Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” surged to the top of the global Spotify chart this past week with over 6 million daily streams, marking its first-ever number-one finish 43 years after release. The spike stems directly from sustained box-office momentum for the Antoine Fuqua-directed biopic “Michael,” which has reignited catalog streams and pushed the track well ahead of new releases. Drake’s recent drops—“Janice STFU,” “Ran to Atlanta,” and “Make Them Cry”—sit in the mid-single digits as traders weigh whether their first-week streaming totals can close the gap before the May 22 weekly chart locks. Historical patterns show catalog revivals often hold strong through the following week, leaving little room for the lower-probability challengers unless a major promotional push materializes.
