Context

This is a yearly ritual now. "Disturbia" spends most of the year off the global top 200, then floods back every October when Halloween playlists take over. The difference in 2026 is how far it climbed. Getting into the global top 20 on a day packed with seasonal songs is the best showing the track has ever had on Spotify's worldwide chart.

The competition was heavy. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" took No. 1 on the same global chart for the first time, with 6.606 million streams, and "Ghostbusters" and "Monster Mash" filled the next two spots, InMusic reported. Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" re-entered one spot above Rihanna at No. 19 with about 2.6 million streams. We covered the run-up to the "Thriller" moment in Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' Hits No. 1 on US iTunes, Streams Up 42% in Hot 100 Chase.

For Rihanna fans, the spike is another reminder of how hard her catalog still works. A catalog song outran most of the current releases on Spotify's global chart for a day, riding the Halloween playlist wave. Expect the number to slide back once the holiday passes. The question is whether it can top No. 20 again on Halloween 2027.

What's unconfirmed

• InMusic describes the jump as "76 positions year over year." Kworb's data shows a 76-spot climb from the Oct. 30, 2026 chart (No. 96 to No. 20), so we're reporting it as a one-day jump.
• We could not open the original @chartdata post on X that first flagged the new peak, so this story relies on InMusic and kworb's chart log.
