When it comes to the TikTok Music Charts, you might be surprised to learn that an app predominantly used by young people loves to listen to the oldies!
In fact, as of Friday, September 19, Al Green's cover of the Bee Gees hit "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is No. 6 under Viral Songs.
Green, 79, released his cover on January 31, 1972, as part of his fourth studio album, Let's Stay Together. The Bee Gees released the original one year earlier on their eighth studio album, Trafalgar.

"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, and was their first U.S. No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
Unlike Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" or Tim McGraw's "Something Like That," it doesn't appear as though Green's "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is going viral as part of a specific trend. It looks like TikTok users just love listening to the song — no gimmicky dance moves or memes required!
