Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' No. 1 on Top Gabb Music Songs Chart

Michael Jackson's Michael' Songs Rule May 2026 Top Movie Songs Chart
Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' No. 1 on Top Gabb Music Songs Chart

The June 2026 edition features "Billie Jean" at No. 1, followed by "Beat It."

The June 2026 Top Gabb Music Songs chart features a high degree of turnover, with eight debuts, seven reentries and a first-time No. 1 in Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean."

Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart, which launched in October 2024, tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.

"Billie Jean" reigns a month after its No. 3 debut as Gabb users flock to the Jackson catalog following the release of the biopic Michael on April 24. That puts the chart in the same boat as the weekly Billboard Hot 100, where multiple Jackson songs reentered or debuted beginning on the May 9 survey, with "Billie Jean" also leading the way there at a No. 15 high so far (May 23).

Five Jackson songs dot Top Gabb Music Songs in all, with "Billie Jean" followed by "Beat It" (No. 2), "Chicago" (a debut at No. 6), "Smooth Criminal" (No. 10) and "Bad" (No. 15, also a debut).

Four of the other debuts belong to Olivia Rodrigo following the release of her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, on June 12. "The Cure" paces the group at No. 11, followed by "Purple" at No. 12, "Maggots for Brains" at No. 13 and "Honeybee" at No. 19, and even "Deja Vu," from Rodrigo's 2021 debut Sour, gets in on the action at No. 20 as a reentry.

The other two debuts for the month are also from some heavy hitters: Ariana Grande's "Hate That I Made You Love Me" bows at No. 7 following its first month of release (it premiered May 29), while Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 soundtrack contribution, "I Knew It, I Knew You, appears at No. 14 after a June 5 release. Both songs enjoyed time at No. 1 on the Hot 100 in June.
