The track concurrently opens atop the all-genre Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales lists, and at No. 3 on Hot Rap Songs.

As previously reported, “All the Way” soars in at No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, marking BigXthaPlug’s first top 10 and Zimmerman’s second.

BigXthaPlug has notched 16 titles on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, beginning in late 2023. He has sent three tracks to the chart’s top 20: “Mmhmm,” his first entry (No. 11 peak); “The Largest” (No. 16); and “2AM” (No. 18). On Hot Rap Songs, the No. 3 start for “All the Way” marks a new career best, joining two other top 10s of his: “Mmhmm” (No. 8) and “The Largest” (No. 10).

The new track, which is being promoted to pop radio, previews BigXthaPlug’s forthcoming country-focused collection.

“It gives me a better feeling how they’ll feel about the [country] project,” BigXthaPlug tells Billboard about the first-week reception for “All the Way.” “I knew that song was gonna do something.”
