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).

Ben Affleck Launches His Music Career In A Super Bowl Ad For Dunkin – To The Dismay Of J-Lo, Fat Joe, And Jack Harlow

Dunkin

Ben Affleck is trying his hand at being a pop star. The Air actor has let the “bored man in the world” headline get to him. To get his feet wet in the industry, Affleck didn’t have to travel far, given that his wife is pop music star Jennifer Lopez.

But as his “voice of reason,” Jack Harlow attempts to stop him from crashing Lopez’s studio session. However, as the Dunkin Super Bowl LVIII commercial shows, Affleck is too far gone. As Affleck interrupts what appears to be Lopez’s time in the office, working on This Is Me…Now, he’s met with hilarious stares of disapproval from Fat Joe, Matt Damon, and more. But Tom Brady approves.

Ultimately, the bulldozing didn’t work out in his favor, but Affleck isn’t going to give up without a fight.

So far, Lopez has shared two records from the forthcoming project, including the title track and “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Latto. Although Affleck hasn’t made an appearance on either, there are still eleven tracks to come from the body of work. Who knows, maybe Affleck made the final cut.

Watch Dunkin’s full commercial below.

This Is Me…Now is out 2/16 via Nuyorican Productions. Find more information here.

Jack Harlow Serves As Ben Affleck’s ‘Voice Of Reason’ In Their Dunkin’ Super Bowl Commercial Teaser

by

Super Bowl LVIII is this Sunday (February 11). You will have to tune into the big game to catch Usher’s highly-anticipated halftime performance. But as far as advertisers are concerned, they have no problem spoiling their forthcoming commercials. So far, the public has been treated to Ice Spice’s upcoming cameo. Yesterday (February 8), Dunkin previewed their ad slot starring “Lovin’ On Me” rapper Jack Harlow and Ben Affleck.

In the teaser, Affleck, a longtime Dunkin’ lover, battles with his late-night craves. As Affleck and Harlow sit in their car in what appears to be a Dunkin’ parking lot, the two verbally spar about right and wrong. The actor needs to be pulled in from the temptations. Unfortunately, Harlow isn’t there to be the “voice of reason,” at least not in what Affleck needs. Instead, Harlow pushes Affleck closer to his Dunkin’ fix. You will have to tune into the Super Bowl to see how the dilemma ends for Affleck.

This isn’t Affleck’s first time appearing in a Dunkin’ campaign. The Air actor also made a cameo in Ice Spice’s commercial for her limited signature drink, his wife, and singer Jennifer Lopez’s drive-thru segment with the company.

Watch the teaser clip above.

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.

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.

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated January 20, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Morgan Wallen — “Last Night”

It’s been quite the past year for Wallen’s “Last Night,” just about exactly at this point: The song was released on January 31, 2023 and it’s still in the Hot 100 top 10.

9. Doja Cat — “Agora Hills”

Doja is the only artist with multiple top-10 songs this week, and that’s thanks in part to “Agora Hills” setting a new personal-best placement at No. 9.

8. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Here’s perhaps the most notable entry on this week’s Hot 100, as “Lose Control” is the first top-10 single for Teddy Swims. It’s his first song to crack the Hot 100 at all, actually. It’s been a steady rise to the region, as the track was originally released in June 2023.

7. Tyla — “Water”

Tyla had a breakout year in 2023 thanks to her hit single and that is clearly continuing into 2024, as “Water” matches its all-time high at No. 7 this week.

6. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” never quite hit No. 1, topping out in the silver-medal spot, but the song has maintained a high chart position following its April 2023 release.

5. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

Doja said what she said, and she’s been saying it for a while now, as “Paint The Town Red” was released back in August 2023 and it’s still in the top 5 on the Hot 100.

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

Bryan and Musgraves’ collab continues to dominate various Billboard charts, as it’s currently No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for a 20th week and on the Hot Country Songs for a 16th total week.

3. Tate McRae — “Greedy”

“Greedy” previously reached its current chart peak at No. 3, and that’s where McRae’s hit finds itself this week, too.

2. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Swift’s “Cruel Summer” previously enjoyed four weeks at No. 1, and while it’s not on top anymore, the 2019 song is still enjoying significant Hot 100 success.

1. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

This is the third total week at No. 1 for “Lovin On Me,” Harlow’s 2023 hit. This is tied for his longest stay on top of the Hot 100, as “First Class” was previously No. 1 for three weeks in 2022. His Lil Nas X collab “Industry Baby” also reigned for a week in 2021.

Jack Harlow’s “Drive Safe” Single Is An Instagram Exclusive (For Now)

by

Jack Harlow was once a child aspiring to be a world-famous rapper. Now that his dreams are coming true, the Kentucky native shows no signs of stopping. After delivering a sophomore album with more sleepers than hip-hop heads were expecting, he made sure to turn the heat back up in 2023 with his featureless JACKMAN album in the summer. Harlow’s confidence was obvious on that, especially when declaring himself the best white rapper since Eminem was in his prime.

Before the year wraps up, the White Men Can’t Jump actor had more to share with fans. His new “Drive Safe” single is only available on Instagram (for now). As HipHopDX reports, he worked with 2forwOyNE on the track, which tells the story of an unfortunately toxic situationship. “And then it’s a forehead kiss on the doorstep / The way she tryna stay is like she studied at Morehead,” Harlow spits for the camera.

“But nah, she went to Western / The body of Corvette, bellbottom jeans and a lil’ bitty corset / Neelam ain’t a fan of her / She tried to give me caution signs like the floor’s wet / But the problem is somеthing else is too / Steady pu**y ain’t еver felt this new,” the “Blade of Grass” hitmaker continues, before making it clear he refuses to be devote himself to one woman, no matter how good she makes him feel.

I love hangin’ with you, but I’m not hung up on you
I got another hour in me after I f**k on you

Jack Harlow is bringing it back home — and this time, he’s taking us with him for the full experience. Back in November, Harlow returned to his home state of Kentucky to kick off his third annual No Place Like Home Tour, during which he performs in various venues across the state. During the final show in Lexington, footage was captured as Harlow performed at Rupp Arena, to later be used in a special concert film and documentary.

On January 4, 2024, fans will be able to tune into Jack Harlow No Place Like Home: A VR Concert through the Metaverse. On that day, fans can watch the concert film, and get an intimate look at the making of the tour, beginning at 5 p.m. PT. Using the Meta Quest VR headset, fans will be able to get a full, first-person experience of the concert.

“At some point last year I realized how much of my home state I’ve never seen. I suddenly got this urge to take a tour bus across Kentucky with all my childhood friends. So that’s what we did,” Harlow said in a statement. “Six shows in different towns across the state, with the final stop being in Lexington. We decided my first show at the historic Rupp Arena was the perfect moment to capture in VR. Enjoy.”

Those who aren’t able to tune into the live premiere will be able to replay the concert until January 25.

In the last month or so, Jack Harlow has dropped two new singles: “Lovin’ On Me,” which reset expectations after the introspective Jackman, and “Stop Giving Me Advice” with British rapper Dave, shrugging off commenters whose input overlooks the hard work he’s put in to get to this level.

Jack’s also been on his No Place Like Home tour, hitting arenas across his home state, Kentucky.

On Thursday, January 4 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, No Place Like Home: A VR Concert will premiere on Meta Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley. Using a Meta Quest headset, fans can watch the show and a behind-the-scenes documentary.

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated December 16, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

The Hot 100 is certainly painted red (and green) this week, thanks to the holiday songs coming up next on this list. Doja’s hit is among the few non-holiday tunes hanging around this week’s top 10, though.

9. SZA — “Snooze”

One of the others is SZA’s “Snooze.” This week actually marks a full year on the Hot 100 for SZA’s SOS single.

8. Andy Williams — “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year”

Williams’ Christmas classic has helped him make some history: As Billboard notes, “The late singer now sports a record span of 64 years, two months, and one week from his first week in the top 10 with ‘Lonely Street’ in October 1959 through his latest frame.”

7. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

Even through the holiday rush, Swift is unstoppable, as she remains in the top 10 with a song that was originally released in 2019 but has become a gigantic hit here in 2023.

6. Burl Ives — “A Holly Jolly Christmas”

Ives is one of the holiday regulars, as “A Holly Jolly Christmas” routinely returns to the charts. Its previous peak was at No. 4, so let’s see if it’s able to top that this year.

5. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”

In terms of non-holiday songs, Harlow is No. 1 this week with “Lovin On Me,” which previously became the rapper’s third No. 1 single (Christmas classic or otherwise).

4. Wham! — “Last Christmas”

“Last Christmas” has so far peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and the enduring 1984 favorite finds itself back at that personal-best summit this week.

3. Bobby Helms — “Jingle Bell Rock”

The same is true for Helms in terms of re-achieving its previous peak. It’s also the oldest song of the holiday bunch, as it was originally released in 1957.

2. Mariah Carey — “All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Carey has gotten used to having the No. 1 Christmas song of the past few years, but so far during this holiday season, she hasn’t been able to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100.

1. Brenda Lee — “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”

“Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” went No. 1 for the first time ever last week, and the 1958 hit holds onto that spot this week, too, for a second total week at No. 1. There seem to be no hard feelings between Carey and Lee, by the way: After Lee topped the chart last week, Carey sent her some flowers with a congratulatory note.
