Alphaville’s ‘Forever Young’ Rides Nostalgia Wave to TikTok Billboard Top 50 No. 1
Alphaville's "Forever Young," which recently turned 40-years-old, ranks at No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart.
Trends include edits of fictional characters (many of whom died young), inward-looking content about aging and reminiscing about younger days, a choreographed theme where one creator picks up the other and spins them around while spraying a water bottle in slow motion, and more. The TikTok Billboard Top 50 coronation of “Forever Young” comes ahead of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter ’s “By the Sea,” from the soundtrack to the 2007 film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which vaults 32-2 in its second week on the chart. Carson’s TikTok success with “Overseas” is owed mostly to lip synchs, usually to the song’s lyric of “That boy repeat everything he hear like a parrot, he a b–ch/ The last b–ch I broke up with slit her wrist.”
