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: The Devil Wears Prada 2 makes all the money and gets a bunch of soundtrack bumps, memories of Mac Miller bring listeners back to 2016 (again), and social media jokes help mint a new streaming hit. Look Around, Everywhere You Turn Is Devil Wears Prada 2 The new sequel to the beloved 2006 fashion-world comedy The Devil Wears Prada came to theaters nationwide over the weekend (May 1), and was received with both positive reviews and booming business.
