Pop star and internet savant Doja Cat is climbing the Billboard charts yet again thanks to a new TikTok challenge that incorporates her 2019 song ā€œStreets.ā€Ā 

The #SilhouetteChallenge is breathing new life into the hypnotic track that comes from Dojaā€™s latest album Hot Pink, which was released back on Nov. 7, 2019. With it, the era of sultry TikTok challenges continues, as we move on from the #BussItChallenge to a new trend where users orchestrate creative red lighting and stand in various doorways to show off their figures.Ā 

The song broke into the Hot 100 earlier this month, and has now jumped to the No. 25 spot thanks to the viral challenge. The song is also shooting up Spotify's charts, currently appearing at No. 10 on the streaming platform's Top 200 list.Ā 

The viral trend even encouraged the singer herself to get back on TikTok to participate.Ā
