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.

“4X4,” on Cactus Jack/Epic Records, totaled 16.2 million official streams, 2.9 million radio airplay audience impressions and 167,000 sold (digital and physical singles combined) in the United States Jan. 24-30.
The track is the 1,178th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 66-year history and the 82nd single to debut in the top spot.
“4×4” concurrently launches at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100. It’s Scott’s seventh leader on each genre ranking.
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” slips 4-5 on the Hot 100, following a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July. The track also tops Radio Songs for a 27th week (63.3 million in audience, on par with last week’s total) – surpassing The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” for the most weeks at No. 1 in the airplay chart’s 34-year history.
Here’s an updated rundown of the longest-leading Radio Songs No. 1s:
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” led the Country Airplay chart for seven weeks beginning last August, the longest No. 1 run for an initial entry, and ranks in the top 10 for a record-extending 31st week. The song also became the first to hit the top five (or even top 10) on Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay (two weeks at No. 1 on each chart) and Rhythmic Airplay (No. 3 peak).
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” leads the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 33rd week.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024 – and became the year’s top song – rises 7-6. It loges a 76th week on the survey, tying for the sixth-longest stay in the chart’s history.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” descends 6-7 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 2. It leads the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 26th week each.
