A dance classic of the late aughts has been pushed back onto the charts by a pair of recent plays.

On the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart dated Sept. 7, La Roux‘s 2009 hit “Bulletproof” sits at No. 13 amid its fifth week on the chart, down from a peak position at No. 10.

The 15-year old song arrived on this chart due to a recent streaming surge caused by two unrelated uses. The first was a February commercial for the allergy medication Allegra, in which a woman sings the song acapella in an ode to how it apparently makes her bulletproof against allergens.

Streaming then surged enough for the song to chart after July 21, when Kodak Black posted a TikTok of himself vibing (and also brushing his teeth) to the track in a viral video that’s since been liked more then three million times.

This Tiktok caused a “Bulletproof” streaming jump from 707,000 to 1.8 million in the week ending July 25, and then to 3.5 million in the week ending Aug. 1, according to Luminate. The most recent comments on the 2010 “Bulletproof” music video on YouTube state that viewers arrived to the clip because of Black’s influence. (“The culture came back to this after Kodak Black,” one commenter wrote. “S–t was a banger back then.”)

While the bubbly, defiant song by the English duo was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release on June 21, 2009, this current run marks its first appearance on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, which launched in 2013, four years after the track’s release.

Initially a hit in the United Kingdom, “Bulletproof” first reached a U.S. Billboard chart on Aug. 1, 2009, when it entered Dance Club Songs at No. 38, ultimately hitting No. 1 on the chart that September. The synth pop anthem also soared on the Hot 100, cracking the top 10 in March of 2010 when it reached No. 8. It went on to spend a whopping 27 weeks on the chart. The song was also a hit on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, where it spent 14 weeks in 2009/2010, peaking at No. 10.

The song came from the duo’s 2009 self-titled debut album, which also contained the hit “In It For the Kill.” This past June, La Roux’s Elly Jackson recently acknowledged the album’s 15-year anniversary, writing on Instagram that “this album is complex for me… without it life would be very different but it took a lot out of me that’s taken years to get back. Never thought it would take this long, so weird to think it’s fifteen years ago… I’m not even sure I can process that but here we are. Thank you to everyone that’s loved and still loves this record. My deep cuts are ‘quicksand’ and ‘colourless colour,’ let me know yours.”

Antonio Brown is drawing conclusions about Taylor Swift after the pop star embraced Brittany Mahomes at the U.S. Open Sunday (Sept. 9).

Sharing a photo of Swift smiling next to Travis Kelce at the prestigious tennis event while hugging the retired soccer player — who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes — the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver gave the trio a pointed new nickname. “White People for Trump,” Brown wrote.

Billboard has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.

Brittany Mahomes and Swift’s hangout at the U.S. Open comes shortly after the former drew criticism for reportedly liking posts and comments in support of former president Donald Trump in late August, after which the twice-impeached Republican candidate sang her praises in a post on Truth Social. “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,” he wrote at the time.

As the “Karma” singer has been open in previous years about her opposition to Trump, some fans expected Swift to distance herself from Brittany following the controversy. The two women — who grew close over the course of the 2023-24 NFL season — seemingly didn’t interact at the Chiefs’ first game of the new season on Thursday (Sept. 5), leading to surprise when the pair seemed closer than ever at the tournament.

The situation is also underscored by the fact that Swift has not yet endorsed a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, in spite of backing President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris’ successful White House bid in 2020.

Someone who has backed a candidate, however, is Brown. “I think Donald Trump is a good businessman and comes from a good family and has been a good president,” said the athlete, who was named president of Ye’s Donda Sport in 2022, in a May interview with Outkick. “I’ll endorse Trump.”

Billboard owned the past week in R&B and hip-hop with a weekend full of events celebrating the movers, shakers and tastemakers of both genres. Things kicked off with Thursday night’s (Sept. 5) 2024 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event, where Megan Thee Stallion and Playboi Carti were both honored as artist of the year. Rachelle Jean-Louis, manager to three-time Grammy winner Victoria Monét, took home executive of the year, and Teezo Touchdown scored rookie of the year honors.

Speaking of Teezo, the Billboard-charting artist headlined Billboard Hip-Hop Live, a star-studded Friday night (Sept. 6) concert held at Xanadu Roller Arts in Bushwick featuring additional performances by BigXThaPlug and Bossman Dlow. Later that night, Ice Spice stopped by Billboard‘s official afterparty for a performance of her Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hit “Think U the Shit (Fart)” (No. 37).

On Sunday night, R&B got some time to shine by way of an intimate No. 1’s party at The Box, where Usher (r&b entertainer of the year), Tyla (global force award), Lucky Daye (torchbearer award), Luther Vandross (icon award) and Monét (hitmaker award) were all honored. The R&B celebrations continue Monday night (Sept. 9) with a special one-night-only performance by Marsha Ambrosius at the Blue Note Jazz Club.

Of course, the only piece of a R&B/hip-hop news to cut through Billboard’s jam-packed weekend was the announcement that Kendrick Lamar would be headlining the Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Cue “Not Like Us”!

With Fresh Picks, Billboard aims to highlight some of the best and most interesting new sounds across R&B and hip-hop — from Powers Pleasant’s epic NY link-up to Laila’s guitar-backed album opener. Be sure to check out this week’s Fresh Picks in our Spotify playlist below.

Freshest Find: Powers Pleasant feat. A$AP Ferg & Armani Caesar, “Shmoke”

For his latest single of 2024, Powers Pleasant brings together the respective lineages of A$AP Mob and Griselda to deliver a beautifully belligerent New York banger that blends moving gospel samples, a sleek Daft Punk flip and hip-rocking Jersey club breakdown. Even the “You don’t want smoke/ Bet that I do!” call-and-response in hook embodies the menacing playfulness that courses through nearly every decade of New York rap’s evolution. Powers’ soundscape is a busy one, but his commitment to modernizing the booming, grandiose aura of ’90s hip-hop keeps the vision clear. Of course, spirited performances from both Ferg and Armani don’t hurt either.

Toosii & Gunna,”Champs Élysées”

It’s been over a year since “Favorite Song” became Toosii’s first Hot 100 top five hit, which means it’s time for a victory lap. “Look how I’m reachin’ my goals/ Whip it, uh, whip it, uh/ This here came right off the stove, uh/ Champs, Élysées, uh, she wanna shop for some clothes, uh,” he spits. Produced by Dson Beats, Vision EXE & Anthoine Walters, the song’s shimmering trap-inflected soundscape gives both Toosii and Gunna ample space to wax poetic about pursuing their biggest goals and dream women. “Champs Élysées” is the latest taste of Toosii’s forthcoming Jaded project, which marks his first full-length release since 2023’s Naujour.

Chow Lee & AJ Tracey, “I’m Not Really That Spiritual!”

Chow Lee, one of the torchbearers of the sexy drill sound that has taken over the Empire State this year, just dropped off his Sex Drive project, and his across-the-pond collaboration with AJ Tracey is one of the standout moments. With “I’m Not Really That Spiritual,” the two rappers wholly embraces the innate hedonism that comes with the slizzy lifestyle. Chow raps, “I’m not really spiritual, I’m still gon’ tell my ex to suck my d–k in my interviews/ I’m not really lyrical, I’m just talkin’ my shit on the beat and it works.” Instead of working the defense to prove his sound and style worthy of respect, Chow simply presents himself — and he doesn’t really care if we take it or leave it. It’s the perfect amount of apathy to ground his laid-back delivery, which AJ complements nicely on his similarly debaucherous guest verse.

Naomi Sharon & DJ Snake, “Goodbyes (Myrrh)”

Naomi Sharon’s ethereal “Myrrh” caught the ear of DJ Snake and he put his own spin on the Obsidian standout. Snake pushed the pace while trading stripped-down guitar strings for pulsating synths. The dance-leaning track has been airbrushed with a more vibrant aesthetic, which will get hips gyrating at the nightclub. Just don’t fall head over heels because “good times turn into goodbyes” eventually. Sharon just wrapped up opening up for Tems on her North American trek and the OVO singer should have more surprises in store for fans before the year expires.  

Laila!, “Talent Show”

Whether you discovered Laila! through a viral TikTok or stumbled upon her Gap Year debut album, she’s happy you’re here for the journey. The 19-year-old introduces fans to her first LP literally with a raw performance from a talent show while she was in high school with her friend strumming on guitar. Laila! Shows off her vibrato vocals and singing range while ruminating about a faltered relationship that’s left her feeling “abused” and “misused.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Laila!’s 17-track album. Mos Def’s daughter’s debut is well worth the price of admission for listeners. 

SleazyWorldGo feat. Rob 49, “I Like That”

SleazyWorldGo’s More Than a Shooter album arrived on Friday (Sept. 6) with help steering the wheel from Gunna’s right-hand man Turbo, who serves as executive producer on the LP. The menacing “I Like That” connects Kansas City to New Orleans with Sleazy and Rob 49 narrating their unforgiving environments while coming up on the turbulent road to success. “If I squeeze, chopper float like a butterfly, the shots sting like a bee/ Way the choppa knock n—as out, I named this b—h Ali,” Sleazy raps while warning his opps. Mixing in some icy keys over thumping drums, this ominous cut passes the car test. 

Juice WRLD’s estate has released two new songs packaged as part of the late Chicago rapper’s The Pre-Party EP. Both “World Tour (Aquafina)” and “Lightyears” featuring Young Thug hit streaming services via Grade A Productions on Monday (Sept. 9).

The Pre-Party two-pack serves as Juice’s first official release of 2024, following his posthumous guest appearance on friend Ski Mask The Slump God’s “Wake Up” in June.

“World Tour (Aquafina)” isn’t foreign to diehard Juice fans who may recall him previewing the braggadocios record on his Instagram Live back in 2018. “I’m a real n—a, nah, I’m not an actor/ Double cup with that red lean, I’ma sip classy/ Dior on my feet, I feel classy,” he raps over the DJ Relentt production.

The guitar-driven “Lightyears” was teased by Juice and then Young Thug on social media just prior to the COVID-19 shutdown in February 2020. “Lucid Dreams” producer and frequent collaborator Nick Mira helms the woozy production here.

It’s far from the first time that Thugger and Juice have mixed their syrupy genre-blending flows. They connected in the past on tracks such as “Money,” “Mannequin Challenge,” “Bad boy,” “On God” and “Rich N—a Shit.”

A post shared by Juice WRLD 9 9 9 (@juicewrld999)

The EP comes ahead of the long-rumored and much-anticipated The Party Never Ends album, which is slated to be Juice WRLD’s third and final posthumous LP. His last album arrived in 2021 with Fighting Demons, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 119,000 album-equivalent units.

In August, Juice WRLD reached another posthumous milestone when his “Lucid Dreams” anthem eclipsed one billion views on YouTube. It’s the first video of his to do so.

Juice WRLD — born Jarad Higgins — died at age 21 due to an accidental oxycodone and codeine intoxication on Dec. 8, 2019.

Tim Burton brought the campy Beetlejuice back to life for a second time in the new movie Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, which premiered in theaters on Friday (Sept. 6).

Burton’s original film became an Oscar winner for its use of makeup. The 72-year-old reprises his role as “the ghost with the most” in Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice alongside other returning actors from the 1988 version including Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara. Wednesday‘s Jenna Ortega also joins the sequel’s cast as Lydia Deetz’s (Ryder) daughter.
