Deadpool & Wolverine: “Bye Bye Bye” Reaches New UK Peak

As someone who’s been around the block more times than I care to remember, I can say with confidence that the resurgence of *NSYNC’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” due to Deadpool & Wolverine is nothing short of mind-blowing! I mean, I was there when the song first dropped, and who would have thought it would make such a comeback in 2024? It’s like Ryan Reynolds has some sort of musical voodoo going on.


The duo of Deadpool and Wolverine keeps pushing the classic “Bye, Bye, Bye” by *NSYNC to unprecedented levels. This week, it climbed up to #12 on the UK’s Official Streaming Chart. Remarkably, this song, which is older than the chart itself by a few decades, has managed to make such a significant leap! The joint adventure of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the MCU has not only boosted box office earnings but also keeps the spirit of the Y2K era alive in pop culture. Interestingly, even Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” has experienced a similar positive impact from the movie. Although not every video on everyone’s For You Page features Deadpool dancing this iconic move, there are still plenty to be found.

Examining some figures gives us a better understanding of this milestone’s significance. On the U.S. Singles Chart, “Bye, Bye, Bye” climbed as high as the 8th spot. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, *NSYNC’s song reached number 45 not long ago. Although it was expected that it might approach its previous peak of number 4 following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, an 800% surge in sales should not be underestimated. This suggests a strong cultural connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which some had claimed had lost relevance with time.

In their first week post-release, the duo of Deadpool and Wolverine surprisingly made “Bye Bye Bye” a top 20 hit on Spotify, a fact that even Shawn Levy found amusing to share on social media. It’s been 24 years since *NSYNC brought joy into our lives with their iconic music video for the single, and it’s surprising how much of an impact they’ve had in 2024, almost like a cultural resurgence!

What Else Happens In Deadpool & Wolverine?

In the upcoming Marvel Studios film featuring Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, there’s a chance that they could rewrite the narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe together. The movie additionally features Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox, Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, and the return of several Deadpool cast members such as Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Stefan Kapi?i?, Brianna Hildebrand, Rob Delaney, Lewis Tan, and possibly Aaron Stanford from the X-Men series as Pyro. There are also rumors about Jennifer Garner reprising her role as Elektra Natchios.

As a devoted fan, I’d express it like this:
