How Mac Miller’s ‘Cinderella’ Stormed the Charts 10 Years Later: ‘That Was Mac Talking From Heaven’
Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Dahi and more reflect on the late rapper's 2026 resurgence.
The seminal album "The Divine Feminine" by Mac Miller, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2016, has returned to the Billboard 200's top 10 on its 10th anniversary. The album marked a significant artistic evolution for the Pittsburgh native, exploring themes of love, intimacy, and the "feminine energy of the planet." Posthumously, Mac Miller's catalog has gained increased relevance, with his 2016 single "Cinderella" experiencing a resurgence.
"Cinderella," featuring Ty Dolla $ign, became Miller's second highest-charting single as a lead artist, reaching No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ty Dolla $ign expressed his belief that Mac Miller was speaking from heaven, as if he were speaking directly to listeners about enduring love. The track's popularity surged in late June, 2026, following a viral TikTok trend where users created content inspired by the song, making it the most used track on the platform.
