Diana Ross New Year spark sends Upside Down back charts

Jefferson Fernando

A surprise live performance during a New Year’s Eve countdown has sparked renewed interest in the legendary catalog of Diana Ross, introducing her music to a new generation of listeners.

That attention is now reflected on the charts. Her classic hit Upside Down climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs Sales chart this week. The track also made a strong showing on the Billboard R&B Digital Song Sales chart, debuting at the same position.

The chart resurgence highlights how a single high-profile appearance can rekindle appreciation for a timeless sound, underscoring Ross’s enduring influence across generations well into 2026.
