The Billboard Hot 100 chart has long been seen as a measure of success for musicians across all genres, with placement on the list solidifying years of hard work. For the first time in 35 years, Hip-Hop, one of the most successful genres of modern times, has fallen out of the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 list, and it could signal a shift in consumer tastes.
Billboard reports that, surprisingly, not one Hip-Hop song occupies the top 40 slots of the Billboard Hot 100, with the highest ranking song being YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s “Shot Callin” at the No. 44 slot. Following are Cardi B’s “Safe” featuring Kehlani from Cardi’s latest album, Am I The Drama?, and BigXthaPlug’s “Hell at Night” featuring Ella Langley, sitting at No. 48 and 49 in that order.
The outlet adds that the last time this happened was on February 2, 1990, with Biz Markie’s classic “Just A Friend” at No. 41 on the charts, ahead of becoming a top 10 hit for the late rapper and DJ. The following week, the song leaped to the No. 29 slot.
More from Billboard explaining how this happened:
Recent rule changes to Billboard’s Hot 100 methodology did play a part in the streak coming to an end. For the chart dated Oct. 25, descending songs were deemed recurrent and removed from the chart if they had exceeded certain durations on the chart while also falling below certain updated chart thresholds — for instance, if they had fallen below No. 25 after spending over 26 weeks on the chart. That particular change resulted in the departure of “Luther,” which had fallen to No. 38 on the previous week’s Hot 100 in its 46th week on the listing.
The headline itself does sound alarming on the surface, but it seems that a technicality is the reason for this, not a dip in quality. As we try to highlight at Hip-Hop Wired via our CRT FRSH playlist, the music and culture are thriving well, and it should be expected that another artist or more will make their way to the top of the charts again. Given the chart dominance of acts like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and the aforementioned BigXThaPlug, we should see Hip-Hop near or back at the top soon.

K-pop boy band P1Harmony took over LA last week. We got to talk with them about their favorite L.A. activities, the Most Wanted Tour & their solo stages and debuting in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with their EX EP for the first time thanks to their P1eces.
Featuring our recent LA All Access, we show exclusive moments and throw it back to our past interviews with them. We also ran down this week’s Contenders.
Jerah Milligan:
What’s up, folks? It’s the P1Harmony takeover, and I was lucky enough to be along for the ride. From Universal Studios to the Intuit Dome to Manhattan Beach, the P1Harmony boys were all over SoCal. It was crazy. We met with the P1Harmony boys backstage at their Universal pop-up show, where they were really excited that their EP EX debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 9. P1Harmony took over Los Angeles. We talked to the boys backstage at their CityWalk pop-up concert, then got to see the show at the Inuit Dome, and we take you there in Billboard All Access.
Jongseob:
L.A. feels like, kind of our second home. It’s, you know, we’ve been to a lot, and I feel like we’ve grown up so much. Like we started our first show in state. It’s in like, It’s nearby a soccer stadium, and there’s just a free show for just random peoples. But we’ve grown up so much, and we’re going to perform at Intuit Dome. That’s crazy.
Keeho:Actually, the you know, we’re doing a little thing at CityWalk at the end of COVID. Our first ever show was in LA for free, too. So it’s gonna kind of take us back. It’s gonna feel a little nostalgic. So we’re really, really excited to be here at CityWalk. West Hollywood. We love West Hollywood. Melrose, like Silver Lake. We love Silver Lake. A lot of good vintage and like cafes and stuff like that.
Intak:Oh yeah, I like Melrose too. Actually, yesterday, I’ve been the kind of dance studio. It called the Playground. Yeah, and I have so much time in so much great time in there. So it’s so very interesting.

Common sits down to talk about creating the new track for the NBA on Prime, “Victory.” He opens up about his work with the NBA, his favorite players, his favorite collaborations, working with Erykah Badu, his new project with Madlib, ‘Piece of the Struggle,’ and more!
Common: NBA is one of my favorite things in life because I just love basketball. I’m always paying attention to it. I look forward to it after working being able to come watch a basketball game the NBA like I was a Bulls fan growing up, but I think at a certain point, I just started gravitating towards the players like, players I like. So Steph Curry is one of my favorites. Kyrie is one of my favorites. I love- I like Anthony Edwards. I like Kevin Durant, LeBron.
But some of the new guys, I really like, too … I really like this young dude Jeremiah Fears, he’s coming up on the New Orleans Pelicans and Cooper Flagg got game too. I think V.J. [Edgecombe], he plays hard. I like his game too.
I like to dream high. So I would like to say Kyrie Irving, but then I was talking to Carmelo one time on his podcast, and he was like, bro, let’s think realistic. Who is your player comparison? I’m still gonna fly high and say D. Wade, Dwayne Wade, I mean, but I’m thinking about comparisons on and off the court when I say him.
Man, being a ball boy was like it was something I don’t even know if I really grabbed on to what that experience was, but I was there when Michael Jordan, when he first came to the Bulls, so I just got to see a star really becoming like a superstar to becoming one of the greatest players of all time. Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas and Charles Barkley. I used to get, like, sneakers from them, and they would sign them, but at the time, I was kind of like just I was selling them or giving them to giving them to my teachers.

Billboard’s assistant editor Latin, Jessica Roiz, moderated the conversation which explored Selena’s meteoric rise to fame, her dreams for the future, and the impact of family on her and her career. They kicked off the panel by showing the trailer for the film. It’s full of inspiring words from Selena herself, interviews with the Quintanilla family and bandmates, and a ton of home movies. They granted Castro unprecedented access to their personal media collection and sat down for in-depth interviews in the documentary to show viewers a side of the Queen of Tejano Music which only those closest to her would know.

Suzette explained what it was like welcoming Castro into their world. “I gave her a key to what we call ‘The Vault’.” The director went on to describe The Vault as “a medium sized room and there are floor to ceiling bookcases with hundreds if not thousands of VHS tapes, Betacams, CDs, flash drives.” The first step in making the documentary was digitizing all of the personal footage and stringing it out before even interviewing the family.

Suzette shared why this was the first documentary their family wanted to participate in and why Isabel was the perfect director for this monumental film. Four to five years ago, Suzette asked her lawyer to find someone that could help the Quintanilla family finally tell their own story. He found Castro’s 2022 award-winning documentary “Mija” and was inspired to set up a meeting between the two, over Zoom. Suzette said, “Instantly, I knew that she was going to be the person that was able to tell this story for us.” The two bonded over being big sisters and now call each other friends.

Fans will see Selena as a sister, daughter, and wife in “Selena y Los Dinos” through never-before-seen footage and first-hand accounts from her parents, sister, brother, husband and bandmates. In one clip shared with attendees, the family describes how they saw the joy that Cumbia music brought their community and how the entire family was essential in developing that sound. By seeing what happened behind the scenes, Castro was moved to show the importance of family in what Selena would become. She said, “I was a Selena fan, but I didn’t totally understand the extent of it until I made this project. As I was discovering that, it was really important to me that that was a main focus of the film. And that’s why it’s called ‘Selena y Los Dinos’” Suzette reaffirmed what Isabel felt while making the film saying “Yes, Selena was the star, and she will continue to be that, but there was another element that made Selena as well. And that was our family and our family band.”

Suzette, Isabel, and Jessica ended their conversation by discussing what they hope viewers take away from the film. For Suzette, she said “What I would love for them to take away is that we’re a normal family that started a band that became global.” For Isabel, she wants to celebrate bi-cultural identities, saying “I want people to see this and how much joy and pride there can be in not being from here or there but being from a mixture of two places. I just think that’s so beautiful.” And that diversity is seen and appreciated within Selena’s fandom. Suzette described the pride she feels for the more than two generations of fans her sister has. “Selena is not just a Latin artist. She is global. She is a global artist, and it doesn’t matter what nationality you are, you listen to her music and you’re a fan. And for that I am grateful.” There is no denying the impact Selena Quintanilla has had on the Latin music world and pop culture at large. We’ve seen the talent and charisma which made her a top tier artist and performer. Soon, you can see what made Selena a superstar at home in the eyes of her family when “Selena y Los Dinos” premieres on November 17, 2025, only on Netflix.
