The track adds a second week at the Hot 100’s summit, after it debuted at No. 1 nine weeks earlier. It became a pop-culture fixture and spent the next eight weeks after its arrival between Nos. 2 and 6, including the last two frames at No. 3. In that span, it was further boosted by Lamar’s Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the seething diss track five times – at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
(Only two non-holiday songs have logged more time, nine weeks each, between stays at No. 1 on the Hot 100: Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” in 2023 and Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” in 2013.)
Meanwhile, Lamar lands his first multi-week Hot 100 No. 1 on his own; he previously led with no billed collaborators for a week in 2017 with “Humble.” He has ruled the Hot 100 for an overall personal-best three weeks in April with “Like That,” with Future and Metro Boomin. He earned the first of his four No. 1s for a week in 2015 as featured on Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.”
Also in the latest Hot 100’s top 10, Morgan Wallen’s “Lies Lies Lies” launches at No. 7, becoming his 10th song to reach 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 July 20, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, July 16.

Below is a rundown of the latest Hot 100’s top 10.
‘Not Like Us’ Streams, Airplay & Sales
“Not Like Us,” on pgLang/Top Dawg/Aftermath/Interscope/ICLG, reigns with 53.8 million official streams (up 20%), 40 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 9%) and 8,000 sold (up 16%) in the United States July 5-11.
The song scores a fifth week over 50 million weekly streams, the most for a title this year. (Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” ranks second with three such weeks.) In all, songs have combined for 17 weeks of 50 million or more streams in 2024; last year, only one song reached that mark, twice: Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers.”
“Not Like Us” lifts 2-1 for a fifth week atop the Streaming Songs chart, the most for a track this year; 6-4 on Digital Song Sales, after reaching No. 3; and 10-9 for a new high on Radio Songs.
Morgan Wallen’s “Lies Lies Lies” enters the Hot 100 at No. 7 with 27 million streams, 4.5 million in airplay audience and 14,000 sold in its first week, following its July 5 wide release. The ballad was originally recorded at London’s Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios last December and first released March 3 as part of his seven-song Abbey Road Sessions digital series.
The song marks Wallen’s 10th Hot 100 top 10, and seventh to debut in the tier. Notably, he joins 10 other acts with at least 10 top 10s so far this decade.

Shaboozey Leads Rest of Top 10
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100, a week after it became his first No. 1, and claims the chart’s top Airplay Gainer award (69.5 million in audience, up 16%). It leads Digital Song Sales for a ninth week (21,000, down 8%) and the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fifth frame.
Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, slips 2-3 on the Hot 100 following six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in May. It tops Radio Songs for a third week (81 million, up 2%) and the multimetric Songs of the Summer chart for a seventh week.
Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” rises 5-4 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 2, as it leads the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for an 11th week.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” dips 4-5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3, and her “Please Please Please” keeps at No. 6, three weeks after it became her first No. 1.
3 x 2 = a first: With Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” at No. 6 and Wallen’s “Lies Lies Lies” at No. 7, this week marks the first in the Hot 100’s history in which two songs with titles of three same words in a row rank back-to-back, or even in the top 10 together. (Hope that lengthy stat is clear; we wouldn’t want to have to repeat it.)
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Benson Boone’s No. 2-peaking “Beautiful Things” drops 8-9 and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led for a week in March, backtracks 9-10.
