Playboi Carti has joined Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen in an exclusive club of artists who have dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart by flooding it with an unprecedented number of hits from a single album. This week, Carti charted 30 tracks from his new album “Music,” becoming just the third artist to achieve this feat. Wallen was the first to accomplish this in 2023, when his album “One Thing at a Time” placed all 36 of its tracks on the Hot 100.
Swift matched this in May 2024 with her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which saw 32 of its songs chart simultaneously. Carti’s “Music” has been met with critical acclaim, and the sheer volume of hits underscores his dominance in the hip-hop world. His track “Evil Jordan” nearly topped the chart, debuting at No.
2, while his collaboration with The Weeknd, “Rather Lie,” opened at No. 4.
Carti joins exclusive chart club
In total, Carti secured 10 spots within the top 40. Wallen is on the verge of another potential record-breaking moment. His new album “I’m the Problem” is expected to drop in mid-May, and if it performs like its predecessor, Wallen could once again dominate the Hot 100 chart.
Swift and Wallen’s legendary chart success has paved the way, and now, Carti has joined their ranks. This week marks a significant milestone in his career and in the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry. Until recently, it seemed impossible for an artist to fill nearly one-third of the entire Hot 100 chart in a single week.
But these three artists have proven that with the right combination of talent, marketing, and fan engagement, it is possible to achieve chart dominance on an unprecedented scale. As the music industry continues to evolve and streaming becomes an even more important metric of success, it will be interesting to see if other artists can match or surpass the achievements of Carti, Swift, and Wallen in the future.
