For the second month in a row, Michael Jackson ’s “Billie Jean” is No. 1 on the Top Gabb Music Songs chart, reigning on the July 2026 list over challenges from Zara Larsson , Ella Langley and more. Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart, which launched in October 2024, tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts. “Billie Jean” ascended to the top spot in June 2026 after debuting at No. 3 on the May 2026 survey. The 1983 track’s resurgence is courtesy of the release of the biopic Michael , which drove multiple Jackson songs onto various weekly and monthly Billboard charts, with “Billie Jean” rising as high as No. 15 on the May 23, 2026, Billboard Hot 100 . Five Jackson songs are among the 25-position July 2026 Top Gabb Music Songs chart in all, with “Billie Jean” followed by “Beat It,” which drops two spots to No. 4. Its descent is due to the rise of two songs to the chart’s top three: Larsson’s “Lush Life” and Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” “Lush Life” leaps to No. 2, a new peak after reaching No. 3 on the April 2026 list, while “Choosin’ Texas” returns to the top three after last hitting No. 3 in March, amid its now-18-week run atop the Hot 100. Olivia Rodrigo ’s “The Cure,” a No. 11 debut for the June Top Gabb Music Songs tally, rises four positions to a new peak of No. 7, and Malcolm Todd ’s “Earrings” sports July’s top debut at No. 9. July’s also the time when the latter earned its best week yet on the Hot 100, hitting No. 20 on the July 25 ranking. Shakira and Burna Boy ’s 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” joins “Earrings” as a Top Gabb Music Songs debut for July at No. 11, one spot ahead of the premiere for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland cut “Mad,” performed by Leonardo Nam and Rita Ora , at No. 12.
