Five tracks from the Barbie album are currently featured on the Billboard Hot 100, including Ryan Gosling’s I’m Just Ken – his first ever song on the reputable chart.

With 73.9 million monthly listeners currently on the streaming service, Dua Lipa is still the most followed artist featured on The Barbie Album.

A spokesperson for Music Industry How To commented on the findings: “Big-ticket artists have contributed to promoting Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie. In the lead-up to the movie’s box office release, we noticed the hype these artists created by gradually releasing Barbie-themed songs. We had another epic disco track from Dua Lipa in late May, an exciting remix of Aqua’s classic by Nicki Minaj in late June, and then a gorgeous ballad from Billie Eilish in mid-July. It was a beautifully orchestrated campaign for the movie to get pop music aerophiles excited about Barbie.”
