ALEXANDRA CANAL: "Barbie," the phenomenon that is "Barbie," not only is the film outperforming, but their album is outperforming as well, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, multiple singles.

And I want to point out, too, that this was a global effort.

There are global artists featured on this album.

It was released through Warner Music so a holistic approach from Warner Brothers Discovery, which also produced the film.

And I think TikTok, YouTube, that's been a big driver for the popularity of some of these songs, especially the newer ones like Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night."

We also saw the resurgence of some older songs like Matchbox Twenty's "Push."

And if you saw the movie, that was a scene that stuck with you.

And that song was from the late '90s, so that making a resurgence as well.

And I know that you did an experiment.

JOSH SCHAFER: You guys have been hosting the show for the last hour and a half, I've been listening to the "Barbie" album.
