Welcome to Billboard Pro’s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s 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. This week: Fans celebrate Alan Jackson’s iconic country catalog following his star-studded farewell concert, Miguel has a second old song pop off anew, BabyChiefDoIt scores a new viral hit and more. Streaming Audiences ‘Remember’ Alan Jackson Following Final Concert Very few country stars of the past 40 years have had careers more accomplished or storied than Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson , with 26 Country Airplay No. 1 hits to his name — spanning from 1991 to 2010 — as well as 11 Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hits, and four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 . So of course, all eyes were on Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on Saturday night (June 27) as Jackson performed his “Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale” concert, a star-studded, livestreamed event designed to be the 67-year-old legend’s farewell to performing. And of course, whether inspired by the concert experience or upset to have missed out on it, streaming audiences flocked to Jackson’s catalog in the days following the concert. Between the two days after the June 27 show, Jackson’s discography combined for over 8.1 million official on-demand streams, according to Luminate — a 32% gain over the 6.2 million streams his work amassed across the equivalent period the prior week (June 21-22). One of the biggest bumps was for the sentimental “Remember When,” which rose 79% to 450,000 streams over the same period. While “Last Call” marks Jackson’s final live performance, he’s not done with music in general — last Thursday, he also released his cover of Orleans’ ‘70s pop-rock smash “Still the One,” which generated 201,000 combined streams over Sunday and Monday. — ANDREW UNTERBERGER Miguel Eyes Another Potential TikTok-Revived Hit With ‘Damned’ After scoring one of the decade’s biggest TikTok-assisted viral comebacks with “Sure Thing,” Miguel could repeat that success with “Damned.” A bonus track from his 2015 Wildheart LP, “Damned” has been steadily rising on streaming over the past four months. After soundtracking a Chad Michael Murray fancam with over 2.6 million views (March 22), streams for “Damned” pulled 385,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the week of March 27-April 2, according to Luminate, marking a whopping 1,359% increase from the 26,000 streams it logged a month prior (March 3-9). Throughout April, “Damned” continued to soundtrack fancams and before-after transition videos (specifically with the song’s chorus), helping the song spike to over 3.2 million official on-demand U.S. weekly streams during the period of April 23-30. On May 10, TikTok user @/rodwavehairline shared a fanmade mashup of “Damned” and Brent
