Much like fellow hitmakers The Weeknd and Miguel, R&B bad boy Chris Brown is enjoying a headline-grabbing run on current Billboard listings thanks to an aged sleeper hit-gone-viral on Tik Tok.

‘Under the Influence,’ originally found on 2019’s ‘Indigo‘ album, has been a chart force since finding popularity on the video-based social media platform in early 2022.

At the top of this year the Kiddominant-produced bop peaked at #12, marking the highest rung Brown’s reached by himself since 2012’s ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’ soared to #10.

Even more impressive are the strides ‘Under’ is making over on R&B charts.  See what we mean inside.

From ‘Crazy in Love’ to ‘Drunk in Love,’ ‘Irreplaceable,’ and more, Beyonce‘s solo discography is jam-packed with two decades worth of megahits.  But, to the surprise of many, it’s the 2009 power ballad ‘Halo‘ that’s ascended above the pack on many fronts.

Found aboard her 2008 chart-topping album ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce,‘ the Ryan Tedder-penned tune may not have topped the Hot 100 at the height of its popularity (#5 peak) but it’s certainly won the race in the long run.

Beyond enduring critical acclaim, its 9x Platinum standing (for sales of 9 million in the United States) ties it with album-mate, ‘Single Ladies,’ as her personal best commercial performer to date.

Previously her longest-running hit on the Hot 100, the refreshed edition of the hitlist shows ‘Halo’ now sharing that title as well.
