Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar's collaboration on the track 'Like That' has taken the music world by storm, claiming the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song, featured on their joint album 'We Don't Trust You,' has not only secured the No. 1 position on the singles chart but has also propelled the album to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Lamar's direct response to Drake and J. Cole's 'First Person Shooter' within 'Like That' has stirred up significant buzz. In 'First Person Shooter,' Drake and Cole reference themselves as part of the 'big three' best rappers in the industry, prompting Lamar to address this in his lyrics. He dismisses the notion of a 'big three' and asserts his individual prowess with lines like 'Motherfuck the big three, n-a, it's just big me.'
The impact of Lamar's verses in 'Like That' has been substantial, with the song amassing 60 million streams and garnering 5.6 million radio airplay audience impressions in its debut week. Additionally, four other tracks from 'We Don't Trust You' have secured positions in the Hot 100 chart, further solidifying the album's success.
Billboard's Global 200 songs chart also sees 'Like That' leading the pack, underscoring its global appeal. The album itself has achieved remarkable success, earning 251,000 album units in the US, primarily driven by streaming activity. This marks the biggest opening week of 2024 for any album, with Future and Metro Boomin achieving significant milestones in their respective careers.
Looking ahead, the duo is gearing up to release a companion album to 'We Don't Trust You' on April 12, promising more musical offerings for their fans. In the broader music landscape, Olivia Rodrigo's 'Guts' has secured the No. 2 spot on the charts following a deluxe reissue, while Hozier's 'Unheard' EP has made a strong debut at No. 10, propelled by both album units and streaming numbers.
On the Hot 100 chart, Hozier's track 'Too Sweet' has entered at No. 5, marking his second Top 10 hit. The remaining positions in the Top 10 are held by familiar names such as Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, Jack Harlow, and Ariana Grande, showcasing the diverse range of talent making waves in the music industry.
