28 Jun
Summary
- Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind' re-entered global charts.
- The hit song achieved new peaks on Billboard Global 200.
- Jay-Z's chart performance also saw significant gains.
Alicia Keys' enduring hit, "Empire State of Mind," has once again captured attention by re-entering various Billboard charts. The song, originally released in September 2009 on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint 3" album, has become an anthem for New York City. Its recent resurgence sees it debuting on multiple charts, including the Billboard Global 200 at No. 127 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at No. 155.
This renewed chart presence marks a significant achievement for both Keys and Jay-Z. While "Empire State of Mind" is Keys' worst performer among her three appearances on the Billboard Global 200, it still signifies the song's lasting power. Jay-Z, who has released music less frequently in recent years, also benefits from this resurgence, with "Empire State of Mind" becoming his fourth highest-rising song on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
Domestically, "Empire State of Mind" has returned to prominence as a bestseller in America. It re-entered the Rap Digital Song Sales chart at No. 4 and settled at No. 6 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list. This demonstrates the song's sustained popularity and influence over a decade after its initial release.
