Alek Olsen’s “Someday I’ll Get It” lands its second week atop the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while G-Eazy’s “Lady Killers II” vaults into the top three on the April 6-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 March 25-31. 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.
“Someday I’ll Get It” soared to No. 1 on the March 30 chart a week after debuting at No. 19. The track continues to be used in a trend remembering deceased pets, although other recent clips find creators reminiscing about relatives who have passed away, broken relationships and more.
In the March 22-28 Billboard multimetric chart tracking week, the song jumped 62% to 4.2 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate. It lifts 24-20 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs list dated April 6 as the chart’s top Streaming Gainer and bows at No. 12 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100’s Bubbling Under chart.
Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, a former two-week No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, rebounds 7-2, while G-Eazy’s “Lady Killers II (Christoph Andersson Remix)” makes its first appearance in the top three, jumping 8-3.
The trend for “Lady Killers II,” the original version of which was released in 2012 on G-Eazy’s album Must Be Nice, while the Andersson remix arrived on streaming services March 17, remains one in which users turn the light illuminating them on and off in sync with the song’s “make her disappear just like poof/ Then she’s gone” verse, often while on a beach.
“Lady Killers II” bows at No. 47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with 4.3 million streams in the first full week for the remix (March 22-28).
Djo’s “End of Beginning,” also a former two-week No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, falls 2-4, while Sexyy Red’s “Get It Sexyy” is one of three songs in the top 10 for the first time, blasting 12-5 in its third week on the list. The song is largely carried by a dance and lip sync trend and is Sexyy Red’s third top 10 and highest charting since “SkeeYee” was the ranking’s inaugural No. 1 last September.
Adrianne Lenker’s “Anything” jumps to a new No. 8 high and FloyyMenor and Cris Mj’s “Gata Only” rounds out the group of new top 10s, leaping 16-9. The latter’s rise is also spurred by a dance trend, while the former benefits from a theme usually captioned “that’s so pretty I’m gonna take a picture,” with the user usually then showing a significant other, pet or a pretty scene.
The week’s top debut belongs to Above & Beyond, whose rendition of New Order’s “Blue Monday” starts at No. 14. The rise of the track, originally released in 2020, comprises two similar trends: one dance-focused with creators rocking side to side, while another, with similar motions, features users squaring off as if they’re fighters in an arcade game.
Next among debuts, Artemas’ “I Like the Way You Kiss Me” arrives at No. 19. The song was teased on TikTok for weeks prior to its March 19 release, helping spark its debut on multiple charts, including the Hot 100, where it’s Artemas’ first entry (No. 70).
