The cited reason

"Back to Friends" first broke out as a TikTok-driven viral hit in 2025, and its late-August 2026 chart climb appears tied to continued momentum on TikTok, where the track keeps generating fresh edits, acoustic covers, and lyric/heartbreak videos rather than any single new placement. A TikTok discovery/trend page for the song was active within the past week (around late August 2026), but no specific new show, film, ad, or event could be confirmed as the exact catalyst for this particular week's uptick.

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.
