Kanye West Secures The No. 1 Spot On The New ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 Chart, Marking His First Chart-Topper In Over A Decade

In music, the artist that dominates the charts tends to lead the pack. So, each week, when Billboard reveals the top 10 songs on its Hot 100 chart, entertainers and fans alike pause to comb over the results.

After weeks of streaming battles between music’s biggest names, the new rankings are ready for all to see. Continue below for the track-by-track breakdown for the chart dated March 16.

10. Taylor Swift – “Cruel Summer”

Until Taylor Swift‘s forthcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department is released, the Swifties are working hard to ensure the singer doesn’t leave the chart. Instead of latching onto her most recent project, Midnight, they’ve latched onto 2019’s “Cruel Summer.” Her Lover-era is long since over, but the public’s admiration for the track clearly isn’t.

9. Doja Cat – “Agora Hills”

Over the weekend, Doja Cat announced her departure from the popular social media platform Instagram. But she couldn’t abandon the music charts even if she tried. Her stand-out Scarlet track “Agora Hills” has continued to hold tight in Billboard‘s top 10. The record could sneakily snatch the No. 1 slot if her die-hard fans work hard enough at it.

8. SZA – “Snooze”

There’s no sleeping on SZA’s sheer star power. The multiple Grammy Award winner’s sophomore album, SOS, is nearly two years old, and yet it still hasn’t left the charts. The project’s fan favorite, “Snooze,” has continued to showcase just how mighty SZA’s pen can be in the No. 8 spot.

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

The more Zach Bryan travels across the world on his Quittin Time Tour, the more he makes a country music fan out of all within earshot. Undoubtedly, the most addictive song on his self-titled album is “I Remember Everything.” The debut with Kacey Musgraves will surely be looked back on as a classic years down the line. So, it is no wonder why the track sets comfortably at No. 7.

6. Tate McRae – “Greedy”

Uproxx cover star Tate McRae’s recent live performance at the 2024 BRITS gave her breakout hit “Greedy” an added boost on the charts. For 25 weeks, the song has made the Hot 100 chart its home, peaking at No. 3 back in September. But with McRae’s string of live shows and the constant push on TikTok, another surge could be in the works.

5. Beyoncé — “Texas Hold ‘Em”

Beyoncé and her yeehaw agenda is a force to be reckoned with. With Act II only a few weeks away, the project’s lead single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” won’t loosen its grip on the Beyhive. Although it has fallen out of the No. 1 slot, thanks to the fan-crafted viral lineup, it could gitty up right back to the top quite soon.

4. Benson Boone – “Beautiful Things”

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” is showing subtle growth. In prior weeks, the track dropped from its peak position at No. 2 to No. 3. But for the week of March 16, the record climbed a slot up to No. 4.

3. Jack Harlow – “Lovin On Me”

Jack Harlow’s viral sensation “Lovin On Me” has refused to fall out of favor. Like the rapper, the record ebbs and flows based on which way the industry trends. While it currently sits at No. 3, it could very easily snatch its previously held No. 1 position.

2. Teddy Swims – “Lose Control”

Teddy Swims‘ “Lose Control” glides right back into the top two of this week’s Hot 100 chart. Due to its continued popularity, next week could be the moment when the song takes over at No. 1. But for right now, the growth to No. 2 will work just fine for the singer.

1. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign — “Carnival” Feat. Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti

At No. 1 is none other than Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign. After a fierce battle with Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the collaborative duo Vultures 1 track, “Carnival,” featuring Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti, has snagged the top spot. According to Complex, this marked West’s first No. 1 song in 13 years.

Some artist-led festivals have made big names for themselves, like Pharrell’s Something In The Water, The Roots’ Roots Picnic, and most notably, Lollapalooza, originally launched by Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction. Now, Jack Harlow is getting into the festival game, too: Today (February 28), he announced Gazebo Festival, a two-day event that runs from May 25 to 26 at Louisville, Kentucky’s Waterfront Park.

This first edition of the fest, which shares its name with Harlow’s 2017 mixtape Gazebo and will feature two stages, will be headlined by SZA and Harlow himself. Beyond them, the full lineup features James Blake (doing a DJ set), Omar Apollo, PinkPantheress, Vince Staples, Amaarae, Channel Tres, Majid Jordan, Slum Village, Veeze, Dahi, Jordan Ward, Ravyn Lenae, Rich Homie Quan, BNYX, James Savage, Karrahbooo, and Malcolm Todd.

Will Jack Harlow Release A ‘Lovin On Me’ Remix?

Jack Harlow has a major hit on his hands with “Lovin On Me,” as the single has so far spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. A common way to keep a big song’s momentum going is to release a new remix featuring another artist, but is that something Harlow is looking to do?

Will Jack Harlow Release A “Lovin On Me” Remix?

It doesn’t look like it: Over the weekend, a TMZ staffer approached Harlow and asked, “You have the biggest song in the world, obviously. Are you going to do a remix?” He responded, “Uh, probably not, probably not. I gotta go.”

The original song itself is a bit of a remix, in a sense, as it’s built on a sample of Cadillac Dale’s 1995 song “Whatever (Bass Soliloquy).”

Harlow has had a relatively quiet 2024 so far, mostly just enjoying the success of “Lovin On Me,” which was released in November 2023. That year, he also released his latest album, Jackman. The project was well-received and he wrote at the time, “2 weeks have passed and I just wanna say the love & respect I’ve felt from not only my peers… but from YALL…the fans…the folks that have supported me from the beginning…it feels f*ckin amazing… I have never felt so connected to the people listening to my music…thank you.”

Here Is Where You Can Get Jack Harlow’s New Balance 550 Colorways

NB Harlow
New Balance/Uproxx

The New Balance 550 is a modern classic. And I say “modern classic” knowing full well the sneaker was introduced in 1989. After the sneaker’s initial run, it was all but forgotten in NB’s archives until 2020 when Aimé Leon Dore reintroduced the sneaker to the public with a few now-iconic limited drops. The reintroduction of the 550 was so popular that New Balance made ALD founder Teddy Santis its creative director, and together Santis and NB have taken the brand from a niche audience to the mainstream.

The brand hitting its stride and getting love from a new generation is a good thing. New Balance sneakers are dope, and a lot of that has to do with the immaculate design and smart branding. And we can’t think of a better person to be a brand ambassador than Jack Harlow. Harlow, with his minimalist and to-the-point aesthetic (his best music is plain and simple rap, no sub-genres required) reflects the simplicity of New Balance in the Teddy Santis era. So it’s no huge mystery why the brand tapped Harlow to introduce brand new colorways of the 550.

Launching exclusively at Foot Locker this Thursday, the new colorways include a sneaker that combines Sea Salt, Reflection, Olivine & Dark Olivine, and another in Reflection, Sea Salt, and Grey Matter. The colorway names are excessively complicated, as is per usual with New Balance. Seriously, they could’ve just titled these sneakers “Olive” and “Light Blue.”

The sneakers retail for $110 and feature a white leather base with colored panels and logos. Sadly, the green 550s are Women’s and Children’s only. The blue is a full size run. To pick up a pair, hit up Foot Locker and Champs Sports stores on February 22nd or online. Check out the sneakers in action below.
