1. “Earrings” by Malcolm Todd

“Earrings” rises three places to number one after 22 weeks on the chart. Released in 2024, the sleeper hit found a new audience through TikTok, where it became a popular soundtrack for romance edits and covers.

The song has also faced scrutiny. Spotify previously removed more than 500,000 streams it identified as artificial, concerned that prediction markets traders pushed it to the top. There is no evidence that Todd or his team was involved. 

Todd’s profile has also grown through a busy festival season. His August set at Outside Lands drew a strong crowd response to “Earrings”, while wider coverage of his parallel rise with his sister, singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert, has kept both artists in the conversation.

2.“Loser” by Tame Impala

“Loser” holds at number two for a second week. The song arrived as part of Tame Impala’s Deadbeat, which ended a five-year gap between studio albums.

Its distinctive video, starring actor and musician Joe Keery, helped give the release a wider pop-culture hook. The track also reflects Kevin Parker’s move towards club music inspired by the rave scene in Western Australia, giving longtime listeners something noticeably different to revisit.

3.“Dai Dai” by Shakira and Burna Boy

“Dai Dai” falls from number one to number three, but its run is still closely tied to this year’s World Cup. The Shakira and Burna Boy collaboration was released as the official song of the 2026 soccer tournament and later featured during the final.

Its mix of Latin pop and Afrobeats, along with a viral dance routine, helped the song travel well beyond the soccer tournament itself. The track has now spent 14 weeks on the chart.

4.“Beauty And A Beat” by Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj

Fourteen years after its original release, “Beauty And A Beat” returns as one of this week’s top songs. The track slips one place to number four but extends its chart streak to 20 weeks.

Its comeback gathered pace after Justin Bieber performed it during his 2026 Coachella headline set. Clips spread across TikTok and Instagram, bringing a wave of 2010s nostalgia and introducing the song to listeners who were too young to remember its first run.

5.“Self Aware” by Temper City

Temper City climbed one place to number five with their debut single “Self Aware”. The indie-rock track first took off through a TikTok teaser, with its story of recognising the warning signs in a toxic relationship giving users an easy theme for their own videos.

That online momentum has developed into a broader breakthrough for the previously unknown trio. The band is now preparing more singles and a debut album, giving the song another reason to remain visible.

6.“The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry

Katy Perry’s 2011 single drops one place to number six, but its return is one of the chart’s clearest examples of an old song finding a new audience. TikTok named it its global and US Song of the Summer for 2026.

The resurgence has also coincided with Perry performing the song on her Lifetimes Tour and featuring it in a new concert film released in cinemas on September 2. Together, those moments have turned a familiar catalogue track into a current hit again.

7.“Babydoll” by Dominic Fike

“Babydoll” edges up to number seven and has now spent 30 weeks on the chart. Released on Fike’s 2018 EP Don’t Forget About Me, Demos, the track began a much bigger revival on TikTok earlier this year.

Its short running time, looping guitar and confessional lyrics made it a natural fit for video edits. Fike and Columbia Records responded by rereleasing it as a single, helping turn a fan favourite into a mainstream streaming hit.

8.“BbY WOW” by KAROL G, Judeline and rusowsky

No song has moved faster this week. “BbY WOW” jumps 36 places to number eight in only its second week on the chart.

The collaboration appears on KAROL G’s surprise album No me arrepiento de sentir tanto and brings together her global audience with two names from Spain’s experimental pop scene. Its rapid spread on TikTok has been central to the rise, while Judeline has become the first Spanish woman to lead Spotify’s global daily ranking.

9.“hate that i made you love me” by Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande’s “hate that i made you love me” moves down two places to number nine after 13 weeks on the chart. The song introduced Petal, Grande’s eighth studio album, and reunited her with longtime collaborators Ilya and Max Martin.

Interest has remained high as Grande completed the London leg of her Eternal Sunshine Tour and announced that she would step back from public life after the run.

10.“SWIM” by BTS

“SWIM” rounds out the top 10 after 23 weeks on the chart. The song led BTS’s full-group comeback with ARIRANG, their first album since all seven members completed their military service.

The comeback gave the track an immediate global audience, while the group’s world tour has kept it active months after release.
