‘The White Lotus’ Helps Billy Preston Earn A Posthumous Top 10 Smash
Apr 21, 2025
These days, the right sync in a popular TV show or movie can turn a forgotten classic into a charting hit, sending a decades-old cut surging back into the spotlight. That’s exactly what’s happened this week with one of Billy Preston’s best-known smashes. The late singer-songwriter is enjoying a chart comeback thanks to The White Lotus, and thanks to that placement, he earns a pair of important posthumous wins.

“Nothing From Nothing” Is One of Billy Preston’s Biggest Hits

“Nothing From Nothing” has long been a standout in Preston’s catalog. The track returns to the Billboard charts this week after a prominent placement in the series finale of The White Lotus. The cut debuts at No. 6 on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, easily entering the top 10. It also lands at No. 15 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales ranking.

Billy Preston Reaches Charts for the First Time

Neither of the rankings that “Nothing From Nothing” appears on this frame existed during Preston’s heyday. Both digital song sales lists track purchases on platforms like Amazon and iTunes—services that weren’t introduced until the early 2000s, just a few years before Preston’s death in 2006.
“Nothing From Nothing” gives Preston his first-ever appearance on these rosters, including a debut top 10 on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart.
