Michael Jackson’s not-so-hidden gem “Chicago” debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, among overall growth for his catalog as the late King of Pop’s biopic Michael continues to dominate at the box office.
The viral “Chicago” enters the Hot 100 (dated June 6) at No. 30, almost entirely from 10.7 million official chart-eligible streams (up 30% week over week) in the United States May 22-28, according to data tracker Luminate. (Older songs are allowed to appear on the chart if ranking in the top 50 and showing meaningful gains.)
