TOP 50: FUTURE & METRO BRING THE BOOM

Future & Metro Boomin open at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with the first of two collaborative albums, WE DON'T TRUST YOU (Boominati/Freebandz/Republic/ Epic). The 17-track set scores the year’s biggest bow so far, with 250k. That activity, which includes 320m+ streams (audio and video), produced the biggest streaming week for a song in 2024 (50m+) thanks to the Drake-dissing collab “Like That” f/Kendrick Lamar. Future and Metro will release the follow-up to TRUST on 4/12.

Geffen’s Olivia Rodrigo rises to #2 with the deluxe iteration of her sophomore blockbuster. GUTS (spilled) doubles the activity of the original version, moving 73k this week. With five new tracks, the project now boasts 17 songs.

House Lipman occupies half of the Top 20 courtesy of titles by Ariana Grande, Morgan Wallen (two), Noah Kahan, Drake, Post Malone and Taylor Swift (four).

With a four-track EP, Columbia’s Hozier scores the week's second-biggest bow. Unheard, B-sides from the Irish troubadour’s Unreal, Unearth LP, moves an impressive 38k for #8, driven by big-streaming cut "Too Sweet." Sony Latin’s Shakira also lands a top debut: Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran arrives at #14.

Further down the chart are new entries from Warner Nashville's Kenny Chesney (#21), FAX/Epic's Tyla (#25) and Capitol's FLETCHER (#36).

Streeting this week are new projects by Parkwood/Columbia’s Beyoncé, HYBE’s j-hope, Big Machine’s Sheryl Crow, BMG/Rise’s Sum 41, EMPIRE’s Buddy and 10K/Interscope’s MGK & Trippie Redd.
