Babydoll and UK Chart History

"Babydoll" was released on 7 August 2026 via Republic Records. A TikTok dance trend sparked after actress Jennifer Love Hewitt posted videos featuring the track. An official duet version with actor and singer Antonio Cipriano was released on 18 September 2026, and the pair performed it on Strictly Come Dancing on 25 October 2026. In the week of 23 October 2026, "Babydoll" hit UK No. 1 — making Miller the first Welsh artist to top the chart in 15 years (since Sian Evans on DJ Fresh's "Louder" in 2011) and the first solo male Welsh artist in 41 years (since Shakin' Stevens in 1985). It edged out Tate McRae's "Housewife" by just 556 chart units, and also topped US Pop iTunes while debuting on the Billboard Hot 100.
