BTS performed "Dynamite" at the halftime show of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in North and Central America on Sunday (local time), sending the song on a streaming comeback.
Citing Luminate data, Billboard said Tuesday that streams of BTS's "Dynamite" rose 13% in a single day to 160,000.
The official World Cup anthem "Dye Dye," performed by Shakira and Burna Boy, drew 979,000 streams on the day of the final — a 25% increase from Tuesday.
The biggest gainer was "Everything Hallelujah," performed by Justin Bieber with a guitar, whose streams rose 34% from the previous day to 130,000. Madonna's "Music" climbed 6% to 33,000 streams.
Oasis's "Wonderwall" did not appear in the halftime show, but the Britpop anthem found new life as England's unofficial fan anthem, re-entering Billboard's main singles chart, the Hot 100, for the first time in 30 years. The song debuted at No. 27 on the Hot 100 for the chart week of July 10–16.
It was the first time "Wonderwall" had appeared on the Hot 100 since 1996. The song reached No. 8 on the chart upon its original release and spent 20 weeks there before dropping off.
The track was rediscovered during this World Cup as England's run through the tournament prompted fans to adopt it as an unofficial rallying song.
After England beat Croatia 4-2 in their opening group-stage match on June 17, players and thousands of fans broke into a mass singalong of "Wonderwall," drawing widespread attention.
US streams for the week totaled 8.7 million, up 73% from the previous week, while radio airplay rose 41% to 2.2 million spins.
Oasis member Noel Gallagher, in an interview with a local outlet, said of the song's renewed popularity that "this song belongs to everyone," and called the post-match singalong "a magical moment between the fans and the players."
