Audrey Hobert’s “Sue Me” got a sharp streaming lift after being featured on Amazon Prime’s “Off Campus,” rising 103% in weekly official on-demand U.S. streams to 1.1 million for the tracking week ending May 21. The song’s jump came as the series continued to push music from its soundtrack into the wider streaming conversation.
The placement matters because “Off Campus” is already being treated as a heavy hitter for synch-driven listening. The show, a steamy TV romance based on a book series, has a higher synch-per-episode rate than “Heated Rivalry,” and its music mix leans on contemporary alt-pop and alt-rock along with 20th-century throwbacks favored by Hannah and Garrett. That combination has helped songs on the series climb in daily streams as more viewers watch.
Hobert’s gain was not the only surge tied to the show. Elton John’s 1974 anthem “The Bitch Is Back” was up 577% to 1.2 million weekly official on-demand U.S. streams, while Warrant’s 1990 track “Cherry Pie” rose 122% to 1.1 million. G Flip’s “Bed on Fire” jumped 4,263% to 647,000, and The Beaches’ “Edge of the Earth” climbed 735% to 1 million.
“Off Campus” was renewed for a second season before its first episode aired, a vote of confidence that now looks even more justified from a music standpoint. One industry observer summed up the week as a new synch showcase entering the arena, with a streaming TV romance becoming the place to beat for placements and a catalog bump following close behind.
The tension for labels and artists is that a sync can turn a back-catalog song into a fresh streaming event overnight, but not every placement lands the same way. “Off Campus” has become especially potent because it does not just drop songs into scenes; it appears to send viewers back to the tracks afterward, creating a measurable aftershock in official on-demand streams.
That is why Hobert’s spike stands out today. The song is not just benefiting from exposure; it is part of a pattern that suggests “Off Campus” is becoming one of television’s most reliable music engines, and season two will begin with that pressure already built in.
Jennifer Lopez also surfaced in the broader music roundup, with “On the Floor,” featuring Pitbull, debuting at No. 117 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 80 on the Global Excl. U.S. charts dated May 30 after totaling 15.1 million streams worldwide during the May 15-21 tracking week. Lopez’s reaction to the moment was brief and blunt: “What!?”
