Apple Music chart #1

On April 15, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj’s 'Beauty And A Beat' debuted at No. 1 on the European Apple Music Song Chart, a region‑level chart bump celebrated on social platforms. (x.com).

Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj’s 2012 single “Beauty and a Beat” moved to No. 1 on the European Apple Music song chart on April 15, nearly 14 years after its release. (kworb.net) Apple Music publishes daily Top 100 song charts for individual countries and broader markets, including Europe, and the chart update followed Bieber’s April 11 headlining set at Coachella in Indio, California. (music.apple.com) (billboard.com) Billboard reported that Bieber posted his biggest streaming day of 2026 on April 12 after that Coachella performance, and entertainment outlets tied the renewed attention to throwback songs including “Beauty and a Beat.” (billboard.com) (thecelebpost.com) “Beauty and a Beat” first appeared on Bieber’s album *Believe* on January 1, 2012, with Nicki Minaj credited as a featured artist and songwriter alongside Max Martin, Zedd and Savan Kotecha. Apple Music lists the track at 3 minutes and 47 seconds. (music.apple.com) The chart move fits a familiar streaming pattern: a major live performance can push older songs back into daily rankings when fans replay the setlist the next day. Billboard’s Coachella recap said Bieber’s April 11 show mixed newer *SWAG* material with older hits from across his catalog. (billboard.com) Third-party chart trackers showed the song climbing not only in Europe but also across broader Apple Music rankings this week, reflecting how fast catalog songs can travel once they break out on social platforms and festival streams. (kworb.net) (top-charts.com) Nicki Minaj and Hailey Bieber both reacted on social media as the song rose, turning a one-day chart update into a larger nostalgia moment around one of Bieber’s biggest early-2010s hits. (thecelebpost.com) For now, the clearest takeaway is in the ranking itself: a 2012 dance-pop single is back at No. 1 in Europe on Apple Music after Bieber’s return to one of pop’s biggest festival stages.
