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: Spider-Man: Brand New Day songs new and old experience huge gains, while ADÉLA takes another step towards stardom, U.S. listeners mourn a couple sadly passed European artists and more. ‘Brand New’ Streaming Gains for Tame Impala, Steve Lacy Songs in New ‘Spider-Man’ Movie It was a blockbuster opening beyond all other blockbuster opening for Spider-Man: Brand New Day over the weekend. The fourth film about the superhero as part of the extended Marvel Cinematic Universe, led by the now-married real-life couple Tom Holland and Zendaya, debuted to over $360 million in domestic box office returns in its first weekend, topping 2019’s Avengers: Endgame for the biggest opening weekend in U.S. history. Unsurprisingly for such a widely watched movie — with a fairly diverse soundtrack of classic hits and underground staples, with a couple modern favorites mixed in — the streaming gains for its most prominently featured songs have been similarly robust. Each of the older songs featured in the film (from iconic artists as far-flung as Chaka Khan and Brian Eno) have seen increased streams, with the biggest catalog beneficiary undoubtedly being TV on the Radio’s “Wolf Like Me,” featured in the film’s opening montage. The ‘00s indie standard-bearer racked up over 550,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the film’s first four days of release (July 31-Aug. 3), according to Luminate — a 353% gain over its total from the prior Friday-to-Monday period. But the biggest winners overall from the soundtrack are likely its two most contemporary hitmakers: Steve Lacy and Tame Impala. Lacy’s “Oh Yeah?,” which debuted on his parent album of the same name two weeks earlier featured over the film’s end credits, rose 181% to nearly 2.5 million streams over the same four-day period. Meanwhile, Tame’s “Loser,” from the artist born Kevin Parker’s polarizing 2025 album Deadbeat , skyrocketed a jaw-dropping 838% to over 2.6 million streams in the movie’s first four days. As Brand New Home keeps on raking in the millions, expect the soundtrack cuts to continue to make their presence felt — and possibly make a visit to the Hot 100, the first for “Loser” since it debuted at No. 91 in November, and the first of any kind for “Oh Yeah?” – ANDREW UNTERBERGER ADÉLA Levels Up With Fast-Rising New Single “Ain’t in L.A.” Dream Academy alum and rising pop star ADÉLA has been steadily building buzz over the past year with a string of pithy, punchy singles and acclaimed live shows. Now, she’s eyeing her first proper streaming hit with her newly released “Ain’t in L.A.,” single which dropped on July 23. Accor
