Chappell Roan’s ‘Casual’ Reigns on Top TV Movie Songs After ‘Novocaine’ Appearance
There’s a change at the top of Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), as Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ “Spitting Off the Edge of the World” gives way to Chappell Roan’s “Casual” on the March 2025-dated list.
Rankings for the Top Movie Songs chart are based on song and film data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of March 2025. The ranking includes newly released films from the preceding three months.
“Casual,” from Roan’s 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, debuts at No. 1 after a synch in the Dan Berk- and Robert Olsen-directed Novocaine, which premiered on March 14 and stars Jack Quaid.
A No. 59-peaking hit on the Billboard Hot 100 last August, “Casual” earned 16.9 million official on-demand U.S. streams in March 2025 en route to its Top Movie Songs coronation, according to Luminate.
Novocaine bookends the latest chart; it also boasts the No. 10 song via R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts,” which garnered 2.3 million streams and 1,000 downloads.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Perfume Genius-featuring “Spitting Off the Edge of the World,” which crowned the February 2025 tally after being heard in The Gorge, drops to No. 2 in its second month. The 2022 track earned 3 million streams and 2,000 downloads in March, the latter enough to pop it onto Billboard’s Rock Digital Song Sales chart for three weeks, including a week at No. 1 (March 1).
Music from The Gorge and Captain America: Brave New World are the only holdovers from February, with the remainder of the chart representing films released in March. In addition to Novocaine’s aforementioned two appearances, The Electric State and Snow White also boast two entries, while Holland reaches with one.
