Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s ‘Luther’ Rules Hot 100 for Eighth Week; BigXthaPlug & Bailey Zimmerman, Alex Warren Hit Top 10

“Luther,” on pgLang/Interscope/ICLG, totaled 63.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 3% week-over-week), 22.7 million official streams (down 7%) and 2,000 sold (down 8%) in the U.S. April 4-10. The song is expected to sport gains on next week’s charts following the Friday (April 11) premiere of its official video.

“Luther” leads the Radio Songs chart for a second week and dips to No. 3 after six weeks atop Streaming Songs and 21-23, after reaching No. 4, on Digital Song Sales.

“Luther” concurrently adds a 16th week at No. 1 on both the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Drake’s “Nokia” rises 3-2 for a new Hot 100 high. It drew 23.4 million streams, up 9%, April 4-10, after its official video premiered March 31. It’s also up 28% to 19.7 million in airplay audience and 20% to 8,000 sold.

The track becomes Drake’s record-extending 24th top two Hot 100 hit, lifting him over The Beatles and Mariah Carey for the most in the chart’s 66-year history. Here’s a look at the acts with the most such entries (including a breakdown of their No. 1- and No. 2-peaking hits).

Most Top Two Hot 100 Hits:

(Two close: Thanks to “Luther” and “Nokia,” rival rappers Lamar and Drake rank in the Hot 100’s top two spots simultaneously for the first time.)

BigXthaPlug’s “All the Way,” featuring Bailey Zimmerman, launches at No. 4 on the Hot 100 with 24.1 million streams, 30,000 in airplay audience and 8,000 sold in its first week, following its April 4 release. It begins atop Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales, marking each act’s first No. 1 on each ranking.

The genre-blending hit is the first Hot 100 top 10 for Dallas native BigXthaPlug, who previously reached a No. 63 best with his first chart entry, “Mmhmm,” in April 2024. Zimmerman scores his second top 10, after “Rock and a Hard Place” (No. 10, April 23). “All the Way” marks the first Hot 100 top 10 for the UnitedMasters label.

The track concurrently soars in at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, where BigXthaPlug leads in his first visit and Zimmerman achieves his first leader among five top 10s. The collaboration also opens at No. 3 on Hot Rap Songs.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” surges 14-7 on the Hot 100 to become the singer-songwriter’s first top 10. It totaled 20.4 million streams (up 9%), 8.3 million in radio reach (up 71%) and 6,000 sold (up 19%) in the tracking week.

Notably, Warren and BigXthaPlug, via “All the Way,” are the first artists to earn initial Hot 100 top 10s in 2025. Last year, 13 acts each reached the top 10 for the first time: 4Batz, Gracie Abrams, Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Dody6, Noah Kahan, Rich the Kid, Sexyy Red, Tommy Richman, ROSÉ, Teddy Swims and Tyler, the Creator.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” slips 2-3, following five nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in January.

Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” is stable at its No. 5 Hot 100 best and Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” drops 4-6 on the Hot 100, following its record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July.

Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024 – and became the year’s No. 1 song – retreats 6-8. It adds an 86th week on the list overall, the fourth-longest residence 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).

Morgan Wallen “I’m the Problem” keeps at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after it started at its No. 2 high in February, and, rounding out the top 10, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” rises 11-10, after it reached a No. 2 peak in March 2024.
