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).
