Megan Thee Stallion‘s kissing the top of iTunes charts thanks to a viral challenge that’s exploded in honor of her ‘Suga’ song, ‘Savage.’

The J. White Did It-produced cut, a fan favorite from her latest top 10 EP, is the latest tune enjoying a sales surge thanks to TikTok.  In Stallion’s case, users of the platform upload videos of themselves doing choreography to the bop – a phenomenon that even caught on with celebrities like Tinashe, KeKe Palmer, ‘Black-ish’ star Marsai Martin, and more.

The result of the hoopla sees Megan riding high on real-time digital sales tallies, outpacing some of the day’s biggest Hip Hop hits.  See what we mean inside:

Before the clock struck midnight Friday (March 20), ‘After Hours’ – the highly anticipated new album from The Weeknd – had already amassed nearly 1 million pre-saves on Apple Music, a record for the digital retailer.

As of time reported, the ‘Heartless’-led LP is trumping the competition of over 60 countries.

While former Fifth Harmony hitmaker Ally Brooke had just begun rocking stages across America on her inaugural solo headlining jaunt (the ‘Time to Shine’ tour), her former bandmate – Dinah Jane – was gearing up to do the same on an even bigger scale via her self-titled trek, ‘The Dinah Jane Tour.’

Katy Perry gave her latest single, ‘Never Worn White,’ the extra push by using its J.A.C.K.-directed music video as the vehicle to announce her pregnancy.

At first, it appeared the tactic worked as media hoopla around the revelation not only kept Katy atop headlines, but also helped hoist the song to #1 on several sales tallies around the globe (as we reported here).

Despite its trumpeted arrival, the refreshed Hot 100 suggests ‘White’ is poised to suffer the same fate as its post-‘Witness’ forerunners ‘Never Really Over,’ ‘Small Talk,’ and ‘Harleys in Hawaii.’
