Jack Harlow’s ‘Lovin on Me’ Returns to No. 1 on Hot 100, Doja Cat’s ‘Agora Hills’ Hits Top 10
Written by djfrosty on January 8, 2024
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” rebounds to No. 1, from No. 9, for a second week atop the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. It first reigned for a week in early December.
Plus, Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” leaps 35-10 on the Hot 100, becoming her ninth top 10.
Many songs surge on the Hot 100 as the 41 holiday songs on the chart the week before – the most seasonal songs ever on the survey in a single week – all depart.
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 Jan. 13, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Jan. 9). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” released on Generation Now/Atlantic, drew 29 million streams (up 13%, good for top Streaming Gainer honors on the Hot 100) and 52.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 1%) and sold 8,000 downloads (up 10%) in the Dec. 29-Jan. 4 tracking week, according to Luminate.
The single bounds 19-1 for a third week atop the Streaming Songs chart; rises 2-1 for a second frame atop Digital Song Sales; and holds at its No. 5 high on Radio Songs.
The track became Harlow’s third Hot 100 leader on the Dec. 2, 2023-datec chart, following “First Class” (No. 1 for three weeks in April-May 2022) and “Industry Baby,” with Lil Nas X (No. 1, one week, October 2021). Notably, he is the first artist to have placed atop the chart each year since 2021. (Drake and Taylor Swift each led with new No. 1s in 2020-23; plus, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has jingled to No. 1 on charts dated each year in 2019-23.)
“Lovin on Me” concurrently tops the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for an eighth week each.
“Lovin on Me” is currently a standalone single from Harlow, whose most recent album, Jackman., debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 in May, becoming his third top 10 set. (The song’s hook samples singer Delbert “Dale” Greer’s 1995 cut “Whatever.”)
Swift’s “Cruel Summer” soars 19-2 on the Hot 100 following four nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in October. It rules Radio Songs for an 11th week (72.6 million, up 13%). The song also leads the Adult Pop Airplay chart for an 18th week – surpassing the 17-week reign of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” last year for the longest for a song by a woman in the chart’s history.
Tate McRae’s first Hot 100 top 10, “Greedy,” flies 24-3, besting its prior No. 7 peak to become her first top five hit on the chart.
Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” roars 29-4 on the Hot 100, after it led for three nonconsecutive weeks beginning in September, and Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, jumps 31-6, after it dominated for a week upon its debut in September, as it ups its commands on the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Country Songs charts to 19, 18 and 15 weeks, respectively.
SZA’s “Snooze” ranks at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it leads the multi-metric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 23rd week.
Tyla’s initial Hot 100 top 10, “Water,” swells 32-7 for a new high, after it previously reached No. 10. It concurrently crowns the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for a 13th week.
Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” blasts 36-8 on the Hot 100, following 16 weeks at No. 1 beginning last March – the longest reign ever for a non-collaboration – and Luke Combs’ No. 2-peaking “Fast Car” revs 47-9 (up 24% to 46.3 million in radio reach as it wins the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award).
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” hikes 35-10. The song drew 39 million in radio audience and 11.7 million streams (up 10%) and sold 1,000 in the tracking week.
Doja Cat notches her ninth Hot 100 top 10, following “Paint the Town Red”; “Vegas” (No. 10 peak, October 2022); Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” on which she’s featured (No. 3, October 2022); “Woman” (No. 7, May 2022); “Need To Know” (No. 8, November 2021); “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA (No. 3, July 2021); Ariana Grande’s “34+35,” on which she and Megan Thee Stallion are featured (No. 2, January 2021); and “Say So,” featuring Nicki Minaj (No. 1, one week, May 2020).
