A fan favorite on the star-studded, April 12-released project (which features big names like J. Cole, Lil Baby, ASAP Rocky, Ty Dolla $ign, and others), the tune has peaked at #22 on the Hot 100 so far – marking the 68th and 50th top 40 hits for Future and The Weeknd respectively.

Future, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd may have made history two weeks ago with their hit tune ‘Young Metro,‘ but now the trio’s reunited to repeat the feat with ‘We Still Don’t Trust You‘ – the title track to the April 12-released album from Boomin and Future.

Already a shoo-in for the top spot on next week’s Billboard 200, the trio are working to ensure the victory by unveiling the cut’s official music video.

“And the Paris girls, they sing my song with love / In the stadium is where I feel at home / I forgot the feeling of arena shows / And she love the stage, it got her sexual,” Weeknd croons in the Hidji World and Omar Jones-directed clip.

In late 2023, Cher – thanks to her breakout hit ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song‘ – became the first female artist in history to debut a new song on the Hot 100 in six distinct decades.

This week, the two mega divas were joined in rank by a fellow Pop culture icon: Country Queen Dolly Parton.

While Future and Metro Boomin made history with their dual domination of the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 thanks to their joint album, ‘We Don’t Trust You,‘ and its Kendrick Lamar-assisted single, ‘Like That,‘ global superstar The Weeknd – the co-star of the duo’s ‘Young Metro‘ – was breaking records of his own.

As reported here, thanks to ‘Young’ the Canadian hitmaker became the first artist this century to chart a top 10 hit over 11 consecutive years when the tune entered the all-genre chart at #6.

In a bid to help it reach even higher Hot 100 heights, the trio have unveiled a behind-the-scenes look at the song’s official music video.

They don’t call her the Songbird Supreme for nothing.

When it comes to Hot 100 stats, Mariah Carey reigns supreme and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who can match or surpass her seemingly insurmountable feats.

Beyond being the only solo artist in the 65-year history to have captured 19 #1 hits, she’s also the only artist to have topped the tally in four distinct decades. Elsewhere, she’s known as the first female act to debut at #1 (1995’s ‘Fantasy‘), the first act overall to have their first 5 solo singles reach #1, and she holds the title for most cumulative weeks at #1 (93 and counting).

And while those accomplishments are just the tip of the iceberg, one of the shiniest jewels in her Billboard crown was being one of two artists to lay claim to charting at least one top 10 hit every year for over a decade.

This week, she learned a third act seems poised to join that fold: The Weeknd.

Much like their joint album ‘We Don’t Trust You’ is currently dominating the Billboard 200 with the biggest first-week sales of 2024, Future and Metro Boomin are watching its headline-grabbing single – the Kendrick Lamar-assisted ‘Like That‘ – mirror that success on the Hot 100.

Post Malone and Swae Lee‘s Hot 100 #1 hit ‘Sunflower’ (found aboard the soundtrack of 2018’s animated film ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’) swung into history books at the height of its popularity for becoming one of the longest-charting top 10 hits ever.

Enjoying a 33 week-run in the chart region (a record for a soundtrack single and second-longest for a duet), the only collaboration to have enjoyed a longer stay in the top 10 overall was The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber‘s 2021 smash ‘Stay‘ (which boasting a 44-week tenancy).

Nearly 6 years after its domination at Billboard, the enduring success of ‘Sunflower’ sees it planted in the record books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as well.

The Hot 100 has done all but sleep on ‘Snooze,’ the history-making sixth single from SZA‘s chart-busting sophomore album ‘SOS.’

As if marking a personal milestone for being her longest-charting song to date (racking up a whopping 56-week and counting) wasn’t enough, the Babyface-produced bop was penciled in record books when it went on to be the only song to be printed on the hitlist every week last year.

Having already tied or broken Billboard records by music monarchs Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Rihanna, and others, SZA woke up in 2024 to news ‘Snooze’ had helped her break a three-way tie with Pop royals Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson thanks to its rebound into the Hot 100’s top 10.
