The big news on this week’s Billboard charts is Boney M’s resurgence, thanks to their 1978 song Rasputin .

It moves to number 53 on the Billboard Global 200 Excl US Chart while rising to 92 on the Global 200 Chart. On the UK Trending Chart, Rasputin is number one; last Friday, it rose to number 16 on the UK Top 100.

Rasputin peaked at number two on the UK Top 100 Chart 43 years ago. A remix was released earlier this year by Majestic and with a dance challenge on TikTok, there has been renewed interest in the song which is about the controversial Russian holy man who was a confidant of Czar Nicholas.

Before the group broke up in the 1980s, Boney M’s original members were Jamaicans Marcia Barrett and Liz Mitchell, Aruban Bobby Farrell, and Maizie Williams from Montserrat.

When it was first released, Rasputin was not a hit in the United States but did well in Europe. Boney M’s hits include Mary’s Boy Child/Oh My Lord, Rivers of Babylon, Daddy Cool, Ma Baker, Brown Girl in The Ring, and I’m Born Again.
