma): Coming Home represents a number of firsts for Usher: His first album of the 2020s, his first through independent record label Mega (in partnership with the Larry Jackson-founded alternative distributor Gamma) and his first since being minted as a Super Bowl headliner. Technically, the set debuted two days before the Big Game, but the album will undoubtedly be boosted by the added exposure of the most-watched halftime performance in SB history – even though the pop&B superstar didn’t actually perform any songs from the new album, opting to stick to a set of more-established classics.
Nonetheless, Coming Home does arrive with some built-in success: “Good Good,” the album’s lead single alongside next-gen ATLiens Summer Walker and 21 Savage, has previously reached No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, already his biggest hit on the chart in a decade. The set features additional collabs with hitmakers Latto, Burna Boy, H.E.R. and Jung Kook (on a previously released remix of the latter’s top 5 Hot 100 hit “Standing Next to You”). All of these should help streams of the set — and sales are also expected to be robust, with Coming Home available on CD, in five different vinyl variants, and through both CD and vinyl box sets that include branded merch. (Digital editions of the album have also been heavily discounted.)
While Usher’s new album will likely be his best-performing LP this week, he should also see some major movement with his back catalog – most notably with his Billboard 200-topping 2004 juggernaut Confessions. The classic album, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, had a whopping seven tracks make its way to Usher’s halftime setlist, including the set-capping Lil Jon and Ludacris collab “Yeah!” and the much-buzzed-about Alicia Keys duet performance “My Boo.” It re-enters the top half of the 200 this week, jumping 140-92, and should make an even bigger leap next week.
Noah Kahan, Stick Season (Mercury/Republic): The weather may be warming outside – slowly – but on the Billboard 200, Stick Season may simply never end. Alt-folk singer-songwriter Noah Kahan’s breakout album, which has only grown in popularity and impact in the 16 months since its October 2022 release, has spent the entirety of post-holidays 2024 in the Billboard 200’s top 10, climbing back as high as No. 4, after having peaked at No. 3 last June following the set’s We’ll All Be Here Forever deluxe re-release.
Stick Season slips to No. 7 this week, but it may very well return to the top three once more next week, following another, even deluxer reissue of the set. This one is titled Stick Season (Forever), and features a whopping 30 tracks, including previously released Hot 100-charting collaborative remixes of Stick originals with Post Malone (“Dial Drunk”), Kacey Musgraves (“She Calls Me Back”) and Hozier (“Northern Attitude”). In addition to all of those, the set also boasts two (well, one and a half) totally unreleased cuts: the solo ballad “Forever” and the Brandi Carlile-guesting redo of We’ll All Be Here Forever fan favorite “You’re Gonna Go Far.” (All versions of the album, new and old, are combined together for tracking and charting purposes, under its original title: Stick Season.)
The new edition of the now-blockbuster set has no physical release available, but has already spurred plenty of extra streaming activity for both the original album and its previously released “new” tracks – as well as for the brand-new “Forever,” which is still in the top 50 on both Spotify and Apple Music’s daily charts.
Singer-songwriter TobyMac rolls up his 13th No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart as “Faithfully” rises to the top of the Feb. 17-dated ranking. It increased by 1% to 5.9 million audience impressions Feb. 2-8, according to Luminate. With his newest No. 1, TobyMac solely claims the most leaders among soloists since the Christian Airplay chart […]
Songs that were performed at and/or snagged wins at the 2024 Grammy Awards saw bumps in U.S. streams and sales toward the Billboard charts, resulting in multiple gains, re-entries and even debuts on the Feb. 17-dated tallies.
Perhaps no one benefited more from the Feb. 4 ceremony than Tracy Chapman, whose 1988 single “Fast Car,” as previously reported, returns to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since October of that year, re-entering at No. 42. (Older songs are eligible to appear on Billboard’s multimetric charts if in the top half and with a meaningful reason for their re-entry.)
“Fast Car,” which was performed as a duet with Luke Combs during the broadcast, earned 6 million official U.S. streams Feb. 2-8, a boost of 153%, according to Luminate. It also accumulated 35,000 digital downloads, enough to send it to No. 1 on Digital Song Sales for the first time.
Gains for Chapman’s catalog weren’t limited to “Fast Car,” though. In all, on-demand streams of Chapman’s music totaled 13.5 million, a 217% jump from 4.3 million listens Jan. 26-Feb. 1.
She also racked up 50,000 total song sales, a 5,909% boost from 1,000 Jan. 26-Feb. 1.
Chapman’s next-best-performing song, “Give Me One Reason,” hops onto Digital Song Sales at No. 15 thanks to 7,000 downloads, up 3,544%. It also earned 2.6 million streams, a leap of 40%.
Chapman’s music dots the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking as well, in addition to the appearances of “Fast Car” (No. 1) and “Give Me One Reason” (No. 3). Other entries include “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution” (No. 7; 2,000 downloads, up 5,600%), “Baby Can I Hold You” (No. 9; 2,000 downloads, up 2,557%), “Stand By Me (Live From The Late Show With David Letterman)” (No. 10; 2,000, up 4,149%) and “The Promise” (No. 15; 1,000, up 2,740%).
As previously reported, Chapman’s self-titled 1988 debut returns to the Billboard 200 with 15,000 equivalent album units earned. The set also appears on Americana/Folk Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums at Nos. 4 and 13, respectively, and her Greatest Hits reaches the former at No. 16 (7,000 units).
Chapman’s original wasn’t the only version of “Fast Car” to see chart movement. Combs’ cover rebounds to the top 10 of the Hot 100, leaping 20-8 thanks to 13.6 million streams, a gain of 26%, plus 17,000 downloads, up 1,168%.
Toward the top of the Hot 100, SZA’s “Snooze” ranks as the top-performing song affiliated with the Grammys in terms of overall streams, jumping 10-5 on the strength of 16.6 million listens, up 29%. “Snooze,” which also garnered 3,000 downloads (up 285%), was performed during the ceremony and also won for best R&B song.
Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers,” a winner for a pair of awards (including record of the year) and another tune performed during the broadcast, returns to the Hot 100’s top 10, blasting 32-10 with 11.3 million streams (a jump of 51%) and 26,000 sold (rising 2,157%). It’s Cyrus’ first time in the top 10 with the song, an eight-week No. 1 in 2023, since August.
Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?,” represented on the broadcast during a performance as well as its win for song of the year, vaults 31-20 on the Hot 100 with 9.4 million streams, up 16%, and a 300% jump in downloads to 8,000.
Overall, 14 songs performed during the Grammy broadcast or pre-telecast (which was streamed via the Grammys’ YouTube page prior to the main broadcast) were part of the top 2,000 most streamed titles in the U.S. Feb. 2-8 and had at least a 5% bump in streams for the week.
