The cited reason

"The One That Got Away" has surged since early 2026 after going viral on TikTok and Instagram, where users repurposed the 2011 ballad to soundtrack nostalgia edits, relationship retrospectives and "what if" storytelling about lost love. Katy Perry capitalized on the momentum with an April 21, 2026 director's cut of the video featuring Stevie Nicks narration and a greatest-hits compilation, "The Ones That Got the Plays," and the track's viral resurgence has continued to lift it across global charts into August 2026.

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.
