Why it's here
"Don't Stop the Music," released in September 2007 as the fourth single from Rihanna's album Good Girl Gone Bad, first appeared on Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart in the week dated February 28, 2026 — 18 years after its release. [1] The track then climbed steadily through mid-2026, reaching a new Billboard Global 200 peak of No. 96 in the chart frame reported on July 13, 2026, after moving up from No. 106. [2] Around the August 8, 2026 anchor date, it was one of three Rihanna dance catalog cuts on Billboard's Dance Streaming Songs chart, joined by returning entries "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris and "Only Girl (In the World)."

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.
