Tommy Richman's ‘Million Dollar Baby' Scores Second Week Atop TikTok Billboard Top 50

Tommy Richman's "Million Dollar Baby" is the No. 1 song on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart for a second straight week, while Kendrick Lamar hits the top five, and a pair of Future and Metro Boomin tracks debut within the top 10 of the May 25-dated tally.

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity May 13-19. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

A flurry of trends and viral usages continues to contribute to the success of "Million Dollar Baby" on TikTok, as previously reported, after its virality was initially kicked off thanks to a tease of the tune on the app on April 13.

"Million Dollar Baby" concurrently falls 2-3 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, albeit with a rise in consumption; it's the chart's greatest gainer in both streams and sales, racking up 66.3 million official U.S. streams (up 14%) and 7,000 downloads (up 17%) in the May 10-16 tracking period, according to Luminate.

It reigns over Lay Bankz's "Tell Ur Girlfriend," No. 2 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for a second week after a previous three-week reign, and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," which lifts one spot to a new peak of No. 3.

Laila!'s "Like That!" rounds out the top five, but one position ahead of it at No. 4 is Lamar's "Not Like Us," which in its second week on the list jumps 9-4. One of the more viral uploads featuring the Drake diss in recent days shows Billie Eilish rapping along to the song's "they not like us" refrain, and the majority of the top-performing creations either express surprise at the lyrical content or show users dancing along to the track.

Like "Million Dollar Baby," "Not Like Us" is also up in overall consumption despite dropping 1-2 on the Hot 100, landing a 2% boost in streams to 72 million.

A pair of songs from Future and Metro Boomin's joint album We Don't Trust You debut in the TikTok Billboard Top 50's top 10 after becoming available on TikTok following Universal Music Group's new deal with the app. "Type Shit," featuring the rapper and producer plus Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, starts at No. 6, while "Fried (She a Vibe)" bows at No. 9.

The lead trend for "Type Shit" is one in which a creator responds to the prompt "You was ugly anyway" with a CapCut of themselves since, while "Fried" largely includes a lip-synch motif to the "I'm fried, yes, fried/ I'm f–ked up" lyric.

There's one other song in the top 10 of the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the first time: Adrianne Lenker‘s "Not a Lot, Just Forever" leaps 30-7 in its second week on the survey. It's the second top 10 for Lenker, whose "Anything" reached No. 8 in April (her band Big Thief has an additional top 20 with "Vampire Empire" in January).

Like "Anything," "Not a Lot, Just Forever" is featured on Lenker's 2020 album Songs. Its current prevailing trend utilizes the "Not a lot, just forever/ Intertwined, sewn together" lyric to show off bracelets and other jewelry users created, as well as one where an app shows what their pets' "bouquets" would be.

"Not a Lot, Just Forever" sports a 21% jump in streams to 946,000 in the latest tracking week.

A pair of songs just outside the top 10 that could soon challenge for that region debut at Nos. 12 and 13, respectively, in Tinashe's "Nasty" and Eilish's "Blue." "Nasty," originally released April 12, has become viral on TiKTok via a dance trend, and "Blue," premiered May 17 on Eilish's new album Hit Me Hard and Soft, benefits from a lip-synch video from Eilish herself to usher in the LP's premiere, while others either do their own lip-synch clips to the song or talk about how the tune was initially an unreleased track called "True Blue" before being reworked for the new album.

"Nasty" bursts 56% in streams to 1.6 million, while the full impact of "Blue" will be known on the June 1-dated Billboard charts.
