Dominic Fike released his first musical project, Don’t Forget About Me, Demos, in the fall of 2018. One tune from the EP, “Babydoll,” suddenly went viral earlier this year and has quickly become the actor and singer-songwriter’s biggest hit on many Billboard charts. Thanks to that surge in popularity, Don’t Forget About Me, Demos also became a commercial success, at least for a time.
Years after its release — and months after its unexpected uptick began — “Babydoll” reaches new peak positions on multiple rosters published by Billboard. It also nearly earns Fike his first No. 1 on one ranking, but the star is blocked by a somewhat unlikely collaboration that has turned into one of the biggest smashes of 2026.
Dominic Fike Returns to His Career Peak
“Babydoll” climbs one space from No. 3 to No. 2 on the Hot Rock Songs chart. The genre-specific roster measures the most popular rock tracks in the United States via a combination of streaming activity, sales and radio airplay – as is the case with every list published by Billboard that begins with the word “Hot.”
The advance returns “Babydoll” to its previously-established peak. The single debuted on the Hot Rock Songs chart in March 2024, but it took roughly two years for the tune to reach the runner-up position for the first time.
Jennie and Tame Impala Block Dominic Fike From No. 1
The Hot Rock Songs chart is led once again by “Dracula,” the collaboration between Jennie and Tame Impala. The single has spent 43 weeks on the genre-specific tally, and a lucky 13 of those have been in first place.
“Dracula” became the first No. 1 on the ranking for both artists. It is Jennie’s only appearance on the Hot Rock Songs chart, while Tame Impala has accumulated 32 placements throughout its – really his, as the act is just Kevin Parker these days – career.
Before “Dracula,” Tame Impala had risen as high as No. 2 with “Breathe Deeper,” which opened in that position in February 2020. During that same week, “Borderline” and “Lost in Yesterday” reached Nos. 3 and 5, respectively, in what was then the act’s most successful frame on the tally.
Dominic Fike Has Charted a Trio of Top 10 Hits
Fike has placed nine tracks on the Hot Rock Songs chart, and one-third of them have broken into the top 10. In addition to “Babydoll,” both “Mona Lisa” and “Elliot’s Song” have also reached the highest tier. The latter collaboration features Fike’s Euphoria costar Zendaya. “Mona Lisa” and “Elliot’s Song” peaked at Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.
Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” Reaches New Airplay Peaks
“Babydoll” establishes new high points on three radio-focused charts in America this week.

On the Radio Songs tally – which measures airplay across formats throughout the U.S. – “Babydoll” crawls to a new peak of No. 36.
