Why it's here

The Five Stairsteps' 1967 cover of "Oooh, Baby Baby" — a Smokey Robinson and Warren "Pete" Moore composition first cut by the Miracles in 1965 — reached No. 32 on TikTok's Top 50 Songs chart in late August 2026, decades after its original release. [1] The Chicago family group's rendition, issued in 1967 on the Windy C label, originally peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 34 on the R&B chart, making it a lesser-known version than either the Miracles' original or Linda Ronstadt's 1978 cover from Living in the USA. [2] The charting recording is the "Buddha Remastered 2001" master, a Curtis Mayfield-produced track compiled on The First Family of Soul: The Best of The Five Stairsteps, released November 6, 2001.

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.
