Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of October 2024. The ranking includes newly released films from the preceding three months.
“Memories” leads a sweep of the top two spots on Top Movie Songs for Venom: The Last Dance, which was released Oct. 25 and is the first film in the series since 2021’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The song earned 8.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams in October 2024, plus 1,000 downloads sold, according to Luminate.
Trending on Billboard
Released in 2019, “Memories” is Maroon 5’s most recent top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 2 in January 2020.
It’s followed by Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” from 1978’s Jazz, allowing Venom: The Last Dance to become the first film to occupy the top two of the chart, coming in its second month of existence. Bee Gees’ “Tragedy” from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice led the inaugural ranking, followed by Taylor Swift’s “My Tears Ricochet” from It Ends With Us.
Speaking of It Ends With Us, Post Malone’s “White Iverson” (13.3 million streams) ranks at No. 3. It’s followed by Jungle’s “Back on 74” at No. 4. “Back on 74,” with 8.1 million streams and 1,000 downloads, was featured in Netflix’s Lonely Planet, released Oct. 11. It’s the first time a movie that premiered on a streaming service reaches the chart, as the films represented on the September 2024 tally all had theatrical releases.
A pair of songs from Maren Morris released as part of Dreamworks’ The Wild Robot also make the chart, with “Kiss the Sky” (No. 6; 1.4 million streams, 1,000 downloads) and “Even When I’m Not” (No. 9; 790,000 streams, 1,000 downloads) representing the second and third chart appearances for animated films, after Transformers One made the September 2024 list with Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign and ARE WE DREAMING’s “If I Fall.”

From Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande’s long-awaited Wicked songs to Lil Nas X’s latest single, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below.
Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande “Defying Gravity”
Sure, we could put the entirety of the new Wicked soundtrack on this list, but there is something to Cynthia Erivo’s performance of the undisputed queer anthem “Defying Gravity” that just deserves some special recognition here. Her voice is incredible, her acting is off the charts, and she sells every second of this song alongside Grande’s gorgeous supporting vocals. Especially in the song’s famous final minute, Erivo gives her all for “Defying Gravity,” making this an absolute must-listen for theater fans and skeptics alike.
Trending on Billboard
Lil Nas X, “Need Dat Boy”
As he proved on Montero standout “Sun Goes Down,” Lil Nas X is phenomenally good at stripping things back to get to the personal core of a song. “Need Dat Boy” starts out in that exact contemplative mode, with Lil Nas showing off his consistently-growing vocals as he croons about looking for inspiration. And when the bridge kicks in, Lil Nas turns the heat up as he lets the object of his desire know exactly what he’d like to do to him. It’s a fitting amalgamation of the rapper/singer’s multitude of talents, packed into a 3-minute track you’ll want to hear.
Omar Apollo feat. Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, “Te Maldigo”
Give Omar Apollo a guitar and a microphone and he will make sweet music for you. On “Te Maldigo” (which translates to “I Curse You”) from the upcoming Luca Guadagnino film Queer, Apollo sings a lonesome ballad of heartbreak and betrayal, asking why his former flame couldn’t show him the love he deserved. “My heart, without you, does not beat,” he sings in Spanish on the song’s second verse. “What a cruel world/ Where you don’t love me.”
Various Artists, Transa
In a time when trans people everywhere are scared for the future, Red Hot decided to give the community something hopeful. Transa, the organization’s expansive new compilation album, pairs trans icons and allies throughout its massive three and a half hour journey, reflecting on the nature of transness itself. With featured stars like Adrienne Lenker, Moses Sumney, Anohni, Sam Smith, Beverly Glenn Copeland and dozens more, Transa makes sure to never boil down the trans experience into a single, simplistic message — just like the community it serves, this album is as expansive as the universe itself.
Rahim Redcar (Christine and the Queens), “It’s Okay to Cry (Hôtel Pour SOPHIE)”
It would have been easy for Rahim Redcar (the newly-adopted stage name for Christine and the Queens) to offer a simple, largely-unchanged cover of legendary producer SOPHIE’s classic song “It’s Okay to Cry.” But that wouldn’t be like him, after all. Instead, Redcar takes the affirming track and strips it down to its molecular level, building it back up into something completely new that still manages to honor the legacy of the iconic artist who brought it into the world in the first place.

Martin Garrix, “Told You So”
Dutch mainstay Martin Garrix links with New Jersey-born singer/songwriter Jex for the sugary dance pop single “Told You So.” As the duo tell it, the track — out on STMPD RCRDS/Eddie O Entertainment/Casablanca Records — has origins in TikTok, where Jex posted a video of her singing the song’s hook. Garrix then reached out to ask about doing the production, with the result being his eighth single of 2024. Of the track, Jex says that “from writing this hook alone in my apartment, to Martin finding it and bringing it to life, this entire thing has been a dream come true.” Garrix plays Omnia in Las Vegas tonight and Marquee in Las Vegas tomorrow.
Subtronics & Alison Wonderland, “No One Does It Like”
Bass leaders Subtronics and Alison Wonderland join forces together for their collaborative track “No One Does It Like,” with the result being as hard, sharp and heavy as you might hope. Out on Subtronics’ own Cyclops Recordings, the song is pure-riding-the-rail dubstep and follows the pair’s work on their remix of Creeds’ “Push Up.” Alison Wonderland performs this weekend in Las Vegas, while Subtronics will play the Apocalypse Festival in Long Beach, Calif. on Nov. 30.
Rusko, “Wassup”
The British bass pioneer returns with his first solo single in two and a half years, the frenetic “Wassup.” Out on Monstercat Uncaged, the track is deliciously unhinged jump up d’n’b and also the lead single from an EP set to drop next year. The producer says “Wassup” was started last year on tour in Australia “and ever since, has been a puzzle I couldn’t quite crack and get just right… but it’s always been stuck in my head. After adding ‘Wassup’ into my DJ sets, I had an earth-shattering break-through, and within the first couple of nights spinning the tune, it was finished!”
Above & Beyond, “Another Breakdown”
The gentlemen of Above & Beyond are having a big week, as the trio was listed on the Coachella 2025 posted that dropped Wednesday, the day before the group released “Another Breakdown.” The track’s celestial production has the same thoughtful quality that defines the entire Above & Beyond oeuvre, and is also infused with the soaring trance elements that are the trio’s signature. Another Breakdown comes from Above & Beyond’s forthcoming EP Tranquility Base Vol. 2, coming December 6 on their own Anjunabeats label.
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Joe Goddard, Neptunes EP
Los Angeles-based producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & U.K. producer, DJ (and Hot Chip member) Joe Goddard get together for their gorgeous three-track collaborative EP, Neptunes. A no-skips situation, the EP (which also includes two remixes) has a stunner of an opening track, with the pair saying that “Neptunes” stems from Goddard’s wish to make a song reminiscent of Pharrell and Chad Hugo’s game-changing production work as Neptunes. “I loved what the rhythm made me feel when I first heard it,” Smith says of the track. “I actually thought he was tapping into Neptune as a planet, and the qualities I felt it possesses. So my side of things brought out more space-themed sounds as a result.” The project is out on Domino’s Smugglers Way imprint.
Dave Mackay, The Looking Chamber
The English pianist, keyboardist and composer takes a turn into electronic production, with affecting results. His 11-track debut album, The Looking Chamber, is smart and stylish experimental synth music, that emphasizes Mackay’s ability to make music that sounds like the machines employed in the production process are actually speaking. The album is out on Colorfield Records.
