Young Thug is the king of the Hot 100 this week, as he fills eight spots on the tally, with most of his current smashes coming from his latest chart-topping full-length. As the rapper rules, several other stars reach new heights with their latest cuts, and one of the biggest pop stars on the planet returns as her new single launches.
Here’s a look at five of the most important moves on this week’s Hot 100 singles chart.
No. 12 – Young Thug, Young Stoner Life And Gunna – “Solid (ft. Drake)”
As Young Thug and his Young Stoner Life collective debut their new album Slime Language 2 at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, seven songs from the project reach the Hot 100. All seven of them credit Gunna, who is also named on the album as well.
Joining Young Thug, Gunna and the entire YSL team in their sweep of the Hot 100 this week are fellow hip-hop stars like Drake, Travis Scott and many others, with a handful of musicians hitting the chart for the first time.
No. 20 – Giveon – “Heartbreak Anniversary”
Already a huge global hit, Giveon’s “Heartbreak Anniversary” continues its ascent in the U.S. this week, rising to a new high of No. 20. As his initial breakout smash on his own has been climbing the Hot 100, Giveon scored his first-ever No. 1 smash on the tally as a featured act on Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” which debuted atop the list a short time ago.
No. 38 – Dua Lipa – “We’re Good”
Released as the latest single from the expanded edition of Dua Lipa’s sophomore album Future Nostalgia (titled Future Nostalgia: The Moonlight Edition), “We’re Good” has been lifting slowly on the Hot 100 recently. This frame, it steps up to No. 38, entering the top 40 for the first time. The track is now the pop singer’s sixth top 40 smash in the U.S. and her fourth from her second full-length.
No. 39 – Glass Animals – “Heat Waves”
Alternative band Glass Animals have scored a career-defining smash with “Heat Waves,” which is still heating up on a number of Billboard charts. This frame, it improves to No. 39, breaking into the top 40. The tune is now the first from the group to enter that important arena on the list.
No. 81 – Ariana Grande – “POV”
The third official single from Grande’s latest album Positions, “POV” originally reached the Hot 100 when the full-length first appeared, but it’s been missing from the ranking ever since. Now, as it receives proper promotion via radio and other channels, the track returns to the list at No. 81, and it will likely rise in the coming frames.
