Future and Metro Boomin Shakes Up the Hot 100

Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar's latest collaboration, "Like That," has made an explosive debut at the summit of the Hot 100 charts, sparking fervent discussions and raising eyebrows with its incendiary lyrics. The track's ascent to the top comes after a prolonged period of anticipation, as fans eagerly awaited the release of the collaborative album, WE DON'T TRUST YOU, which finally hit the airwaves earlier this month. The album, touted as one of the most significant moments in rap music for the year 2024, boasts an impressive lineup of features, including heavyweights such as Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and The Weeknd. However, it was Kendrick Lamar's standout verse on "Like That" that garnered the most attention, as he seized the opportunity to deliver pointed jabs at fellow artists Drake and J. Cole.

The buzz surrounding "Like That" has translated into staggering streaming numbers, with the track amassing nearly 70 million streams on Spotify alone since its release. With such impressive figures, it's hardly surprising that "Like That" soared straight to the top of the Hot 100 charts in its debut week. This achievement marks the third number-one hit for both Kendrick Lamar and Future, while also serving as a milestone for Metro Boomin, who secures his first-ever chart-topper as a lead artist.

But the success of "Like That" is just the tip of the iceberg for WE DON'T TRUST YOU. The album has made its presence felt across the charts, with other standout tracks making significant waves. "Type Sh*t," featuring Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, quickly follows "Like That," claiming the #2 spot on the charts. Travis Scott makes another notable appearance on the album with "Cinderella," which secures a respectable position at #6. Meanwhile, the title track "We Don't Trust You" and "Young Metro," featuring The Weeknd, round out the top 10, landing at #8 and #9, respectively.

The phenomenal performance of WE DON'T TRUST YOU on the Hot 100 charts comes as no surprise to avid followers of the rap scene. Over the weekend, it was revealed that the album had also debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. However, its success doesn't end there. In addition to claiming the top spot, WE DON'T TRUST YOU achieved the highest single week of equivalent album sales for the year 2024, underscoring its status as a dominant force in contemporary rap music.

As fans continue to dissect the lyrics and the beats of "Like That" and the rest of the tracks on WE DON'T TRUST YOU, it's clear that Future and Metro Boomin have delivered an album that not only lives up to expectations but also surpasses them. With its chart-topping success and cultural impact, WE DON'T TRUST YOU solidifies its place as a defining moment in the landscape of rap music in 2024.
