Disco Lines and Tinashe are grooving their way to the top. Their viral collaboration “No Broke Boys” has surged to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart this week, riding a wave of TikTok virality, festival spins, and high-profile DJ endorsements that have made it one of the most recognizable dance tracks of the summer.
The track, released earlier this year, blends Disco Lines’ infectious house production with Tinashe’s sharp, confident vocals. The result is an irresistible anthem that’s dominated club sets and sparked choreographed dance trends online. With pulsing basslines, slick beats, and the empowering hook “I don’t deal with no broke boys,” the song encapsulates the confident, carefree energy of the 2025 party season.
From TikTok to Top Charts
Disco Lines (real name Thadeus Labuszewski) has been making waves in the electronic music scene with his genre-blending, crowd-pleasing sound. But “No Broke Boys” represents a breakthrough moment for the Colorado-born producer. The track’s explosive popularity on TikTok played a key role in catapulting it to the top of the dance charts.
A dance challenge choreographed to the chorus of the song went viral in early June, with thousands of creators—including influencers and celebrities—joining in. The #NoBrokeBoysChallenge has amassed more than 450 million views to date, further fueling interest in the track across streaming platforms.
“This was one of those rare tracks where everything aligned,” Disco Lines told Billboard. “From the first time we played it at a show, the reaction was wild. Tinashe absolutely killed the vocals, and it’s been surreal to watch it take off the way it has.”
Tinashe’s Dancefloor Domination
For Tinashe, the song marks another milestone in her evolution from pop-R&B starlet to an independent dancefloor queen. Since parting ways with RCA Records and taking control of her music career, she’s carved out a distinctive lane blending electronic, alt-R&B, and house influences. “No Broke Boys” is her first No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
“I knew this song was special from the moment I recorded it,” said Tinashe in a statement. “It’s sassy, it’s fun, it’s empowering. I love making music that people can dance to and feel confident doing it.”
The track is also seeing success internationally, hitting the Top 10 in the UK’s Dance Singles Chart and gaining momentum in Australia and parts of Europe. It’s Tinashe’s most globally successful single since her 2014 breakout hit “2 On.”
DJ Support & Festival Love
Major DJs have championed the song from the start. Sets from Dom Dolla, Alesso, and even Calvin Harris at major festivals such as Ultra Miami and Tomorrowland included “No Broke Boys,” further pushing its popularity in the dance music scene.
“It’s got the kind of bounce that works in every set,” said Belgian DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. “It’s a perfect mix of catchy vocals and festival energy.”
Fans have also embraced the song in real life. At recent performances, Disco Lines has used the track as a set closer, prompting mass singalongs and impromptu dance-offs. Tinashe performed a club-ready version of it at this year’s BET Awards afterparty in Los Angeles, where the crowd’s reaction reportedly shook the floor.
Streaming & Sales Numbers
According to Luminate, “No Broke Boys” saw a 42% increase in streaming this week, pulling in 13.5 million U.S. streams and 3,200 digital downloads. It also topped Spotify’s Dance Rising and Apple Music’s Electronic Essentials playlists.
On YouTube, the official music video—featuring Tinashe and Disco Lines leading a group of dancers through an underground rave—has already surpassed 25 million views in just over a month. The stylized, neon-drenched visuals complement the song’s gritty glamour and have inspired countless fan recreations.
Empowerment Through Sound
The lyrical message of “No Broke Boys” has resonated with young listeners, especially Gen Z women and LGBTQ+ communities who embrace the song’s celebration of self-worth, standards, and financial independence.
Tinashe explained, “It’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s also about knowing your value. In a time when people are trying to reclaim their power—especially in relationships and dating—this song taps into that energy in a fun, danceable way.”
Online, fans have shared posts describing how the song gave them confidence on nights out, in the gym, or during big life changes. Some have even called it the “Hot Girl Summer” anthem of 2025.
What’s Next
Disco Lines and Tinashe are both capitalizing on the momentum. Tinashe is currently preparing for a fall European tour, and has teased a deluxe version of her 2024 album BB/ANG3L, which may include a remix or acoustic version of “No Broke Boys.”
Meanwhile, Disco Lines is working on a debut album slated for early 2026 and is expected to premiere new tracks at Electric Zoo and EDC Orlando later this year.
“There’s more on the way,” Disco Lines hinted. “But right now, I’m just grateful that this song found its people.”
As the summer heats up, “No Broke Boys” shows no signs of slowing down. With its fiery beat, confident message, and undeniable energy, the trac
k isn’t just topping dance charts—it’s defining them.
