Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘NCIS: Origins’ Synch Leads March 2025 Top TV Songs Chart

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” is No. 1 on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for March 2025, topping the tally following a synch in NCIS: Origins.

Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of March 2025.

“Free Bird” appears in the 15^th episode of NCIS: Origins’ inaugural season, premiering on March 31 on CBS. The new series is a spinoff of CBS’ long-running NCIS franchise and was renewed for a second season earlier this year.

In March 2025, “Free Bird” earned 12.3 million official on-demand U.S. streams and 2,000 downloads, according to Luminate. One of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s signature tracks, the song peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975.

Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over” follows at No. 2 on Top TV Songs, a byproduct of its feature in the latest season of Invincible. Heard in the seventh episode of the third season (March 6), the song is one of a pair of entries on the latest chart from the Amazon Prime Video animated series, ahead of Nine Inch Nails’ “Every Day Is Exactly the Same” at No. 8 (episode eight, March 13).

“When the Party’s Over” notched 16.1 million streams and 1,000 downloads in March 2025, while “Every Day Is Exactly the Same” earned 2 million streams and 1,000 downloads. The former peaked at No. 29 on the Hot 100 in 2019, one of Eilish’s breakthrough tracks, while the latter reached No. 56 on the chart in 2006 and led the Alternative Airplay tally for four weeks that year.

Mondo Cozmo’s “Shine” ranks at No. 3 on Top TV Songs, buoyed by a synch in the eighth episode of season three of Reacher (March 27), scoring 320,000 streams and 3,000 downloads. The latter metric drove the song onto the Rock Digital Song Sales chart for the first time, entering at No. 8 on the April 5 survey and rising to No. 2 on the April 12 list. The song was a one-week No. 1 for the band on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart in 2017.

And Severance, which wrapped up its second season in March, boasts four entries on the latest Top TV Songs, led by The Alan Parsons Project’s “Sirius” at No. 4 (1.2 million streams, 1,000 downloads).
