The June 2026 edition of Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), has crowned Deftones’ iconic 2000 hit, "Change (In the House of Flies)," as the leading track. This surge in popularity is directly attributed to its prominent placement in the newly released Netflix miniseries, I Will Find You. The chart, which meticulously tracks music’s impact on television, reflects a dynamic landscape influenced by new streaming releases and established series.
The June 2026 chart is a vibrant tapestry of musical discovery, with significant contributions from the recently premiered series Every Year After and the eighth season of the critically acclaimed drama The Chi. However, it is the Netflix newcomer, I Will Find You, that has captured the top position, a testament to the enduring power of a well-synced classic rock anthem.
Deftones’ Resurgence: A Look at "Change (In the House of Flies)"
The inclusion of "Change (In the House of Flies)" in I Will Find You marks a significant moment for the track, catapulting it back into the public consciousness and onto the Billboard charts. The song, which originally peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in 2000, was a seminal moment for Deftones, representing their first top 10 hit on any of Billboard’s song rankings. Its inclusion in the June 2026 tracking period underscores its lasting appeal and its ability to resonate with contemporary audiences.
According to data provided by Luminate, "Change" experienced a substantial uplift in consumption during June 2026.
