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 seemingly imminent return of Tate McRae gets fans buzzing again, while Tove Lo and Justin Timberlake both see decade-old hits return to the pop forefront thanks to viral trends. Tate McRae Gets Fans Buzzing With Golden Lollapalooza Moment & Teased Return Following a breathlessly packed 2025 run, Tate McRae was relatively quiet for the first half of 2026, without any new releases or live dates (outside of an appearance at Billboard ‘s Women in Music event in April. But in August, she seems deadset on making up for dormant time. She appeared at a pair of festivals on back-to-back nights to start the month — Osheaga on Aug. 1 and Lollpalooza on Aug. 2 — including a much-buzzed-about moment to close the latter set where she quickly dipped herself in gold body paint. And she also began teasing new visuals on her Instagram account, leading fans to believe that a new era is imminent. As a result of all the increased attention surrounding McRae — after a long period of dormancy, relatively speaking — many fans returned to her discography on DSPs. For the five days after her two festival dates (Aug. 3-7), her complete catalog totaled over 38.3 million official on-demand U.S. streams, up nearly six million and 18% from just under 32.6 million streams she racked up across the same five-day period the prior week (July 27-30), according to Luminate. Her well-earned break appears to have been well-timed in once again whetting the pop world’s appetite, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see her take advantage of it with a big new release in the year’s final months. — ANDREW UNTERBERGER TikTok Remix & Dance Trend Boost 22Jay’s “Talking Bodiez” — And Tove Lo’s 2015 Original It’s been over a decade since Tove Lo hit No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Talking Body,” and now its streams have resurged following a viral TikTok remix and accompanying dance trend.
