Top Trending Songs

A bedroom-pop song and a Bee Gees favorite lead the ranking of the fastest-rising songs in the month of March

Yot Club Crashes In

While many TikTok hits are peppy hip-hop tunes, meant for viral dance challenges and the like, every once in a while a hazy, moody bedroom-pop number has its 60 seconds or fewer of fame. The latest is “YKWIM?” by Yot Club, which is the producer name of Ryan Kaiser, a 23-year-old in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who has been churning out low-fi bedroom pop for the past few years. After being used in thousands of TikTok videos, “YKWIM?” saw more than 2 million streams in March, up more than 2,000 percent from February.

Disco’s Comeback Continues

Anyone surprised that a 1977 disco classic is taking off in 2021 hasn’t paid close enough attention to Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” Doja Cat’s “Say So,” or the bevy of other disco-pop hits that have dominated streaming over the past year. Further proving that disco is back, the Bee Gees’ Saturday Night Fever classic “More Than a Woman” gained steam on TikTok in March, introducing the tune to a whole new audience and helping more than double its streams compared with February.

Down Under to Top 10

It’s rare that an artist rises from obscurity to the Top 10 of the RS 100 in a matter of months. But Australian rapper Masked Wolf pulled it off with “Astronaut in the Ocean,” which was originally released in 2019 but started to take off via streaming in late 2020 on TikTok. By the end of March, “Astronaut in the Ocean” was at Number Eight on the RS 100. Masked Wolf also reached the Top 200 of the Artists 500 and went on to top the Breakthrough 25 chart in early April.
