“Like That” Survives Fury Of “COWBOY CARTER” Entries To Remain Atop Billboard Hot 100

by

March was clearly a massive month for hip-hop and rap adjacent artists. We received major releases from the likes of ScHoolboy Q, SiR, and Tierra Whack. However, the handful of names that dominated the month were Metro Boomin and Future, along with Beyonce. WE DON’T TRUST YOU and COWBOY CARTER raked in gargantuan first week sales numbers and hit songs. The big-ticket tracks from both have been “Like That” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” respectively. However, only one remains the king of the Billboard Hot 100 throne. For the second consecutive week, “Like That” will hold the top spot in the next update.

According to Billboard, the upcoming top 10 includes three entries from COWBOY CARTER with “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” vaulting back up to number two. The next highest is “II MOST WANTED” with Miley Cyrus at number six and the modern twist on “JOLENE” slotting in at seventh. On top of all this Beyonce’s album is easily reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 200 heap. It sold a whopping 407,000 units, which is now the highest mark of the year but quite a substantial margin.

“Like That” Is Still Like That Two Weeks Later

However, Metro Boomin and Future are also scoring another record in the upper echelon. “Type S***,” featuring Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, will crack the 10th spot. Other R&B and hip-hop acts include Jack Harlow still doing well for himself with “Lovin On Me” at eight. Finally, Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)” is right behind it in ninth.

What are your thoughts on “Like That” staying at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 over any of Beyonce’s tracks off COWBOY CARTER?

Mariah Carey Reaches No. 1 On Billboard Hot 100 Chart – Again

by

Christmas is now less than two weeks away. One of the most telling tales that this time of year is officially here is when you start to hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” all over the radio.

Last year, the smash hit appeared at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart dated December 25. This marked the third straight holiday season it has accomplished this feat.

The festive track is back in its familiar territory this week. Dethroning Taylor Swift’s recent hit, “Anti-Hero” in the process, the top four songs now all reflect the time of year. Wham!’s “Last Christmas” also appears at No. 9, making half of the top 10 holiday songs.

Subsequently, the staple Christmas tune extends Carey’s record as the artist with the most weeks spent atop the chart. Presently, she’s celebrating her 88th.

The next closest artist, Rihanna follows behind in second place with 60 weeks spent at the top.

The Queen of Christmas has also entered the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart yet again. Her aptly-titled 1994 album, Merry Christmas, currently sits at the 10th spot. It’s only a matter of time before it jumps up the list.

Just last month, the “Fantasy” singer revealed that she does in fact own the masters to her old music. The recordings to 86 singles and 15 studio albums dating back to 1990 are officially hers.

In other news surrounding the 52-year-old icon, there is reportedly an adaptation of her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey in the works.

Directed by her longtime friend Lee Daniels, it’s set to come in the form of a mini-series. The most wonderful time of the year continues to be dominated by Miss Mariah.
