Will Benson Boone, Hozier or J. Cole Be Able to Overtake ‘Like That’ on the Hot 100 Next Week?


Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" and Hozier's "Too Sweet" are in the mix to dethrone Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" at No. 1.

This week (for the upcoming Billboard Hot 100 dated April 20), things get tight at the top for Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar, with lingering threats from Benson Boone and Hozier and a new direct response from J. Cole. But with 2023’s well-received Unreal Unearth and subsequent tour and an ever-growing TikTok presence, the Irish singer-songwriter is once again proving to be a real factor on the chart: He debuted three songs last week from the new Unheard EP, led by the No. It didn’t quite detonate on impact the way “Like That” did, with many pundits taking issue with its more measured, perhaps less-committed tone, but it still shot up to near the top of the DSPs’ daily charts and remained the most-debated song on social media all weekend.
