Jeff Buckley’s ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ Enters Hot 100 at No. 97 After TikTok Surge

The 1994 album track, never issued as a single, logged 3.8 million U.S. streams in the Jan. 16–22 tracking week, according to Luminate.

Overview

  • The placement is Buckley’s first on the Billboard Hot 100, appearing on the chart dated Jan. 31 nearly three decades after his death.
  • Viral use on TikTok and other short‑form video platforms over the past year drove concentrated streaming that translated into chart entry.
  • The track initially hit Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs at No. 22 in April 2025, returned in July, and has since peaked at No. 12.
  • Buckley’s album Grace has climbed with the surge, reaching a new Billboard 200 peak of No. 82 in December 2025 and standing at No. 156 this week.
  • Multiple outlets credit renewed interest in part to Amy Berg’s 2025 documentary It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, which spotlighted his life and work.
