Billboard · 6 hours ago

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" has claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Gabb Music Songs chart for June 2026, marking the song's first time atop the ranking and reflecting renewed interest in Jackson's catalogue following the release of the biopic "Michael" in April. The chart, produced with kids' phone company Gabb Wireless, tracks streams on the Gabb Music platform, which curates only child- and teen-appropriate content, and its latest edition saw unusually high turnover with eight debuts and seven re-entries.

Jackson placed five songs on the chart in total, with "Billie Jean" leading ahead of "Beat It" at No. 2, alongside new entries "Chicago" (No. 6) and "Bad" (No. 15) and climber "Smooth Criminal" (No. 10). Olivia Rodrigo also made a strong showing following her new album, landing four debuts including "The Cure" at No. 11, while Ariana Grande's "Hate That I Made You Love Me" and Taylor Swift's "Toy Story 5" track "I Knew It, I Knew You" rounded out the month's notable new arrivals at No. 7 and No. 14 respectively.

  • Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" hits No. 1 on Top Gabb Music Songs chart.
