Ariana Grande’s ‘Sweetener’ Rises Into Top 10 of TikTok Billboard Top 50 | Billboard News

Ariana Grande, Wham!, Madonna and more make their way into the top 10, but which artist will take No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50?

Tetris Kelly:
A crop of classics break into the top 10 while the leader approaches a chart record. “Maps” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs returns to the top spot, giving it a grand total of eight weeks at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the chart posting Dec. 12. It’s two weeks away from matching Tommy Richman’s 10-week record.

Our biggest debut of the week is the choir version of “Like a Prayer.” The Madonna classic, reworked for the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, has found new life on TikTok thanks to a trend featuring Pepe from the Muppets. Our other top 10 debut comes from Malcolm Todd. “Chest Pain” debuts at six because users wanna show off the ones they love.

While Ariana’s been ruling the box office and earning a Golden Globe nomination, her 2018 track “Sweetener” has made a comeback. It bounds 36 to 8 thanks to everyone getting down the track. And our final track in the top 10 is Wham!’s holiday classic “Last Christmas.”
