Welcome to Billboard Pro\u2019s\u00a0Trending Up<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry\u2019s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n This week: Laufey\u2019s new album has chart competition from a remixed song off her second album, Olivia Dean finds herself on the verge of a crossover hit and an old Rihanna fan favorite blazes anew (again). <\/em><\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Laufey may have just released her new A Matter of Time<\/em> album, but the lead single from her previous album is the gift that keeps on giving. \u201cFrom the Start,\u201d the first single from her Grammy-winning Bewitched<\/em> sophomore studio album, has taken over TikTok thanks to a chilled-out dance remix, courtesy of Jiandro and ola.wav.<\/p>\n Based around a loop of the line, \u201cRun to me, confess your love, at least just let me say,\u201d the remix gained significant traction thanks to a dance trend created by TikTok user @life_of_temi<\/a>. On Aug. 2, Temi posted<\/a> his dance to TikTok, and the initial clip earned over 2.9 million views and nearly 375,000 likes. He used a sound from the snippet Jiandro posted to TikTok on July 15; the original clip<\/a> of the snippet has since amassed nearly nine million views, while the accompanying sound<\/a> now boasts over 488,000 clips. Jiandro\u2019s version of the track officially hit streaming on Aug. 13.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the Start\u201d was consistently pulling over three million official on-demand U.S. streams a week, but by the first full week following Temi\u2019s video (Aug. 8-14), the song rose 5% to over 3.44 million official streams. By the next week (Aug. 15-21), the song leapt nearly 11% to over 3.82 million offiicial streams, good for 222% rise in streaming activity over the past three weeks.<\/p>\n In its first four days of of release (Aug. 15-18), \u201cConfess Your Love,\u201d Jiandro & ola.wav\u2019s remix, earned over 418,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. Over the same period the following week (Aug. 22-25), the remix jumped a whopping 119% to over 917,000 official streams, according to early data provided by Luminate. \u201cConfess Your Love\u201d earned over 941,000 official streams in its first full week of release (Aug. 15-21). \u2013 KYLE DENIS<\/em><\/p>\n With each new single leading up to her sophomore album, the buzz around Olivia Dean grows louder and louder: the British soul-pop singer-songwriter earned a Mercury Prize nomination with her 2023 debut Messy<\/em>, but The Art of Loving<\/em>, out on Sept. 26, could transform her into a cross-continental star upon its release, one month before she opens for Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s fall run of arena shows. Previously issued tracks \u201cNice to Each Other\u201d and \u201cLady Lady\u201d previewed the album\u2019s sonic warmth and sharp lyricism, but \u201cMan I Need\u201d \u2014 the snappy, rhythmic sing-along that sounds like it\u2019s from a long-lost \u201890s R&B soundtrack \u2014 could become Dean\u2019s first crossover hit, based on its early streaming growth.<\/p>\n In its first four days on streaming services (Aug. 15-18), \u201cMan I Need\u201d earned 1.18 million official U.S. on-demand streams. One week later, as the song spread through word-of-mouth and started soundtracking more TikToks, that four-day total (from Aug. 22-25) had moved to 2.56 million streams \u2014 an increase of 116%, according to early data provided by Luminate. \u201cMan I Need\u201d has started to pop up on daily streaming charts (up to No. 21 on Spotify\u2019s U.S. daily chart today), and has become her highest-charting solo hit in the U.K. thus far. With The Art of Loving<\/em> likely to mark Dean\u2019s Billboard 200 debut in a few weeks, \u201cMan I Need\u201d could also become her first Hot 100 hit ahead of it. \u2013 JASON LIPSHUTZ<\/em><\/p>\n Months after a wave of traction that landed the song in our Trending Up<\/em><\/a> column at the top of the year, Rihanna\u2019s \u201cBreakin\u2019 Dishes\u201d is on the rise once again.<\/p>\n The 2007 Good Girl Gone Bad<\/em> deep cut has jumped over 71% to over 4.02 million official on-demand U.S. streams during the period of Aug. 15-21, according to Luminate. The song\u2019s initial viral trends included praise for its lyrics centering on female rage, as well as clips demonstrating the strength of various boyfriend\u2019s timed to the \u201cA man, a man, a ma-e-a-a-an<\/em>\u201d refrain. More recently, TikTok user @eveg.co<\/a> used an unofficial snippet of \u201cDishes\u201d to soundtrack a fancam<\/a> reacting to the buzzy news of Love Island USA<\/em> stars JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez\u2019s explosive breakup. That initial clip, which was uploaded on July 28, earned 2.2 million views and over 276,000 likes, kicking off a new trend inspired by the lines \u201cIs he cheatin\u2019? Man, I don\u2019t know\/ I\u2019m lookin\u2019 \u2019round for somethin\u2019 else to throw.\u201d<\/p>\n That clip thrust the song back into the TikTok zeitgeist, and the accompanying sound<\/a> spawned over 130,000 videos in the weeks following. Instead of creating more fancams, TikTok users have largely used the JaNa-Kenny clip to reignite their praise for the song\u2019s embrace<\/a> of female<\/a> rage<\/a>.<\/p>\n During the week of Aug. 1-7, just days after the JaNa-Kenny fancam hit the algorithm, \u201cDishes\u201d earned 2.3 million official on-demand U.S. streams. By the following week (Aug. 8-14), that figure rose 15% to over 2.71 million official streams. During the next week (Aug. 15-21), \u201cDishes\u201d nealry doubled in activity, pulling over 4 million official streams.<\/p>\n Though \u201cBreakin\u2019 Dishes\u201d was never an official single, fans have gladly embraced it 18 years later. \u2014 KD<\/em><\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
