Netflix’s Outer Banks claims three of the top five entries on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind, for August 2021, including the No. 1 in Celeste’s “Strange.”
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 MRC Data during the corresponding period of August 2021.
The second season for Outer Banks premiered July 30. “Strange” leads the way with 8.8 million U.S. on-demand streams and 2,000 downloads in August 2021, according to MRC Data, following its inclusion in the season’s sixth episode.
