The Weeknd has made a triumphant return to the Billboard charts this week with his latest song, 'Young Metro.' The track, featuring Future and Metro Boomin, has quickly climbed the ranks and debuted at an impressive No. 9 on the Hot 100 chart. This marks The Weeknd's ninety-ninth song to chart on the Hot 100, bringing him within reach of a major career milestone of achieving triple-digit placements on Billboard's prestigious ranking of the most-consumed tracks in the U.S.

Future and Metro Boomin are also dominating the charts this week, with their joint album 'We Don't Trust You' claiming the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart. In addition to their album success, the duo has five tracks debuting inside the top 10 on the Hot 100, further solidifying their reign on the music scene.

Since his debut on the Hot 100 in 2012, The Weeknd has established himself as one of the most successful musicians globally, consistently delivering chart-topping hits. With seven No. 1 singles and a total of 18 top 10 hits to his name, The Weeknd's impact on the music industry is undeniable.

As anticipation builds for The Weeknd's one-hundredth Hot 100 placement, fans are eager to see how he will achieve this milestone. Whether through new solo releases or collaborations yet to be announced, it is only a matter of time before The Weeknd joins the elite club of artists with over 100 charting songs on the Hot 100.

Notable artists who have achieved this feat include Drake, leading with 329 Hot 100 appearances, followed by Taylor Swift with 232. The Weeknd's impending milestone will further solidify his status as a chart-topping powerhouse in the music industry.
