Where will Folded chart on the Apr 18, 2026 Billboard Hot 100?

Kehlani's 'Folded' secured significant Spotify editorial playlist placements early. The song was officially added to multiple top Spotify global editorial playlists, notably including 'Today's Top Hits', 'RapCaviar', and '¡Viva Latino!' ^[1]. This widespread inclusion indicates strong editorial support and broad exposure on major streaming platforms, fulfilling the specified conditions well in advance of the April 1, 2026, deadline.

'Folded' achieved extensive U.S. Top 40/CHR radio airplay. The track reached number 18 on the US Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Airplay) chart, confirming its broadcast on more than 20 U.S. Top 40/CHR stations ^[2]. Additionally, the song peaked at number 7 on the US Rhythmic chart and number 8 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with Billboard highlighting its success ^[2]. These achievements confirm widespread radio support significantly before the set deadline.

Specific 'Folded' UGC creation velocity data for Q1 2026 is unavailable. The average daily creation velocity of new User-Generated Content (UGC) on TikTok and Instagram Reels for the 'Folded' audio during Q1 2026 could not be determined from the research. Consequently, a direct comparison of this rate to the UGC velocity of other electronic songs that previously entered the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 also could not be provided.

Research sources primarily focused on predictions and general song information. The available materials mainly centered on future Billboard Hot 100 chart predictions for 'Folded' ^[2], general details about the song itself ^[3], and Kehlani's social media presence ^[4]. While one source offered general TikTok statistics relevant to music marketing in 2026 ^[1] and another highlighted the success of Clean Bandit & Zara Larsson's 'Symphony' on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 ^[5], none of these sources provided the granular daily UGC creation velocity metrics specifically required for 'Folded' or for a comparative analysis with other electronic songs.

Consequently, precise comparative analysis of 'Folded' UGC velocity is not possible. The absence of specific daily UGC creation velocity figures means that the exact rates for 'Folded' on TikTok and Instagram Reels in Q1 2026, and a comparative analysis against similar electronic tracks, cannot be established based on the research provided.

There is no evidence of Knock2 releasing or being officially featured on a new track or album with a collaborator who has previously achieved a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 within the 12 months preceding April 18, 2026. This specified period covers releases from April 18, 2025, to April 18, 2026.

Key Knock2 releases and collaborations predate the relevant timeframe. Knock2's debut LP 'nolimit' was released on January 26, 2025 ^[1]. Additionally, a collaboration between Knock2 and RL Grime was highlighted in a Billboard article published on November 7, 2024 ^[2]. Both of these events occurred before the beginning of the defined 12-month period, and no other relevant releases or featured collaborations by Knock2 within the designated timeframe are indicated by the provided sources.

The song 'Folded' by Kehlani has not been featured in major media. As of the available research, the song has not been explicitly identified in a key scene or official trailer for a major global media release between January 1, 2025, and April 1, 2026. This includes films with over $200 million worldwide box office, streaming series exceeding 1 billion minutes viewed in their first week per Nielsen, or video games selling more than 10 million units. The existence of the song 'Folded' by Kehlani is confirmed by its official music video ^[1].

No evidence found for 'Folded' in specific media releases. While a film titled 'Folded in Grey (2025)' is listed in The Movie Database (TMDB) with a release year within the specified timeframe ^[2], this entry solely refers to the movie's title and provides no details about the song 'Folded' being included in its soundtrack, trailer, or any promotional materials. Other reviewed sources also did not indicate any feature of the song. These sources encompassed trailers for 'Mother Mary' ^[3], the Netflix series 'Building the Band' ^[4], soundtrack guides for 'Adolescence' ^[5] and 'You' Season 5 ^[6], and discussions about video game music in 2025 ^[7]. None of these investigations revealed the inclusion of 'Folded' in a key scene or official trailer that meets the criteria for major global media releases during the January 1, 2025, to April 1, 2026, period.

Two superstar artists will release albums during April 10-16, 2026. For the chart tracking week of April 10-16, 2026, Snoop Dogg and BTS are confirmed to release albums ^[1]. A superstar artist is defined as an artist with at least two #1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. While Melanie Martinez also has an album release scheduled for April 10, 2026, her discography does not meet the superstar criteria; her highest-charting albums, "Portals" (2023), "K-12" (2019), and "Cry Baby" (2015), reached #2, #3, and #6 respectively, but none achieved the #1 position ^[2]. Therefore, Snoop Dogg and BTS are the confirmed superstar artists releasing albums during this period.

Snoop Dogg's discography includes multiple chart-topping Billboard 200 albums. He is scheduled to release an album on April 10, 2026 ^[1]. He qualifies as a superstar artist due to his past success on the Billboard 200, which includes #1 albums such as "Doggystyle" (1993) and "Tha Doggfather" (1996) ^[3].

Global sensation BTS consistently achieves multiple chart-topping albums. The group also has a confirmed album release for April 10, 2026 ^[1]. BTS has achieved numerous #1 albums on the Billboard 200, including "Love Yourself: Tear", "Love Yourself: Answer", "Map of the Soul: Persona", "Map of the Soul: 7", "Be", "Proof", and their most recent, "ARIRANG" ^[4].
