Two New Year’s Eve performances are poppin’ corks on the Shazam USA Top 100, while TikTok has turned a 12-year-old Drake track into a viral hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
Getting thumbs waggin’ as 2023 gave way to 2024 were Post Malone’s rendition of “Chemical” (Mercury/Republic) on ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest and HARDY’s “TRUCK BED” (Big Loud) on CBS’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.
TikTokers, meanwhile, were busy pushing Drake’s “Practice” (YMCM/Republic), from 2011’s Take Care, up the Biggest Mover lists in the U.S. and U.K.
This week’s surprise entry is Christopher Cross’ 1981 “Arthur’s Theme” (Rhino); the Oscar winner was used in an episode of Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
