Michael Jackson Holds Top Gabb Music Songs No. 1, Ahead of Zara Larsson
“Billie Jean” is No. 1 for the second month in a row, while “Lush Life” reaches a new peak of No. 2.
For the second consecutive month, Michael Jackson's iconic hit "Billie Jean" maintains its No. 1 position on the Top Gabb Music Songs chart, released by Gabb Wireless, a phone company catering to children and teenagers. This monthly chart, launched in October 2024, focuses on on-demand streams through Gabb Music, which exclusively curates kid- and teen-friendly content.
"Billie Jean" climbed to the top spot in June 2026, following its debut at No. 3 in May 2026. The resurgence of Jackson's classic was likely fueled by the release of the biopic "Michael," which propelled multiple Jackson songs onto various Billboard charts, including "Billie Jean" peaking at No. 15 on the May 23, 2026, Hot 100. Five of Jackson's songs appear in the July 2026 Top Gabb Music Songs chart, with "Billie Jean" followed by "Beat It" at No. 4.
The drop in "Beat It's" ranking is attributed to the rise of Zara Larsson's "Lush Life" and Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" to the chart's top three. Olivia Rodrigo's "The Cure" experienced a four-position rise, peaking at No. 7, while Malcolm Todd's debut "Earrings" reached its highest position at No. 9. Additionally, Shakira and Burna Boy's FIFA World Cup anthem "Dai Dai" made its debut at No. 11, just one spot ahead of the Descendants: Wicked Wonderland song "Mad" by Leonardo Nam and Rita Ora at No. 12.
