With the Christmas onslaught in the rear view, the updated Hot 100 looks a lot more current with appearances from the usual heavy hitters like Taylor Swift, Drake, SZA, and others.
The week’s top Billboard story, however, just may be the ascension of Doja Cat‘s ‘Agora Hills‘ – the second official single from her 2023-released fourth studio album ‘Scarlet‘ – to the all-genre chart’s top 10.
More on that historic rise inside.
Peruse of the refreshed Hot 100 sees ‘Hills’ climb from #35 to #10. Here are the numbers that bolstered the boost.
- Streaming: 11.7 million U.S.-based streams
- Radio airplay: 39 million audience impressions
- Sales: 1,000 digital downloads
The 9th time she’s visited the chart region in her short but storied career, the Earl on the Beat-produced cut joins her previous chart-topper – ‘Paint the Town Red‘ – in this week’s top 10. ‘Red’ is #4.
With the placements Cat becomes the first female rapper in the Hot 100’s 65-year history to own two simultaneous solo top 10 hits.
When all songs are considered (solo or features), Doja joins Iggy Azalea and Cardi B as the only female rappers with concurrent top 10s.
Look below to see who joins the ‘Hills’ hitmaker on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100.

Your thoughts?
And where’s Cardi
It’s getting cold up on here the shelf 😕
Why you worried about Cardi when Icki is the one with a whole album out and now top 10s in sight. Worry about that.
*NO TOP TENS
ATTENTION flopped
DEMONS flopped
BALUT flopped
Now they were only “promotional singles” and PTTR and AH were the only two “official” singles 💀
The revisionist history of it ALL
So every single is supposed to be a hit?🤡
No but it’s very CLEAR payola got involved 😂 how suddenly this 6k pure sales album is a hit??! No way in hell
It’s been three years since Normani has seen any chart….
They’ll do anything they can to “try” to compete with Nicki. Fake numbers are an embarrassment 😂 all the fake streams and sales DOES NOT make you the queen of anything Doja. We all know it’ll ALWAYS and forever be NICKI 🎀
