The final episode of Netflix’s Stranger Things produces strong results on Billboard‘s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for January 2026, with music from the series finale occupying eight of the tally’s 10 positions.
Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of January 2026.
Music from Stranger Things is included in the January 2026 edition despite being released on New Year’s Eve 2025, due to many viewers watching the episode in the following days.
Prince and the Revolution’s “Purple Rain” leads the chart, one of two Prince songs on the January 2026 ranking and featured in the finale. The 1984 track, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year, earned 35.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 6,000 downloads throughout January 2026, according to Luminate.
After the song was used in one of the series’ climactic final scenes, the streaming and sales gains for “Purple Rain” boosted it back onto the Hot 100 at No. 27, its first time on the survey since Prince’s death in 2016. It also reached the Streaming Songs chart for the first time, bowing at No. 21.
“Purple Rain” may have been No. 1 on Top TV Songs, but its lead over the rest of the tally wasn’t significant. Coming in at No. 2 was Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” which racked up 33.4 million streams and 5,000 downloads of its own in January 2026 after its own inclusion in the Stranger Things finale.
Those metrics even drove “Landslide” onto the Hot 100 for its inaugural appearance on the survey, 50 years after its 1975 premiere, ranking at No. 41. It also reached Streaming Songs at No. 40, the band’s second time on that chart, following the virality of “Dreams” that pushed it to No. 6 in 2020.
Prince’s “When Doves Cry” (No. 3; 10.9 million streams, 3,000 downloads) and David Bowie’s “Heroes” (No. 4; 10.7 million streams, 2,000 downloads) round out Top TV Songs’ top four for Stranger Things, while the top-performing non-Stranger Things entry, Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything,” appears at No. 5.
“I’ll Believe in Anything” makes the January 2026 chart due to its synch in the third episode of the fifth season of Crave’s Shoresy (Jan. 1), though the track had already been riding a wave of resurgence after being featured in an episode of Crave’s Heated Rivalry in December 2025. (Capping off the similarities: Both series involve hockey.)
In January 2026, “I’ll Believe in Anything,” originally released in 2005, accumulated 9.1 million streams and 4,000 downloads.
