A Blast From The Past
A massive ’90s anthem is making a surprise comeback — and fans are absolutely loving it.
More than three decades after it first dropped, Radiohead’s legendary hit “Creep” is suddenly climbing the charts again thanks to a whole new generation discovering the track online.
The song, originally released back in 1992, has shot back into Billboard’s Rock Streaming Songs chart and is currently sitting inside the Top 10. Not bad for a track that’s older than some of the people streaming it.
TikTok Is Fueling The Revival
So why is the song suddenly everywhere again?

A big reason appears to be TikTok, where emotional throwback tracks have become huge for edits, memes and dramatic video trends. The haunting chorus and raw lyrics of “Creep” have helped it explode across social media once again.
The song has now racked up billions of streams on Spotify and continues to prove that great music never really disappears.
Millennials Are Feeling Very Old Right Now
For plenty of Aussies, “Creep” was already an all-time classic. But seeing it dominate charts again in 2026 is giving major nostalgia vibes. And honestly? Some songs just refuse to die.
