Billboard chart experts discuss whether Joji’s “Pixelated Kisses,” Tame Impala’s “Dracula,” or the new remix collaboration between Chris Brown and Usher, “It Depends (Remix),” can climb the Billboard Hot 100 next week. Several fresh entries hit the top 10 recently, raising anticipation for how these new releases will perform.
Joji’s track “Pixelated Kisses” continues to gain traction. It entered the chart last week at No. 90 and now rises into the top 40, marking his first chart presence in three years. The last time Joji reached similar success was in 2022 with “Glimpse of Us,” which peaked at No. 8.
“Pixelated Kisses might be the next one to follow in those footsteps.”
Tame Impala’s “Dracula” appears to be closing out Spooky Season on a high note. As tracks from his latest project “Deadbeat” circulate widely on TikTok, listeners are increasingly drawn to his signature sound.
“It would be hard to be on TikTok and not hear at least one cut from ‘Deadbeat.’ It really shows how much of a star Tame Impala is.”
The “It Depends (Remix)” collaboration between Chris Brown and Usher taps into early 2000s nostalgia, merging their signature R&B styles with a modern twist that could resonate with longtime fans.
Author’s summary: Joji, Tame Impala, and the Chris Brown–Usher duo each bring unique energy to this week’s Hot 100 race, with strong potential for chart breakthroughs.
