The cited reason

The clearest documented driver for "End of Beginning" remains its long-running TikTok trend (the "back in Chicago" clips) plus the earlier 2026 Stranger Things-adjacent bump, and TikTok trend/discover pages from the past several weeks (July–August 2026) show the sound is still being widely used, which plausibly explains the continued organic international spread across markets like GB, DE, FR, ID and CZ. However, I could not find a specific, newly-dated catalyst (a fresh sync, ad, event, or news item) tied precisely to the early-August 2026 uptick, so this appears to be continued momentum from the existing viral trend rather than a single new trigger.

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
