\t\tBieberchella Not Over Yet: Justin\u2019s Streams Still Going Up Several Days After Headlining Set\t<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard reported on Tuesday<\/a> that Justin Bieber<\/a> enjoyed the biggest streaming day of his 2026 on Sunday (Apr. 12) \u2014\u00a0following his much-buzzed-about headlining set<\/a> at Coachella, where he mostly performed songs off his Swag album, outside of a mid-set run of playing his old songs on YouTube and singing over them. He amassed 24.6 million streams that day, his highest total since July 18, 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWell, the 12th\u2019s run as The Bieb\u2019s biggest day of the year lasted all the way to the 13th. On that Sunday, Bieber\u2019s official on-demand U.S. streams increased to just over 29 million \u2014 a gain of around 20%, according to early data provided by Luminate. And then sure enough, the 13th handed the title to the 14th, as his catalog racked up 30.9 million that Monday, a 7% gain. (All in all, his streams are up 314% from Apr. 5, when he notched under 7.5 million total daily streams, with that number increasing every day since.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBieber\u2019s Swag songs are obvious beneficiaries from the bump, since that\u2019s the album he drew the majority of his set from. His two big hit singles from the LP, \u201cDaisies\u201d and \u201cYukon,\u201d have both seen their streams double in the three days following his Coachella appearance (Apr. 12-14) from the equivalent period the week before (Apr. 5-7), with the former up 138% to 4.6 million streams and the latter up 109% to 4.3 million. (The full Swag album has amassed a combined 21.6 million streams over that period, a 208% gain from the week before.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBut his back catalog is seeing some massive gains as well. \u201cBaby,\u201d his 2010 national breakthrough alongside Ludacris, is up 220% to 3.7 million streams over that same period, while \u201cConfident,\u201d his fan-favorite 2013 collab with Chance the Rapper, has spiked 270% to 3.2 million. And the biggest bump of all was reserved for his Believe-era 2012 Nicki Minaj teamup \u201cBeauty and a Beat,\u201d which has racked up a jaw-dropping 5.1 million streams over that time period \u2014 a 390% gain \u2014\u00a0while even entering the top five on both the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA chart and Apple Music\u2019s real-time songs listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAll in all, the bump Bieber is seeing off his Coachella headlining set is more akin to the gains usually seen by recent halftime headliners at the Super Bowl \u2014 and not even all of them have seen spikes like this. It should have a fascinating impact on the rest of Bieber\u2019s 2026, and may very well result in him being a major presence on the Billboard charts next week. \u2013\u00a0ANDREW UNTERBERGER<\/p>\n

\t\tDon\u2019t Forget About the Other Coachella Headliners: Sabrina Carpenter & Karol G Also See Catalog Gains\t<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Justin Bieber dominated the headlines and the streaming charts following his much-anticipated, internet-captivating Coachella comeback performance, he was of course just one of three headliners the festival greeted last weekend. The other two, Sabrina Carpenter <\/a>and Karol G<\/a>, have not posted streaming gains as unprecedented as Bieb\u2019s, but have also seen their catalogs trend up as a result of their performances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tCarpenter, who headlined on Friday<\/a> \u2014\u00a0as she predicted she would back when she performed at the fest in 2024, as she closed her \u201cNonsense\u201d performance with \u201cCoachella, see you back here when I headline\u201d \u2014\u00a0totaled nearly 50 million streams over the four day period following her set (Apr. 11-14), according to early data provided by Luminate, up 40% from the same period the week before. Her Man\u2019s Best Friend album (including new single \u201cHouse Tour,\u201d which she kicked off her set with) was responsible for 23.1 million of those streams, up 58% from the prior week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Karol G, who closed out the weekend as the Sunday night headliner, totaled nearly 15.9 million streams across the two days following her set (Apr. 13-14), up 51% from her catalog streams the same period the prior week. Of those nearly 16 million streams, 5.1 million were for songs from her 2025 album Tropicoqueta, which her set pulled from heavily \u2014 a gain of 67% from the previous week.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd outside of the headliners, some other buzzy acts saw modest streaming gains: KATSEYE, whose Friday set on the Sahara stage was nearly as hyped (and as packed) as Carpenter\u2019s Coachella Stage performance, posted 21.6 million streams in the four days following its performance, up 74% from the previous period. (Much of that was also due to the Thursday debut of new single \u201cPinky Up\u201d; not counting that song, its catalog was up 17% to 15 million.) And Slayyyter, the rising dance-pop artist whose Worst Girl in America album recently became her first Billboard No. 1<\/a> after debuting atop Dance Albums, racked up 5.7 million streams in the four days following her Friday performance, a 15% gain from the week before. \u2013 AU<\/p>\n

\t\tHow Much Did Streams Increase for Alicia Keys\u2019 \u2018Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart\u2019 After \u2018The Drama\u2019 Synch?\u00a0\t<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Drama, A24\u2019s subversive, Kristoffer Borgli-helmed romantic black comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, has emerged as one of the buzziest films of the year \u2014 and its soundtrack is benefitting from all the chatter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAmongst a soundtrack primarily comprised<\/a> of \u201850s and \u201870s folk tunes, Alicia Keys<\/a>\u2019 2009 fan favorite \u201cTry Sleeping with a Broken Heart\u201d immediately struck a chord with audiences during the film\u2019s wedding portrait shoot scene. Naturally, the scene both introduced the song to those unfamiliar and triggered key memories for those who grow up with it, leading to impressive streaming gains. According to early data provided by Luminate, \u201cTry Sleeping\u201d collected 201,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the five-day period including The Drama\u2019s theatrical debut (April 3-7). A week later (April 10-14), that figure jumped 36% to just under 275,000 official streams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNotably, \u201cTry Sleeping\u201d was already posting small increases over the past two and a half months. The biggest trigger happened to be Keys, who shared a sweet clip of she and Karol G belting out an impromptu duet<\/a> of the song during the Latin pop sensation\u2019s Con Cora Land Benefit Gala on March 22. A few weeks before that clip hit social media (Feb. 13-19), \u201cTry Sleeping\u201d logged 171,000 official on-demand U.S. weekly streams. A few weeks after the video made the rounds (April 3-9), the song leapt 80% to over 310,000 official weekly streams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSome might argue that \u201cUn-Thinkable\u201d slightly overshadowed \u201cTry Sleeping\u201d back in 2009-2010, but now the latter can enjoy its day in the sun all by itself. \u2014 KYLE DENIS\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tWhy Is Village People\u2019s \u2018In the Navy\u2019 Trending Again?\u00a0\t<\/p>\n

\n\tVillage People is popping off on streaming \u2014 and it\u2019s not because of their classic \u201cYMCA\u201d anthem. \u201cIn the Navy,\u201d their other 1979 Hot 100 top five hit (No. 3), is back in rotation thanks to the coalescing of two TikTok meme challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Feb. 24, TikTok user @\/brenton_kerr<\/a> posted a TikTok animatedly dancing to \u201cIn the Navy,\u201d and his eccentric style earned the clip nearly 11 million views and over 1.5 million likes. Two other trends were brewing at the same time. First, more users were posting about the proliferation<\/a> of propaganda<\/a> on American TikTok in the wake of the Iran War; second, a push-up-centric fitness challenge<\/a> set to Timbaland and Fatman Scoop\u2019s \u201cDrop\u201d was steadily growing. Eventually, these trends folded into each other, resulting in a push up challenge set to the chorus of \u201cIn the Navy,\u201d with users jokingly pointing out how prepared (or not) they are should they be drafted into the war. While some users picked up on the song\u2019s sexual innuendo, that wasn\u2019t the case for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe week before user @\/brenton_kerr\u2019s post (Feb. 13-19), \u201cIn the Navy\u201d pulled just 52,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. Over the past two months, that figure exploded an eye-popping 1,668% to over 927,000 official on-demand U.S. streams last week (April 3-9), according to Luminate. On TikTok, the official \u201cIn the Navy\u201d sound<\/a> plays in nearly 2,000 posts; an unofficial sound<\/a> can be heard in another 32,000 clips, and\u00a0 the unofficial sound<\/a> playing in @\/Brenton_kerr\u2019s post appears in 18,000 additional TikToks. The official sound<\/a> also plays in nearly 9,000 Instagram Reels. Village People also got in on the fun, sharing several<\/a> throwback<\/a> posts<\/a> featuring the track over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tNo matter the generation, Village People always seem to find themselves in the center of discourse that combines politics and music. \u2014 KD<\/p>\n
