Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s ‘Luther’ No. 1 on Hot 100 for Sixth Week

“Luther,” on pgLang/Interscope/ICLG, totaled 58.3 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 4% week-over-week), 26.3 million official streams (down 6%) and 3,000 sold (down 13%) in the U.S. March 21-27.

The track rebounds 3-1 for a fifth week atop the Streaming Songs chart; holds at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs; and falls 10-15, after reaching No. 4, on Digital Song Sales.

“Luther” concurrently adds a 14th week 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.

Morgan Wallen’s “Just in Case” bounds in at No. 4 on the Hot 100. Released March 21, the ballad totaled 21.3 million streams, 2.8 million in airplay audience (it’s his next single to be promoted to country radio) and 7,000 sold in its first week.

The song, Wallen’s 14th Hot 100 top 10, further ushers in his fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, due May 16; his tour of the same name is set to kick off June 20. It’s his fifth song from the set (all are confirmed as on its tracklist) to hit the top 10 – breaking the record for the most Hot 100 top 10s from an album prior to its release. Here’s a recap of the collection’s top 10s to date:

Previously, Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding (2019) and Taylor Swift’s Red (2012) each generated four top 10s before debuting, each at No. 1, on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

(Also on the latest Hot 100, a sixth pre-album release song from Wallen’s I’m the Problem, “I’m a Little Crazy,” debuts at No. 17.)

Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” rides 9-5 on the Hot 100, with 38.1 million in airplay audience (up 5%), 15.1 million streams and 6,000 sold.

The track becomes the singer-songwriter’s third top five Hot 100 hit, a week after “The Giver” debuted at No. 5 (and at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart). “Good Luck, Babe!” reached No. 4 on the Hot 100 last September. “Pink Pony Club” is the first top five entry from her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess; her other two such hits are currently stand-alone singles.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rebounds 3-2, following five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in January. It adds a seventh week atop Radio Songs (61.1 million, down 4%).

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rises 6-3 on the Hot 100, following its record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July. It rebounds 2-1 for a 39th week atop Hot Country Songs.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024 – and became the year’s No. 1 song – ascends 12-6. It notches an 84th week on the survey overall, the fourth-longest stay in the chart’s history, below only Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves” (91 weeks, in 2021-22); The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” (90 weeks, 2019-22); and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” (87 weeks, 2012-14).

Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Drake’s “Nokia” rises 11-7, dialing up a new high; Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” jumps 15-8, after it reached No. 2; Lamar’s “Not Like Us” dips 8-9, following three weeks at No. 1 between last May and February; and ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” steps 14-10, after hitting No. 3. (A week earlier, three songs debuted in the top five; they all drop out of the 10, helping spur the climbs for multiple titles in the top 10 on the latest chart.)
