Welcome to Billboard Pro\u2019s Trending Up<\/strong> newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry\u2019s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip.\u00a0 \t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\tVictor Willis, Village People Frontman & ‘YMCA’ Cowriter, Dead at 74\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\tChart Rewind: On July 1, 2006, Taylor Swift Made Her Billboard Debut\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\tRush Forced to Postpone Two Texas Shows As Singer Geddy Lee Battles Laryngitis\/Bronchitis\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\tAlan Jackson\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n\tVery few country stars of the past 40 years have had careers more accomplished or storied than Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson, with 26 Country Airplay No. 1 hits to his name \u2014\u00a0spanning from 1991 to 2010 \u2014 as well as 11 Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits, and four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. So of course, all eyes were on Nashville\u2019s Nissan Stadium on Saturday night (June 27) as Jackson performed his \u201cLast Call: One More for the Road \u2014 The Finale\u201d concert, a star-studded, livestreamed event designed to be the 67-year-old legend\u2019s farewell to performing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAnd of course, whether inspired by the concert experience or upset to have missed out on it, streaming audiences flocked to Jackson\u2019s catalog in the days following the concert. Between the two days after the June 27 show, Jackson\u2019s discography combined for over 8.1 million official on-demand streams, according to Luminate \u2014\u00a0a 32% gain over the 6.2 million streams his work amassed across the equivalent period the prior week (June 21-22). One of the biggest bumps was for the sentimental \u201cRemember When,\u201d which rose 79% to 450,000 streams over the same period.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tWhile \u201cLast Call\u201d marks Jackson\u2019s final live performance, he\u2019s not done with music in general \u2014\u00a0last Thursday, he also released his cover of Orleans\u2019 \u201870s pop-rock smash \u201cStill the One,\u201d which generated 201,000 combined streams over Sunday and Monday. \u2014\u00a0ANDREW UNTERBERGER<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tAfter scoring one of the decade\u2019s biggest TikTok-assisted viral comebacks with \u201cSure Thing,\u201d Miguel could repeat that success with \u201cDamned.\u201d A bonus track from his 2015 Wildheart<\/em> LP, \u201cDamned\u201d has been steadily rising on streaming over the past four months. After soundtracking a Chad Michael Murray fancam with over 2.6 million views (March 22), streams for \u201cDamned\u201d pulled 385,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the week of March 27-April 2, according to Luminate, marking a whopping 1,359% increase from the 26,000 streams it logged a month prior (March 3-9).\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThroughout April, \u201cDamned\u201d continued to soundtrack fancams and before-after transition videos (specifically with the song\u2019s chorus), helping the song spike to over 3.2 million official on-demand U.S. weekly streams during the period of April 23-30. On May 10, TikTok user @\/rodwavehairline shared a fanmade mashup of \u201cDamned\u201d and Brent Faiyaz\u2019s \u201cNo One Knows,\u201d which continued the song\u2019s streaming surge and TikTok virality.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThough streaming activity dipped slightly during the period of May 22-28 (2.88 million weekly streams), a viral, Camden Bop-anchored dance trend, created by users @\/nateb0310 and @\/quuuimby. By the week of June 19-25, \u201cDamned\u201d collected over 4.05 million official on-demand U.S. streams, marking an incredible 15,273% leap in streaming activity over the past 16 weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tOn TikTok, the official \u201cDamned\u201d sounds and the Brent Faiyaz remix play in a combined 6.1 million clips. While \u201cDamned\u201d wasn\u2019t the hit of the Wildheart<\/em> era \u2014 that would be a combination of \u201cCoffee\u201d and \u201cSimple Things\u201d \u2014 it could very well have its own moment in the sun, and on the charts, should its streaming resurgence continue. \u2014 KYLE DENIS<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tRising Chicago rapper-producer BabyChiefDoIt made his Hot 100 debut last year with \u201cWent West\u201d (No. 71), and he might add to that tally with \u201cGhetto Love Story.\u201d Housed on his Rise Against My Broken Odds <\/em>LP, which arrived June 12, \u201cLove Story\u201d has quickly taken over TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAfter hitting 174,000 official on-demand U.S. streams on June 22, according to Luminate, streams for \u201cLove Story\u201d rose every day for the following week, reaching 465,000 official streams on June 29. Over those seven days, streams for \u201cLove Story\u201d vaulted 166%.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tBabyChief first teased the song on TikTok with a June 9 clip shot at a roller-skating rink; featuring the entire first verse and chorus, the Miami bass-inflected song and its \u201cBaby, I just wanna dance\u201d refrain quickly won over the app. Over the past two weeks, BabyChief has scored several TikToks crossing the one million-view mark thanks to \u201cLove Story\u201d and his adorably goofy dance moves. A From the Block live performance of the song, posted on June 19, has also been making the rounds. \u201cLove Story\u201d has already surpassed 1.2 million posts on TikTok and over 2,400 posts on Instagram Reels.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tMost users have opted for the question\u2013response photoset approach to join the \u201cLove Story\u201d trend; the first picture is captioned with some version of \u201cThey always ask me why\/When somebody looks at me weird\u2026\u201d and the second picture answers with \u201cI just wanna dance.\u201d Others have chosen to caption the first slide with \u201cBaby, baby,\u201d and pair that with childhood dance videos in the second slide.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s still early in the game, but the 2026 song of the summer race just got a very strong new entry. \u2014 KD<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tIf you\u2019ve heard an Auto-Tuned vocal moaning over a throbbing synth-bass and video game-sounding electronic effects in the past few weeks, you\u2019re certainly not alone. \u201cMisery,\u201d a catchy new lament by teenage digicore artist Pupsies, has been taking over on TikTok, soundtracking emotional videos and anim\u00e9 edits and becoming an inside joke among LARPers (or at least among folks who enjoy saying \u201cLarp\u201d).\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe song has subsequently exploded on DSPs \u2014 drawing nearly 1.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams for the week ending June 25, up 1,664% from the previous week (and still rapidly climbing), according to Luminate, while also cracking the top half of Spotify\u2019s Daily Top Songs USA top 200 earlier this week. It\u2019s also been included in multiple mash-ups (and viral recommendations) with the similar sounding \u201cMeant to Be\u201d (by the artist C\u2013tsniffer), which has also been growing steadily in streams all year, up to 1.7 million streams for the same week ending June 25, up 1,079% from the tracking week eight weeks prior.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIts okay to find a new song thru social media and like it,\u201d posted Pupsies in the info on the song\u2019s SoundCloud page, \u201cdont worry about being \u2018larp\u2019 that is not a real thing!!!!!\u201d \u2013 AU<\/em><\/p>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/chart-beat\/alan-jackson-farewell-concert-streams-trending-up-1236286063\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/alan-jackson-nashville-june-27-2026-billboard-1800.jpg?w=1024″] Trending on Billboard Welcome to Billboard Pro\u2019s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry\u2019s attention.
