Playboi Carti Is First Rapper With More Than 30 Hot 100 Hits In a Single Week

Playboi Carti continues his triumphant week on Billboard’s charts as he becomes the first rapper — and only third artist overall — to score at least 30 simultaneous hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single week. The avalanche comes almost entirely from the 27-year-old Atlanta native’s new album, MUSIC, which concurrently storms in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

On the chart dated March 29, Playboi Carti claims 31 total hits on the Hot 100 — all 30 of his MUSIC tracks from the project’s streaming edition, and a feature credit on The Weeknd’s “Timeless,” from the pop/R&B superstar’s Hurry Up Tomorrow album. Thanks to the haul, Playboi Carti joins Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen as the only artists to capture more than 30 spots on the list simultaneously. Wallen owns the record, with 36 placements on the chart dated March 18, 2023, due to his One Thing at a Time drop, while Swift has crossed the 30-song mark twice: 32 on the list dated May 4, 2024, after her The Tortured Poets Department release, and 31 entries the following week.

With 31 simultaneous hits, Playboi Carti rewrites the record for most Hot 100 entries by a rapper in a single week. Drake previously held the mark, with 27 appearances on the July 14, 2018, chart in the wake of the arrival of his blockbuster Scorpion album.

Playboi Carti’s MUSIC campaign begins with “Evil J0rdan,” which debuts at No. 2 on the Hot 100. The entrance matches Playboi Carti’s best Hot 100 showing as a lead act, tying the four-way track “Type Shit,” with Future, Metro Boomin and Travis Scott, which peaked in the runner-up spot in April 2024. Among all his credits, Playboi Carti featured with fellow guest Rich the Kid on Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival,” which topped the Hot 100 for one week in March 2024.

MUSIC sparks another Hot 100 top 10 in “Rather Lie,” with The Weeknd, which starts at No. 4. The new single, now being promoted to radio, is the pair’s third shared Hot 100 entry, after “Popular,” also with Madonna, reached No. 43 in June 2023, and “Timeless,” which opened at its No. 3 peak last October.

Thanks to all the MUSIC activity, Playboi Carti surges 75-1 for his first week atop the Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption — album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming — to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of the most popular artists. The rapper previously peaked at No. 2 in January 2021, following the arrival of his Whole Lotta Red album.
