Time and again we see YouTube Shorts go viral simply because the beat of a song hits at the exact right moment. In March and April 2026, that beat has been the viral 360 cello version of the Charlie XCX song. This beat got very popular because it was part of the latest Bridgerton season. All the women started making Instagram Reels and it made its way to YouTube Shorts.
Peter Gregson is the composer of the song and here is his YouTube Channel. Prior to this instant hit, he did not have much traction on YouTube or in the music industry. He has since started to make a few YouTube Shorts which have gone semi viral. If he continues to push the 360 song to be used with any type of peaceful or calm video, he will have even more virality.
For those wondering what started this Internet trend, look no further than Netflix. The 360 song was featured in Hyacinth’s recital dance from Bridgerton Season 4. Instant virality. It does not hurt that the beat of the song makes you naturally want to skip or rock your head from side to side. Any human being with rhythm wants to move to this beat.
We will continue to track and see what Peter Gregson does with the new fame and publicity. We certainly hope he starts posting more behind the scenes information through YouTube Posts. Now that he has a viral beat, it will likely be the case that many other Shonda Rimes TV shows will have music by this incredible composer.
Now that Bridgerton is starting to slow down in terms of viewership, it will take the group fitness community to keep this hit song going. There will be thousands of yoga instructors, pilates coaches and general fitness teachers using this song which will make anyone that is fit interested in adding it to their favorite playlist.
