*NSYNC is back on top of the music charts worldwide— all thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine.
The band’s hit song “Bye Bye Bye,” which was featured in the beginning of the blockbuster film that has gone on to gross over $1 billion at the global box office, broke into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, according to the outlet.
The song re-entered the music charts and moved up to the No. 8 position on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, up from No. 16 last week, per the publication. It is currently in the No. 45 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, which includes U.S. plays.
Deadpool & Wolverine has also been having a stellar run, topping the box office for three weekends in a row. It has garnered $494.3 million domestically and over $1 billion globally as of its third weekend, per Variety.

Reynolds previously discussed the opening sequence of the film featuring the song, which shows choreographer Nick Pauley dressed in a Deadpool suit dancing while taking out a bunch of Time Variance Authority guards seeking to capture the title character.
“He’s doing a lot of the moves that have been established previously by *NSYNC,” Reynolds said of the dance scene, per With Ashley and Company. “If it looks like the person who’s dancing doesn’t have arthritis, that’s him.”

Though he indicated there are some moments of him in Deadpool’s suit on camera during the sequence, particularly the scenes where “there’s a bit of a pop and lock.” Though he added, “I will hang on Nick Pauley’s talent. I will hang my hat on his talent there and thank him for his contribution and services.”
The film also featured several throwback songs including Madonna’s 1989 hit “Like A Prayer,” the Goo Goo Dolls’ 1998 song “Iris” and even “The Greatest Show” from Jackman’s 2017 film The Greatest Showman.
