Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. Future and Lamar each land their third Hot 100 leader, while Metro Boomin earns his first as a billed recording artist, following two as a writer and producer.
The track is one of five from Future and Metro Boomin’s album We Don’t Trust You that debut in the Hot 100’s top 10, while the set bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Plus, Hozier’s “Too Sweet” starts at No. 5 on the Hot 100, marking his second top 10 hit and first to arrive on the chart in the region.
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 April 6, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 2.

“Like That,” on Boominati/Wilburn Holding Co./Republic/Epic Records, becomes the 1,168th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s history.
Here’s a look at its chart-topping entrance, as well as the rest of the latest Hot 100’s top 10.
The most weekly streams in over a year
“Like That” drew 59.6 million streams and 5.6 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 9,000 in its first week, ending March 28, according to Luminate.
The single premieres at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, where it’s Lamar’s fourth leader, Future’s third and Metro Boomin’s first, and at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales.
Meanwhile, the song’s 59.6 million streams mark the most for a track in over a year, since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” tallied 59.7 million in its second week (Feb. 4, 2023). “Like That” claims the most debut-week streams since Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” bowed with 59.7 million (Nov. 5, 2022).
Future, Kendrick Lamar & Metro Boomin back at No. 1
Future adds his third Hot 100 No. 1 – and third No. 1 debut – following “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems (May 14, 2022), and Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy,” featuring Future and Young Thug (Sept. 18, 2021); each led for one week.
Despite Future and Drake’s prior teaming, Lamar “throws several volleys, suggestively targeting Drake and J. Cole” on “Like That,” which has helped fuel the song’s buzz.
Likewise with a third Hot 100 No. 1, Lamar previously led with “Humble.” (May 6, 2017) and as featured on Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” (June 6, 2015).
Metro Boomin tops the Hot 100 for the first time as a billed recording artist – and for a third time as a writer and producer, as he solely produced “Like That” and is one of its seven writers. He reigned as a co-writer and co-producer of both The Weeknd’s “Heartless,” for a week in 2019, and Migos’ “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert (three weeks, 2017).
Future and Lamar, who also co-wrote “Like That,” have co-penned all their Hot 100 No. 1s.
Five songs from ‘We Don’t Trust You’ in top 10
“Like That” is one of five tracks from Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You that debut in the Hot 100’s top 10, as the LP opens as Future’s ninth No. 1 and Metro Boomin’s fourth on the Billboard 200.
Here’s a rundown of the five songs, and their debut-week streams:
No. 1, “Like That,” Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar, 59.6 million
No. 2, “Type Shit,” Future, Metro Boomin, Travis Scott & Playboi Carti, 34.9 million
No. 6, “Cinderella,” Future, Metro Boomin & Travis Scott, 25.9 million
No. 8, “We Don’t Trust You,” Future & Metro Boomin, 24.7 million
No. 9, “Young Metro,” Future, Metro Boomin & The Weeknd, 24 million
Future ups his count to 15 Hot 100 top 10s and Metro Boomin doubles his total to 10 (as a billed recording artist). The Weeknd now boasts 18 top 10s; Travis Scott, 17; Lamar, 13; and Playboi Carti, four.
Meanwhile, here’s a recap of every week that acts have infused half the Hot 100’s top 10 or more. Future and Metro Boomin mark the second tandem to earn the feat simultaneously, joining Drake and 21 Savage, via their 2022 album Her Loss. The Beatles initiated the honor 60 years ago this week.

3 at 1, for a 4th time
“Like That” is the fourth Hot 100 No. 1 billed to three lead solo males.
Here’s a look at all four triumphant trios:
“Like That,” Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar, one week at No. 1 (to date), April 6, 2024
“Crack a Bottle,” Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent, one, Feb. 21, 2009
“Shake Ya Tailfeather,” Nelly, P. Diddy & Murphy Lee, four weeks, beginning Sept. 6, 2003
“Like That” concurrently launches at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.
On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Future and Lamar have now notched three No. 1s each and Metro Boomin, two. On Hot Rap Songs, their totals now stand at four, three and one, respectively.
Hozier’s ‘Sweet’ success
Hozier’s “Too Sweet” starts at No. 5 on the Hot 100, with 28.8 million streams, 268,000 in airplay audience and 4,000 sold. The song was first widely heard via a teaser snippet during Hozier’s March 6 appearance on the How Long Gone podcast, ahead of its proper release March 22 on his four-track EP Unheard, which debuts at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.
Hozier adds his second Hot 100 top 10, nearly a decade after his breakthrough hit “Take Me to Church” rose to No. 2 in December 2014. He has now charted three Hot 100 hits in the past year, after not appearing on the survey since “Church” wrapped its run; prior to “Sweet,” Noah Kahan’s “Northern Attitude,” remixed with Hozier, debuted and peaked at No. 37 in November 2023, after “Eat Your Young” entered and peaked at No. 67 last April.
Hozier ends the longest wait between Hot 100 top 10s since The Beatles returned to the tier after 27 years, 10 months and two weeks with “Now and Then” last November.
Boone leads rest of top 10
Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” dips to No. 3, from its No. 2 high. Still, it wins the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award (41 million, up 19%). It also leads Digital Song Sales for a second week (3-1; 10,000, down 11%).
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” falls to No. 4 on the Hot 100 a week after reaching No. 1.
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” retreats 4-7 on the Hot 100, following six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning last December, as it posts an 11th week atop the Radio Songs chart (69.9 million, down 5%).
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” descends 3-10, two weeks after it roared in as her ninth No. 1.
