Malcolm Todd’s “Earrings” holds a narrow lead in trader sentiment for the #2 U.S. Spotify song of 2026, driven by its sustained streaming dominance and viral resurgence. The track, originally released in 2024, re-entered the spotlight through TikTok momentum, radio airplay, and consistent U.S. chart presence, including recent peaks on Billboard’s Hot 100 and strong daily Spotify tallies. Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” trails as the main challenger, buoyed by its massive global streams and UK/Australia success, yet it shows comparatively softer U.S. traction. The field remains competitive, with late-year releases and year-end streaming surges able to shift final rankings before Spotify Wrapped resolves the market. Precursor chart data and platform metrics continue to favor “Earrings” as the frontrunner.
