Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” spends its 10th week at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart dated July 20, becoming the first song to reach the 10-week milestone since the list’s September 2023 inception.
The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity July 8-14. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.

Trending on Billboard
Its TikTok Billboard Top 50 rule has coincided with success on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100; it debuted at No. 2 on the May 11 tally and has fallen no lower than No. 6 since, appearing at No. 4 on the July 20 list via 65.4 million radio audience impressions, 28.5 million official U.S. streams and 4,000 downloads sold in the week ending July 11, according to Luminate.
“Million Dollar Baby” initially reigned thanks to pent-up demand for the song following a snippet of the track that was uploaded to Richman’s TikTok account on April 13, prior to its April 26 premiere in full. A variety of trends using the tune have followed, paced by dance challenges.
BlackMayo’s “Jus’ Know” holds at its No. 2 best on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, while Ian’s “Magic Johnson” lifts one spot to No. 3. “Jus’ Know” remains dominated by a dance trend first popularized by basketball player Jared McCain and Twitch star Kai Cenat, and “Magic Johnson” has found recent success thanks to a mashup that adds the countdown of Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go!” to the sound. LeoStayTrill and Mr Reload It’s “Pink Lemonade (Str8 Reload)” vaults from its No. 8 debut July 13 to a new peak of No. 4 thanks to lip-synch uploads.
Nos. 5 and 6, meanwhile, are new to the top 10: Blood Orange’s “Champagne Coast,” which jumps 21-5, and Megan Thee Stallion’s Yuki Chiba-featuring “Mamushi,” which leaps 12-6.
“Champagne Coast,” a nearly 13-year-old song released on Blood Orange’s 2011 album Coastal Grooves, has risen to prominence on TikTok in recent weeks thanks mostly to a trend with the prompt “did we get rich?” or “did we win the lottery?,” usually talking to their younger selves. Another trend talks about how they’ll stay single until someone looks them in the eyes and the result sounds like “Champagne Coast.”
“Champagne Coast” did not make a Billboard chart upon its initial release (nor has parent album Coastal Grooves). The song boasts a 65% jump in official U.S. streams to 3.9 million in the week ending July 11.
“Mamushi” is comparatively a much newer song, released June 28 on Megan Thee Stallion’s new album Megan. It sports a 40% gain in its second week (ending July 11) to 10.3 million chart-eligible streams, spurring a 68-45 leap on the Hot 100.
Its No. 6 rank on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 is helped by a dance trend that highlights the chorus, featuring alternating verses from Chiba and Megan Thee Stallion.
As for the chart’s top debut of the week, that honor goes to El Alfa and Nfasis, whose “Este” starts at No. 11. Released July 4, the Spanish-language tune is mostly driven by lip-synch videos to its chorus.
