Kendrick Lamar Blocks Shaboozey From Breaking An All-Time Hot 100 Record As A New ‘GNX’ Song Debuts At No. 1

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the past few weeks now, all eyes have been on Shaboozey and “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” to see if the track would beat the all-time record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. As of last week, Shaboozey tied the high mark of 19 weeks set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.” One more week and Shaboozey owns the record outright, with the first song to hit 20 weeks at No. 1.

Well, that’s not happening this week.

On the new Hot 100 chart dated December 7, Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX dominates. Lamar has 7 of this week’s top 10 songs, including “Squabble Up” at No. 1, which is Lamar’s fifth chart-topper and his third of just 2024. As for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” it has been pushed all the way down to No. 6.

That said, this doesn’t mean “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is finished its No. 1 run. This is actually the third time the track has been replaced in the top spot: Lamar’s “Not Like Us” took over for a week in July, then Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” had a week on top in November before Shaboozey reclaimed his spot. So, if listening activity on Lamar’s new album dies down after its opening week, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” could make yet another return to No. 1 and set a new all-time high.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” Leads A Dominate Debut For “GNX” On The Billboard Hot 100

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s new song, “squabble up,” has debuted at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with several of his GNX tracks right below it. Rounding out the top five on the chart are “tv off,” “luther,” “wacced out murals,” and “hey now.” Also in the top ten are “reincarnated” and “man at the garden.” Overall, GNX landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart having moved over 300,000 album equivalent units.

The success of the project comes despite it being a surprise release for the “Not Like Us” rapper. Instead of running a lengthy promotional campaign for the project, he let the virality of his feud with Drake build up the hype. He addresses that beef at several points on the project.

Even DJ Akademiks praised Kendrick Lamar for the success of his new album. “I think it’s a decent number,” he said on a recent livestream. “It’s definitely a good number for Kendrick. And I understand that there’s a bunch of Drake fans here and Kendrick fans here who want to compete and compare these two. There is no comparison. I keep trying to tell you: Kendrick could die 15 deaths, he doesn’t compete with Drake overall for streaming.” He then described GNX as a “stellar” release for him.

Kendrick Lamar Dominates The Billboard Hot 100

Looking ahead, Lamar will be headlining the halftime show of Super Bowl LIX in February. He’ll likely perform several songs off of GNX at the event. He’s yet to officially confirm if he’ll be going on tour after the show. Check out the full top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 below.

Kendrick Lamar Set To Dominate The Billboard Top 10 And Nab A No. 1 Song In The Process

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Many people in 2024 put forth the idea that Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have a lot of successful hits. Funnily enough, it feels like his new album GNX has nothing but that. Moreover, this is not only another great body of work from the Compton lyricist, but it’s also probably his most blunt and immediate one to date, which translates pretty well into catchy choruses, banger beats, and high-rising hits. New first week projections indicate that he will land eight cuts from the record on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, including a prediction that “squabble up” will go all the way at number one.

Per this sales projection, “tv off,” “luther,” “wacced out murals,” and “hey now” will occupy slots two through five. Then, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars will interrupt Kendrick Lamar’s streak via “Die With A Smile” at number six, followed by Shaboozey’s ever-present “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at number seven. Then, the K.Dot train continues with “reincarnated,” “man at the garden,” and “dodger blue” rounding out the top ten in descending order from eight. Not bad, if you ask us.

Kendrick Lamar Could Take Over The Billboard Hot 100

While the topic of Kendrick Lamar and sales is a particularly spicy one now, the legal petition from Drake actually has very little to do with that battle. In either case, people would still spin GNX a lot, and we predict that this is the project that will carry us out into the end of the year. Folks are very curious to see how it actually performs commercially, especially considering that sales projections for it just get better and better. Also, the lack of promotion for the LP given its surprise nature makes these numbers particularly interesting to analyze.

Meanwhile, the praise for GNX remains high among fans and critics alike, even from unexpected corners. Kendrick Lamar definitely found a hit with this new album, and that’s amazing when you think about fans’ theories of a better, more purposeful album on the way. Even if that’s true, we’re happy to wait a while for it. This Hot 100 projection shows that this entire project has a lot of resonant ideas.

Shaboozey Is Officially Tied For The Longest-Running No. 1 Single Of All Time With ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

In recent weeks, chart watchers have been intently keeping an eye on the Billboard Hot 100, to see if Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has what it takes to become the longest-running No. 1 single in chart history. Prior to the latest chart (dated November 30), the song had been on top for 18 weeks, one shy of the 19-week record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”

Well, the top 10 of the new chart is out now, and sure enough, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is No. 1 yet again, for a 19th total week, and has tied the all-time record. While the song is knotted for the overall record, it does extend its reign as the longest-running No. 1 song by a performer without an accompanied artist.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is excelling across the Billboard chart landscape: It’s also No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a 17th week and on the Hot Country Songs chart for a 23rd week.

Meanwhile, Teddy Swims just achieved a more under-the-radar accomplishment: “Lose Control,” at No. 4 this week, is in the top 10 for a 45th week, which is now the second-most of all time, behind only The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” with 57 top-10 weeks.

Shaboozey Is Now A Week Away From Tying The Longest-Ever No. 1 Run On The Hot 100 With ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in July, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became his first-ever No. 1 song. Now, it’s November, nearly December, and the song is still on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That remains true on the latest chart, dated November 23 and revealed today.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has now been No. 1 for 18 total weeks, which means it’s just one week shy of matching the all-time record for the most weeks spent on top: 19, previously achieved by Lil Nas X and Billie Ray Cyrus’ 2019 hit “Old Town Road.” The song is also No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart for the 22nd week, the longest run this year.

Meanwhile, this week also has good news for Gracie Abrams: Her surging single “That’s So True” rises from No. 13 to No. 6 on the latest chart, making it her first-ever top-10 song on the Hot 100. Her previous high was at No. 19 with “I Love You, I’m Sorry” in October. Both songs come from Abrams’ latest album, The Secret Of Us (“That’s So True” was released on the deluxe edition). Both tracks were co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner.

Shaboozey, meanwhile, is starting to look towards post-“A Bar Song” life, as he just released a new single, “Good News.”

Shaboozey Officially Has The Biggest Solo Song In ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 History As ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Is No. 1 Yet Again

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A couple weeks ago, Morgan Wallen knocked Shaboozey’s long-running No. 1 hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” off the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That didn’t last long, though, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” made its way back to No. 1 and hit 16 total weeks, which tied it for the second-most ever.

Now, the top 10 of the latest Hot 100 chart (dated November 16) is out, and Shaboozey is No. 1 yet again. That’s 17 total weeks now, meaning “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now has sole ownership of the No. 2 spot of all time, behind Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” at 19 weeks. This means that “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is currently the longest-running No. 1 song ever by an unaccompanied artist with no features.

Elsewhere on this week’s chart, Tyler The Creator’s “Sticky” (featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne) rises to No. 1, making it his third top-10 single. His first two came just last week, when “St. Chroma” debuted at No. 7 at “Noid” at No. 10. Neither of those songs are in this week’s top 10, though. “Sticky” is also the first top-10 single for Sexyy Red, the second for GloRilla, and the 26th (but the first in over four years) for Lil Wayne.

Tyler, The Creator Does Something He’s Never Done Before On The Charts Thanks To “Chromakopia”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In just a matter of weeks, Tyler, The Creator was able to create immense hype for a new album. It was a pretty sudden and stunning move by the eclectic California multi-talent, but his fans were ready. However, for a new album from one of the biggest hip-hop acts of this generation, CHROMAKOPIA didn’t have a typical release date. T has been preaching that musicians need to go back to dropping new material at the top of the week to allow the listeners to really digest what they are hearing. It was a bold move that wound up working in his favor anyway, as his seventh studio LP would go on to top the Billboard Hot 200.

It moved an astounding 297,500 copies in its first week on the market with a whopping 142,000 coming from pure sales. It’s also his third consecutive time doing this, with 2019’s IGOR, and 2021’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST being those other titles. So yes, that isn’t too big of news. However, what is huge is the chart performance of CHROMAKOPIA in terms of its songs. According to Uproxx, Tyler has just done something he’s never accomplished before.

With the new Hot 100 chart now here, the veteran has landed two tracks within the top 10. “St. Chroma” with Daniel Caesar is the higher of the two, sliding in at seven. “Noid,” one of the lead-off cuts, sneaks in at the tenth spot. But the rest of the album did extremely well too. The remainder of the tracklist would find their way into the mix, with the next highest, “Sticky,” coming in at 14. The lowest of them, “I Hope Your Find Your Way Home,” respectably dropped into the 65th spot.

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator nabbing his first top 10 placement within the Hot 100 chart this week? Do you think more will crack into the upper echelon? Will the two current songs move up at all? What songs are your favorite from CHROMAKOPIA? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Tyler, The Creator. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Tyler The Creator Just Landed His First Two Top-10 Songs Despite An Incomplete Tracking Week

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Most new songs and albums are released on Fridays, because that’s when the tracking week for Billboard chart eligibility starts. So, dropping a new release on any other day presents a chart disadvantage, since the song/album misses out on days of listening activity. That said, all of this didn’t stop Tyler The Creator from being successful with his latest project, Chromakopia, which he released on a Monday.

Since the album was released on a Monday, it missed out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from its debut week, meaning the project’s debut numbers all came from four days. Despite that disadvantage, Chromakopia debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The project had an impact on the Hot 100 chart revealed today (November 4), too. On the chart dated November 9, Tyler’s “St. Chroma” featuring Daniel Caesar debuts at No. 7, while Noid also cracked the top 10 in the final spot. These are Tyler’s first-ever top-10 songs. His previous high was at No. 13 with Igor standout “Earfquake” in 2019.

The other most noteworthy song in this week’s Hot 100 top-10 is Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which returns to No. 1 for a 16th total week. It is now tied for the second-most weeks spent at No. 1, alongside Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night”; Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito”; and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day.” It’s now behind only Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”

For The First Time In Three Months, Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Isn’t No. 1 On The Hot 100

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in July, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” then claimed the top spot the next week, but after that, it was all Shaboozey for a long time. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” went on to spend 14 consecutive weeks at No. 1, since the chart dated July 27. Now, after 15 total weeks, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is no longer No. 1.

On the chart dated November 2, Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” debuts in the top spot, knocking Shaboozey down to No. 2.

Ultimately, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has spent more time at No. 1 than any other song in 2024; The next closest is Post Malone and Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” which enjoyed six weeks on top this year. On the all-time list for most weeks at No. 1, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is behind only Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” (19 weeks); Wallen’s “Last Night”; Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito”; and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” (16 weeks each). It’s also tied with Harry Styles’ “As It Was” at 15 weeks.

Elsewhere on the chart, Bruno Mars and Rosé’s “APT.” has the week’s biggest debut at No. 8. Mars and Lady Gaga’s “Die With A Smile” is also at No. 4, making this the first week Mars has had two top-10 singles since 2013, with “When I Was Your Man” and “Locked Out Of Heaven.”

Drake’s Impressive Streak Ends After Completely Falling Off The Billboard Hot 100 Chart

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In the modern era, there aren’t many more musical artists quite like Drake. The Canadian native is a titan when it comes to performing on the charts. You can argue the quality of his music over the last several years has dropped. But overall, no matter how some may feel, the guy is almost always near the top of the heap and that goes for any genre. All you have to do is go back to yesterday when it was reported that he was the top streaming rapper for September on Spotify, keeping his streak of pulling in the most for every month in 2024 alive.

However, there may be a chance that he loses that incredible run. There are a lot of rappers that could knock him of the pedestal. After all, all good things come to end. Unfortunately, that has actually come to fruition as of today for one of Drake’s spectacular stats/runs. According to Rap TV, with this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart update, The Boy is no longer on the list in any capacity.

Drake’s Reign Was Bound To End At Some Point

Obviously, in this case, that means no singles nor features. It’s extra saddening for him because he’s been on the Hot 100 every week since April 2022. This could be looked at in a multitude of ways. Of course, with the recent end to the Kendrick Lamar feud, some are going to point to people seeing him differently after some of things that were laid out in the disses. Another viewpoint would be that the lack of quality (which we mentioned earlier) could be factoring in enough for a lot of hip-hop fans. Furthermore, there’s also the fact that he has not been dropping a ton outside of the beef.

What are your thoughts on Drake not having a single or a feature on the Billboard Hot 100 anymore? Do you think this has to do more with his quality dropping off, or because of Kendrick Lamar? Will he ever have that long of a streak again? When will he return to the chart? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
