Baby Shark has entered the Billboard Hot 100 at a pretty impressive number 32, and is number 6 in the UK charts, beating stars like Ellie Goulding and Lil Wayne after rocketing to fame on YouTube.
Just when you thought you'd got it out of your head.
After the song, created by South Korean media company Pinkfong, has been viewed more than 2 billion times on YouTube, it's become the 25th most viewed video on the site ever.
The infectiously catchy tune has swum into the charts after a whopping 73% of streams in the last week were from the video, according to the New York Times.
Although it was posted back in 2015, the internet's obsession with the song didn't start until 2016.
Since, it's seen countless remixes, with celebrities like Ellen Degeneres, James Corden, Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield joining in on the trend.
And people are still bopping to it in the year of our lord 2019, with one fan tweeting: 'Why yes, my whole team is watching a Baby Shark compilation video on youtube right now. How's your day going?'
'Call me a wave rider, but Baby Shark is the catchiest song since Call Me Maybe,' another added.

One more fan pointed out: 'Someone, in an office somewhere, is trying to figure out how to make Baby Shark: The Movie.'
We're not even mad.
It's certainly not the first time an internet obsession has caused a song to climb the charts, especially considering the UK Christmas number one this year was claimed by YouTuber LadBaby.
The 'dad-vlogger' beat Ariana Grande and Ava Max to the top spot with his song about sausage rolls, after the internet fell in love with him.

Elsewhere, Korean star Psy's track Gangnam Style debuted at number 64 in the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2012 after becoming the most watched YouTube video of all time.
The viral tune, and its popular dance routine, had people across the globe hooked for months, and was only the second K-Pop song to enter the chart.
And it doesn't look like Baby Shark is going away any quicker.
