Viral Scene Triggers Chart Resurgence
In May 2024, a scene from Prime Video’s series *Off Campus*—featuring Allie Hayes (Mika Abdalla) dressed as Jennifer Lopez and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) dressed as Maverick from *Top Gun*—was posted to TikTok and went viral. The clip, set to Lopez’s 2011 hit “On the Floor,” generated a streaming surge that placed the song at No. 117 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 80 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart for the week ending May 21.
Song’s Original Success and Legacy
“On the Floor,” the lead single from Lopez’s seventh studio album *LOVE?* (April 2011), originally peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It contributed to Lopez’s ten top-10 Hot 100 entries and Pitbull’s seventeen top-10 Latin hits. The track also helped *LOVE?* debut at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
Streaming Surge and Chart Positions
According to Luminate, the song logged 15.1 million worldwide streams during the May 15-21 tracking week, including 12.5 million streams from outside the United States. The Global 200 debut marks Lopez’s second entry on that chart after “Pa’ Ti” with Maluma (2020) and Pitbull’s third after “Give Me Everything” (2025). On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, the track entered at No. 80, confirming its renewed international appeal.
Official Reaction from Jennifer Lopez
Lopez praised the series, describing it as cute, and expressed delight that the show used her song, which she said had re-entered the charts after 15 years. She added that the music industry has changed significantly. Lopez also collaborated with Abdalla on a TikTok recreation of the scene, calling the joint effort really fun.
On-the-Ground Description of the Viral Moment
The TikTok clip shows Allie, in a Lopez-inspired outfit, and Dean, in a Maverick costume, dancing together at a Halloween party while “On the Floor” plays. The video’s rapid spread prompted Lopez to join the trend, posting her own dance alongside Abdalla.
Why It Matters: Shifts in Music Consumption
