Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Like That’ Leads Hot 100 for Third Week
Plus, J. Cole’s “7 Minute Drill” debuts in the top 10.
Among hip-hop hits (defined as those that have appeared on Billboard ’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart), “Like That” is the first to achieve the feat since Cardi B’s “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, did so in its first six weeks in August-September 2020. On “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole is widely interpreted as responding to Kendrick Lamar’s apparent disses directed at himself and Drake in Future, Metro Boomin and Lamar’s “Like That.” Days after releasing “7 Minute Drill,” J. Cole publicly apologized for the track’s arrival, explaining that it doesn’t “sit right with my spirit.” The song was removed from the streaming edition of his album Might Delete Later on April 12, one day after the end of the latest charts’ tracking week. In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published.
