Travis Scott’s ‘4X4’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
Plus, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” breaks the record for the longest rule ever on Radio Songs.
Travis Scott’s “4X4” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
The track, released Jan. 24, marks the superstar rapper’s fifth Hot 100 leader, following “Franchise,” featuring Young Thug and M.I.A. (one week at No. 1 in October 2020); “The Scotts,” billed to The Scotts, Travis Scott and Kid Cudi (one, May 2020); “Highest in the Room” (one, October 2019); and “Sicko Mode” (one, December 2018). All have debuted at No. 1 except for “Sicko Mode,” which started at No. 4.
Scott appeared at the College Football Playoff National Championship halftime show on Jan. 20, when he debuted “4×4” atop Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. All proceeds from the song’s CD single, among other of his offerings, benefit Direct Relief’s California Wildfire Response Fund.
Also notably, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” at No. 5 on the Hot 100 after a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1, rewrites the longest reign ever on the Radio Songs chart – 27 weeks – breaking out of a tie with The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Feb. 8, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 4. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
