  "account": "Malcolm Todd's song \"Earrings\" has claimed the top position on the Top Gabb Music Songs chart for August 2026, climbing eight spots from its initial position at No. 9 in July. This marks the beginning of a new era for Todd, who has ascended to the No. 1 spot after two months of Michael Jackson's \"Billie Jean\" holding the top place following the release of the Michael biopic. The chart, presented in collaboration with Gabb Wireless, a phone company catering to kids and teens, showcases on-demand streams through its Gabb Music platform. Notable entries include Ella Langley's \"Choosin’ Texas\" reaching a new peak at No. 2 and Olivia Rodrigo's \"The Cure\" breaking into the top five at No. 4. The chart also features the debut of two new songs, Josiah Queen's \"Sundays\" at No. 19 and Alyssa Grace's \"Bloodstream\" at No. 20.",
