‘Squabble Up’ Debuts Atop Hot 100, as Kendrick Lamar Lands Entire Top Five

“Squabble Up,” on pgLang/Interscope/ICLG, bounds in atop the Hot 100 with 52 million official streams, 5.7 million radio airplay audience impressions and 5,000 sold in the United States in the week ending Nov. 28, following its surprise Nov. 22 release on Lamar’s album GNX.

The song soars in as Lamar’s fifth Hot 100 No. 1. Here’s a recap of his leaders:

Lamar is the first artist with three Hot 100 No. 1s in 2024, surpassing Ariana Grande, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, each with two.

Meanwhile, with “Squabble Up,” “Not Like Us” and “Like That” all having opened atop the Hot 100, Lamar is the first solo male ever with three No. 1 debuts in a single year. Among all acts, only BTS (2021) and Grande (2020) previously achieved the feat.

“Squabble Up” additionally starts as Lamar’s sixth No. 1 on the all-genre Streaming Songs chart and his fifth No. 1 on both the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs surveys.

Lamar completes the Hot 100’s top five with four more debuts from GNX: “TV Off,” featuring Lefty Gunplay (No. 2; 46.9 million streams), “Luther,” with SZA (No. 3; 44.4 million), “Wacced Out Murals” (No. 4; 38 million) and “Hey Now,” featuring Dody6 (No. 5; 31.2 million).

Lamar is the fourth artist ever to boast the entire Hot 100’s top five in a single week. Taylor Swift is the only act to rank at Nos. 1-10 on the Hot 100 in single frames, as she accomplished the feat on charts dated this May 4 – when she blanketed the top 14 spots – and Nov. 5, 2022. Plus, Drake placed at Nos. 1-5 and 7-10 on the Sept. 18, 2021, tally. The Beatles first charted such a fab five on the April 4, 1964, chart with, from Nos. 1 to 5, “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Twist and Shout,” “She Loves You,” “I Want To Hold Your Hand” and “Please Please Me.”

Lamar also debuts in the Hot 100’s top 10 with “Reincarnated” (No. 8; 27.9 million streams) and “Man at the Garden” (No. 9; 27.4 million). With seven new top 10s, he ups his career count to 22 such hits, joining 20 other acts with at least that many. (Drake leads with 79 top 10s, followed by Swift with 59.)

Lefty Gunplay and Dody6 each earn their first Hot 100 top 10s, in their first visits to the chart, while SZA scores her 11th top 10. Notably, “Luther” samples Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “If This World Were Mine.” The original hit No. 27 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (then named Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles) in 1968; Vandross and Lynn’s remake reached No. 4 on the chart (then Hot Black Singles) in 1982.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” slides to No. 6 on the Hot 100 a week after it notched a record-tying 19th week at No. 1, matching the 2019 command of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally leads the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 24th week, tying for the fifth-longest domination since the list became the genre’s singular survey in 1958.

The track also holds for an 18th week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, matching Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (2023) and Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” (1998) for the second-longest rule since the tally began in 1990. Only The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” has led the airplay chart longer: 26 weeks in 2020.

Plus, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rebounds to the top of Digital Song Sales (9,000 sold, up 14%) for a 15th week at No. 1, the fifth-longest stay at the summit in the ranking’s 20-year archives.

Also falling five spots on the Hot 100, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” descends to No. 7 following four weeks at its No. 2 high.

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – the No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs retrospective – jingles 16-10, with 26.8 million streams (up 52%), 15.7 million airplay audience impressions (up 68%) and 2,000 sold (up 25%).

The carol, originally released in 1994, hit the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time in December 2017. In December 2019, it ascended to No. 1 at last, for three weeks that holiday season. It led the Hot 100 for two more weeks in the 2020 holiday season, three over the 2021 holidays, four during the 2022 season and another two in 2023, upping its total to 14 weeks at No. 1.

With its 2019 coronation, Carey collected her 19th Hot 100 No. 1, extending her mark for the most among soloists and moving to within one of The Beatles’ overall record 20.

The song concurrently crowns the multi-metric Holiday 100 chart, which returns for the Yuletide season this week, for a 61st week, of the list’s 69 total frames since the chart began in 2011.
