“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.
“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.
