Nicki Minaj Passes Jay-Z In Combined Billboard Charting Weeks

by

In addition to the numerous weekly charts Billboard tracks in order to display the most popular songs all around the world, they also have a ton of data on some of the biggest artists around. One of the stats they keep track of is combined weeks between the Hot 100 and Billboard 200. The stat does a good job of showing which artists dominate the charts with both their albums and singles. Among rappers, there was just a shake-up in the top 10 of all-time combined weeks on the two biggest charts.

The top 5 features the kinds of superstars you’d expect. Future clocks in at just over 2000 combined weeks with Kanye West and Lil Wayne also landing in the 2000s. Eminem comes in at second place with just over 3000 weeks. But at number one with an astonishing 6142 weeks, more than double anybody else, is Drake. But looking to join both the 2000 club and the top 5 soon is Nicki Minaj. Her recent chart success has officially propelled her past Jay-Z for 6th all-time among rappers. She currently sits at 1945 combined weeks between the Hot 100 and Billboard 200.

Nicki Minaj Newest Chart Achievement

Nicki Minaj has added quite a bit to her total combined weeks in the past few months. That started with her new album Pink Friday 2 which dropped back in December. It was her first new album since 2018 and ended up causing increased streaming numbers for a lot of her older albums. The record also dropped numerous songs into the Hot 100.

Fan favorites like “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert and “FTCU” are still on the Hot 100 two months after the album dropped. She also got a single extra week of charting from her heavily-maligned Megan Thee Stallion diss track “Big Foot.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj moving to 6th all time among rappers in combined Billboard 200 and Hot 100 weeks? Does anybody on the top 10 list surprise you? Let us know in the comment section below.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 24, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Noah Kahan — “Stick Season”

Stick Season was Kahan’s first top-10 album (top-3, actually) on the Billboard 200, and now he has reached another milestone on the Hot 100: Rising from No. 11 to No. 10 this week, the album’s title track is Kahan’s first top-10 single.

9. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

Aside from hanging around in the top 10 this week, “Greedy” is now McRae’s first No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, meaning it’s a hit on radio.

8. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

While the Bryan/Musgraves collab is sliding down the Hot 100 a bit, it’s still No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts, for a 25th week each.

7. SZA — “Snooze”

Similarly, “Snooze” is also faltering on the Hot 100 some, but it leads the Hot R&B Songs chart for a 29th week.

6. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

The people love Taylor Swift: She just won some People’s Choice Awards, and Swift’s 2019 hit “Cruel Summer” is just outside of the top 5 here in 2024.

5. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Swims’ breakout hit previously peaked at No. 2 last week, but it still holds strong in the top 5 this week.

4. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Again, similar story with Boone: His favorite was No. 3 last week and now it has slightly backtracked to No. 4, thanks in part to two noteworthy debuts ahead of it.

3. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign — “Carnival”

Despite Kanye and Ty’s new album Vultures 1 being temporarily taken off of Apple Music, it still managed to top the Billboard 200. Now, “Carnival” enjoys a respectable No. 3 debut here on the Hot 100.

2. Beyoncé — “Texas Hold ‘Em”

Last week, Kanye West caught wind of a Swiftie campaign to stream and buy “Texas Hold ‘Em” so the Beyoncé song would debut above him on the new chart. Who knows how much impact that actually had, but whatever the case, the desired outcome was reached as the song enters the Hot 100 at No. 2.

1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

The whole Kanye-vs.-Beyoncé situation was beneath Jack Harlow this week, though, as “Lovin On Me” is No. 1 for its sixth nonconsecutive week.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 17, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Miley Cyrus — “Flowers”

Three songs that had big moments at the 2024 Grammys saw some noteworthy chart movement this week, with Cyrus’ former No. 1 “Flowers” re-entering the top 10 after spending last week at No. 32.

9. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”

“Agora Hills” was at its Hot 100 high of No. 7 this week before sliding down to No. 9 this time around.

8. Luke Combs — “Fast Car”

Combs’ “Fast Car” cover had a Cyrus-like rise after he performed the song with Tracy Chapman herself, bouncing up to No. 8 from No. 20.

7. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

While “Greedy” slid down a couple spots from No. 5 last week, it did sell some more copies after McRae performed the song at the NHL All-Star Game on February 3.

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

“I Remember Everything” once again leads various Billboard charts, ranking No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 24th week and the Hot Country Songs for a 20th time.

5. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” was barely hanging onto a top-10 placement last week, but after it was included in SZA’s Grammys performance medley, it gained a few spots to return to the top 5.

4. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Swift has a new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on the way, but in the meantime, “Cruel Summer” is maintaining a strong chart presence for Swift before her new songs inevitably take over.

3. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Boone’s viral hit hit the top 10 for the first time at No. 8 last week, and now its ascent continues as it climbed all the way to a new high at No. 3.

2. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Similar story for Swims: “Lose Control” was No. 4 last week and now it’s angling for the top spot after its rise to No. 2 this week.

1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Harlow’s hit has been jostled in and out of the No. 1 spot a handful of times now, but it’s on top once again for a fifth total week after spending last week at No. 2, behind Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” (which didn’t make this week’s top 10 after its chart-topping debut).

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated February 10, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” was released as a single back in April 2023, and it’s had an impressive chart run. It’s just barely hanging onto the top 10 now after dipping from No. 9 last week.

9. 21 Savage — “Redrum”

Savage did the ol’ switcheroo with SZA’s hit single, leaping from No. 10 to No. 9, two weeks after debuting in the No. 5 spot.

8. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

TikTok really is helping form the future of music: Boone gained popularity on the platform and now he has his first top-10 single with “Beautiful Things” which debuted on the chart at No. 15 last week.

7. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”

Doja’s “Agora Hills” is hanging strong, matching its previous high at No. 7 this week. Now, about that face tattoo…

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

Bryan and Musgraves’ hit continues to dominate the charts: Aside from No. 6 on the Hot 100, it’s No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, the Hot Rock Songs chart (for the 23rd week for both), and the Hot Country Songs chart (19 weeks).

5. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

A lot of songs have been sticking around the top 10 for weeks now, and that includes “Greedy,” which remains just a few spots off its previous high at No. 3.

4. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Like Boone, Swims recently landed his first top-10 single. “Lose Control” reached a new high of No. 4 last week, and that’s where it remains this frame.

3. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

“Cruel Summer” continues to dominate, but get ready for a new crop of Swift songs to charge up the Hot 100 soon.

2. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

Harlow had four weeks at No. 1 with “Lovin On Me,” including a chart-topping stint last week. Now, though, we have a new Hot 100 champion.

1. Megan Thee Stallion — “Hiss”

Megan is No. 1 with her new single “Hiss,” which is bound to upset a number of people, as the diss track goes after some of her fellow artists. “Hiss” is Meg’s third chart topper, following “Savage” and “WAP,” with “Hiss” being Meg’s first solo No. 1.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” Expected To Score Top 10 Debut

by

Everybody in the rap world is talking about Megan Thee Stallion’s new song “HISS.” While she doesn’t name many names, the song still manages to settle seemingly dozens of scores with those who wronged her. The one that most people gravitated towards is Nicki Minaj. Nicki spat some lyrics on her new album Pink Friday 2 that many interpreted as a diss at Megan and now the “Savage” rapper has responded. Nicki’s answer to Megan’s new diss track has been the very definition of maximal.

Minaj has been tweeting nearly constantly throughout the entire weekend and into this week. Some of those tweets spanned hundreds of words but were occasionally completely incomprehensible. It all came to a head when she dropped “Big Foot” a response song that she teased all weekend. Unfortunately for Nicki, fans nearly universally rejected the track for seeming hastily assembled and lacking in any clever punchlines. The response may look even weaker if “HISS” continues its hot start. Check out the newest projection for the diss track below.

Megan Thee Stallion Heading For Top 10 Debut

As of the newest chart projections, Megan Thee Stallion could land in the top 10 of the Hot 100 next week. It would be the first time she’s ever debuted a solo song in the top 10. She would join artists like Ariana Grande and 21 Savage who have debuted songs in the top 10 so far in 2024.

Megan is using the attention from the diss as a platform to make some major announcements. She confirmed that she’s taking off on tour later this year and fans will have even more new music to look forward to hearing at the shows. Details are scant but she revealed she’s planning on dropping a new album before the tour starts. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s Nicki Minaj diss track being projected to debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100? Let us know in the comment section below.

21 Savage’s “american dream” Expected To Spend A Second Week At Number One

by

In 2023 it took almost half the year before any rap album landed at the number one spot on the Billboard 200. Artists like Young Thug, Lil Durk, and Gunna landed in the top 5. But it took Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape to finally hit number one. 2024 didn’t have any such drought. The first new number-one album of the year was 21 Savage’s american dream which hit the top spot last week with over 130k sales in its first week. The album stayed well ahead of other new projects from Kali Uchis and Kid Cudi that came out in the same week.

Now early projections are emerging for next week’s Billboard 200 and it’s good news once again for 21 Savage. The rapper is projected to spend a second week at the very top spot on the charts selling just under 70k copies. The biggest challenger among new albums is pop-punk band Green Day. The veteran band just released their new album, Saviors. It’s their first since 2020’s Father Of All and the new record is projected to sell more than 50k in its first week. Another challenger to the top spot are Morgan Wallen’s massive 2023 effort One Thing At A Time. Drake’s For All The Dogs and Noah Kahan’s Stick Season round out the top 5 of the projection. Check out the full top 20 predictions below.

21 Savage Could Reign The Billboard 200 For A Second Week

The Billboard 200 isn’t the only place where Savage is performing well. Two of the songs from his new album debuted in the top 10 in their first week on the Hot 100. “nee-nah” which featured Travis Scott and Metro Boomin landed at number 10. “redrum” proved to be the album’s breakout hit debuting inside the top 5.

Earlier today, Shannon Sharpe released his new interview with 21 Savage. The rapper appeared on his Club Shay Shay show to discuss a variety of topics. One of the most notable moments came when Savage told the story of being shot on his 21st birthday. He went into incredible detail about his feelings and actions throughout the traumatic event. What do you think of 21 Savage’s new album spending a second week at the top spot on the Billboard 200? Let us know in the comment section below.

Lil Nas X’s New Single Scores Middling Hot 100 Debut

by

For an artist of Lil Nas X’s caliber songs are expected to be massive hits right away. That wasn’t the case with his new single “J CHRIST.” The song just hit the Hot 100 this week but was far lower down the chart than many expected. The same week that Ariana Grande debuted her new song “yes, and?” at the very top spot, “J CHRIST” just landed at number 69. Some of the rapper’s previous hits like “THAT’S WHAT I WANT” started off slow before becoming smash successes. But for the long-awaited lead single for his second album, many fans are underwhelmed.

Another element hampering the debut of “J CHRIST” is the new 21 Savage album american dream. The project debuted 14 of its 15 songs on the Hot 100, 13 of which placed above “J CHRIST” on the charts. Two of those songs “redrum” and “nee-nah” landed inside the top 10. Two additional songs “all of me” and “n.h.i.e” place in the top 20. “J CHRIST” has racked up more than 11 million streams on Spotify and its music video has over 12 million views, so the song is clearly getting some attention. It remains to be seen whether the song will fade from the Hot 100 quickly or become a sleeper hit over time.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated January 27, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and Metro Boomin — “Née-nah”

21 Savage’s new album American Dream made a splash on the Hot 100 in its opening week, as the rapper has two songs in this week’s top 10: This Travis Scott and Metro Boomin collab, and another song coming up on this list.

9. SZA — “Snooze”

While SZA’s No.-2-peaking “Snooze” appears to be on its way out of the top 10, it remains at No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart for a 25th week.

8. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Last week was a major career milestone for Teddy Swims, as “Lose Control” became his first top-10 single. It debuted at No. 8 and hangs onto that same spot this week.

7. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

A former No. 1 for three total weeks, “Paint The Town Red” had a slight slide this week, down from No. 5 to No. 7.

6. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

Another former No. 1 (but for just one week), Bryan and Musgraves’ collab is hanging around the top 10 still, at No. 6.

5. 21 Savage — “Redrum”

And here’s the other new Savage song in the top 10. Notably, “Redrum” is Savage’s first top-10 single that features no other artist beside himself.

4. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

The current all-time high for McRae sits at No. 3, a spot it held last week, so it had a slight demotion in the latest frame.

3. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

The staying power of Swift’s 2019 single “Cruel Summer” has been phenomenal, as it’s been in the top 3 of that chart for what feels like forever at this point.

2. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

“Lovin On Me” previously spent three weeks at No. 1, but this week, it made way for a new champion.

1. Ariana Grande — “Yes, And?”

Grande has the first song released in 2024 to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. “Yes, And?” is Grande’s eighth chart-topper of her career, and if you want to get super granular with the trivia, it’s the first No. 1 song with the word “yes” in its title.
