Mac Miller's 'Cinderella' Returns to the Charts a Decade After The Divine Feminine
Mac Miller's 2016 album The Divine Feminine marked its 10th anniversary and returned to the Billboard 200 top 10. Its track 'Cinderella' became his second-highest-charting lead single, reaching No. 25 on the Hot 100 in July. Ty Dolla $ign and DJ Dahi discussed the song's resurgence, with Ty saying it felt like Miller was speaking from heaven.
The Divine Feminine arrived in 2016 and opened at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. A decade later, it re-entered the chart’s top 10. The record represented a creative leap for the Pittsburgh artist, moving from his earlier frat-rap persona toward a lush, romantic sound that examined love, closeness, and feminine energy.
“Cinderella” grew from a 2016 guitar loop by Sunni Colon that DJ Dahi developed with Aja Grant. Recorded in Los Angeles and Burbank, the track features Ty Dolla $ign’s hook and became Miller’s second-highest-charting lead single, hitting No. 25 on the Hot 100 in July.
The renewed chart success may introduce Miller’s catalog to younger listeners and give longtime fans a shared moment of remembrance. It could also show how posthumous releases and streaming-era rediscovery keep an artist’s work circulating, affecting his estate, collaborators, and the wider music industry. The song’s romantic vulnerability may resonate with listeners navigating love and loss, though its impact will likely remain cultural rather than broadly societal.
