The success of the 2026 Michael Jackson biopic has fueled a sharp surge in catalog streams, propelling “Billie Jean” to its first-ever Global Spotify number-one with more than six million daily streams and positioning it as the clear market favorite for the week of May 22. This 43-year-old track’s unprecedented run reflects broad cultural resonance and renewed interest across generations, outpacing fresh releases from Drake and others. Traders see limited room for an upset unless a major new single achieves explosive early traction or the biopic momentum fades before the weekly chart locks. Upcoming daily updates and any surprise promotional pushes remain the key swing factors to watch.
