Oasis’ and Ozzy Osbourne’s Streams Both Up Near 100% After Big Fourth of July Weekend Shows

Welcome to Billboard Pro’s Trending Up newsletter, where we take a closer look at the songs, artists, curiosities and trends that have caught the music industry’s attention. Some have come out of nowhere, others have taken months to catch on, and all of them could become ubiquitous in the blink of a TikTok clip. 

This week: Oasis’ tour kickoff and Ozzy Osbourne’s live farewell both result in huge streams and sales surges, Toby Keith’s anthem takes over Miley Cyrus’ for the biggest Fourth of July gainer, Beyoncé ekes out one more moment of Cowboy Carter virality and more.

Mama, I’m Feeling Supersonic: Ozzy and Oasis Catalogs See Huge Gains From High-Profile Live Dates

If you or anyone in your life is the least bit interested in ‘90s rock and pop — or knows someone who knows someone originally from the U.K. — chances are you’ve heard about Oasis reuniting for a comeback tour this summer. The Brothers Gallagher kicked off their Live ‘25 global stadium trek — last weekend (July 4-5) with a pair of dates in Cardiff, Wales, marking their first live dates since splitting in 2009, and generally drawing strong reviews for their performances. 

The tour doesn’t make it to the U.S. for another month and a half — arriving in Chicago on Aug. 28 and then stopping for a pair of dates on both coasts — but American Anglophiles already seem to be catching the secondhand buzz. Oasis’ catalog drew a combined 5.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams in the three days following the band’s July 4 kickoff show, according to Luminate, nearly doubling its streams (up 94% from just over 3 million) from the three-day period the prior week (June 28-30). The band also moved over 3,600 digital song sales over those days, up 766% from the prior week. 

Meanwhile, while one legendary live act geared back up for world domination over the weekend, another one said a final goodbye. Ozzy Osbourne, the 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman and metal god — who has been found in increasingly fragile health over recent years — made his live farewell at July 5’s much-anticipated Back to the Beginning concert, which saw Osbourne performing both solo and with the original Sabbath lineup (Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Tony Iommi) one final time, after a day of supporting performances from some of the biggest names in hard rock (Metallica, Tool, Guns N’ Roses). 

Osbourne’s streams and sales also climbed significantly following the much-publicized Birmingham, England event, with the Prince of Darkness racking up 4.4 million total streams and 3,900 total digital song sales over July 6 and 7 — up 95% and 1,100% from the same period the prior week. And that was just Ozzy solo — Sabbath also saw massive gains of 104% and 741% to nearly 4.7 million streams and 2,500 digital song sales, respectively, over the same period. — ANDREW UNTERBERGER

Streaming Fireworks: Fourth of July Boosts Toby Keith, Miley Cyrus & More USA Hits

Last Friday (July 4), music fans across the nation celebrated Independence Day by queuing up their favorite anthems related to the US of A, flooding daily streaming charts with Fourth of July music in the process. Among the big winners on streaming platforms were Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.,” which earned 2.77 million U.S. on-demand streams on Independence Day — as well as a little over 1,000 downloads — and “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus, which earned 2.72 million streams last Friday, according to Luminate.

However, the song that most benefited from the holiday was “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The ANgry American)” by the late Toby Keith, as the patriotic anthem continues to grow in Fourth of July streams in its second year since the country star’s February 2024 passing. “Courtesy” earned a whopping 5.36 million streams on July 4; for comparison, that streaming total was at 504,000 one week earlier (June 27). And after reaching No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 during its original run in 2002, the song could very well re-enter the chart more than two decades later — and maybe even challenge its previous peak on the chart. – JASON LIPSHUTZ

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ Lassoes Potential Hit In ‘Tyrant’ as Tour Nears End 

As Queen Bey’s blockbuster Cowboy Carter Tour approaches its conclusion in Las Vegas on July 28, the same TikTok trend that increased streaming activity for her 2016 “All Night” track is now boosting “Tyrant,” a Dolly Parton-assisted track from the back half of her three-time Grammy-winning country LP. 

According to Luminate, “Tyrant,” which Beyoncé performs every night on tour, is up over 182% in streaming activity over the past two weeks. During the period of June 13-19 (about a month after TikTok user @cowboydanny’s mashup of “Tyrant” and “All Night” hit the platform), the genre-bending track earned over 664,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. The following week (June 20-26), streams “Tyrant” jumped 41% to over 936,000. By the week of June 27-July 3, during which the “Tyrant” mashup became a trending sound for generally nostalgic edits of fictional characters and real people, the track doubled in streaming activity to a whopping 1.875 million streams. 

On TikTok, the official “Tyrant” sound plays in over 22,000 posts, while the sound attached to the mashup boasts a staggering 433,000 clips. Upon release, “Tyrant” peaked at No. 44 on the Hot 100 and No. 12 on Hot Country Songs. Although the end of the tour presumably means an end to Act II of Beyoncé’s still-unfurling album trilogy, perhaps “Tyrant” can carve out a space for itself before she officially transitions into Act III. – KYLE DENIS

Zeddy Will Maintains His Chokehold on TikTok With Yet Another Hit Remix 

Zeddy Will has appeared in the column multiple times, and with his ear for remixing popular TikTok sounds, he’ll likely continue to. A little over a year ago (July 5, 2024), Zeddy teamed up with Flint, Mich. Rapper Babyfxce E for “Cant Go Broke.” On June 18, 2025, producer J3WLZ shared a snippet of his remix on TikTok, with the bass-boosted version quickly going viral on the platform. That initial post has since amassed over 830,000 views and over 166,000 likes, with an official remix hitting DSPs a little over a week later on June 27. 

The official “Cant Go Broke – Remix” TikTok sound plays in a little under 10,000 clips, but the sound attached to J3WLZ’s initial snippet soundtracks over 88,000 posts. Recently, TikTok users have opted for a rotating dance (which requires at least two people) timed to the lines: “You really good at everything but head, I don’t want your throat/ I don’t want that s–t/ Matter fact, I want your friend, I’m allowed to switch.” 

During the period of June 13-19, “Cant Go Broke” earned a little over 19,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate. In the first full week after J3WLZ posted his snippet (June 20-26), that figured exploded by over 954% to over 205,000 streams. In the week after the remix his streaming platforms (June 27-July 3), “Can’t Go Broke” jumped another 788% in streams to over 1.82 million U.S. streams. Over the past two weeks, streaming activity for “Broke,” which currently ranks as the most Shazamed song in the U.S., has increased over 9,266%. – KD
