Radiohead’s performance on charts all around the world throughout 2025 illustrates the power of virality in today’s music industry. One track taking the internet by storm can not only give a musical act a new smash, but also help bring older titles to new heights and move millions of units.

Recently, Radiohead’s “Let Down,” an album cut from decades ago, began picking up steam on TikTok, and it became a sudden and unexpected hit. The success of that one track ensures that many of the alternative group’s tunes and albums perform well yet again, especially in the U.K., where the rockers remain among the most respected of all time.

Radiohead Sends Two Hits to the Same Chart

Radiohead fills two spaces on the Official Singles chart, the 100-position ranking that blends sales and streaming activity to show what the British public is consuming. “Let Down” reenters the tally at No. 88 in its fifth frame on the competitive roster, almost returning to its No. 85 high point.

“Creep” Joins “Let Down”

At the same time that “Let Down” returns, “Creep,” one of Radiohead’s most familiar compositions, also finds its way back. That track, which peaked at No. 7 and has now spent 35 frames somewhere on the roster throughout the years, narrowly finds space on the tally as it comes in at No. 95.

Streaming Success for Radiohead

Success on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music seems to be largely aiding both “Let Down” and “Creep” in their return to the Official Singles chart. Both popular cuts rise on the Official Streaming ranking, with “Let Down” surging six spaces to No. 62, while “Creep” comes in at No. 68.

OK Computer, The Bends, and In Rainbows

Three Radiohead albums appear on multiple charts in the country as well. “Let Down” is responsible for the ascension of OK Computer, the album on which it’s featured. At the moment, the project climbs on four tallies. Both The Bends and In Rainbows soar on three lists at the same time.
