BIGXTHAPLUG F/BAILEY ZIMMERMAN, SLEEP TOKEN STORM DSPs

Two new songs have stormed the upper reaches of the Spotify U.S chart, and they may not be the ones you expected.

While Drake's "Nokia" remains at #1, "All the Way" (Atlantic/Warner Nashville), a collab between Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug and country chart-topper Bailey Zimmerman, debuted at #2 on the Spot U.S. and on Apple Music, and at #69 on Spotify global. Kudos to Teams BigX and Zimmerman (and his very happy Atlantic A&R execs, Ian Cripps and Jeff Levin) for pulling off this cross-genre smash. BigX will release a country-inspired album later this year.

Meanwhile, mysterious U.K. alternative-metal band Sleep Token is shaping up to be the breakout rock act of 2025, as its new single, "Caramel," shot onto the Spot U.S. at #3 and #24 global following the success of previous opus "Emergence." The masked group's U.S. arena tour is already sold out, a picture-perfect setup for its RCA debut, Even in Arcadia, due on 5/9.

Other top debuts include Coachella-bound The Marías (Nice Life/Atlantic), whose new "Back to Me" premiered at #24 on Spotify U.S.; new tracks from a pair of global superstars, Columbia's Miley Cyrus and Atlantic's Ed Sheeran (the latter a last-minute addition to Coachella), who saw U.S. debuts at #26 and #60, respectively, and global bows at #33 and #27 for their new singles, "End of the World" and "Azizam"; and songstress Laufey (Vingolf), whose "Sliver Lining" sits at #59 on the Spot U.S.

Meanwhile, Columbia's Malcolm Todd enjoyed another big leap as "Chest Pain (I Love)" finds a new peak at #29 on Spotify U.S.

Now, back to losing money on college basketball.
