Post Malone Has No Songs On The Hot 100 Chart For The First Time In Years

More than most other artists today, Post Malone is a name that comes to mind when you think about chart longevity. Over the past few years, he has had a number of songs that have popped up at or near the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed in the general area for weeks and weeks. Earlier this year, for instance, “Circles” set the record for the most time spent in the top 10 of the chart. Now, though, for the first time in a long time, he currently has no songs on the Hot 100 at all.

Chart Data points out that Malone does not have a song on the Hot 100 for the first time since January 2017. This comes after two of his songs had massive drop-offs: On last week’s chart (dated November 7), “Circles” sat at No. 18 and Ty Dolla Sign’s Malone-featuring cut “Spicy” debuted at No. 53. Neither song appears on the chart dated November 14.

For the first time since January 2017, @PostMalone is not charting on the Hot 100.

Malone has released no singles as a lead artist this year, although he has appeared as a featured artist on some songs in 2020, including Big Sean’s “Wolves,” Justin Bieber’s “Forever,” and Ozzy Osbourne’s “It’s A Raid.”

Ty Dolla Sign is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Pags creates a laid-back but calculated approach on new release “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR”

Pags’ latest release, “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is a hip-hop/trap track that puts emphasis on tone, flow and subtle complexity with a laid-back but calculated approach. Rather than providing obvious hooks or lengthy lyrics, the song invites self-engagement.

The relaxed conversational cadence brings an easy rhythm to the song. Pags is clean so every bar comes through naturally. This performance doesn’t need attention, but it does reward it. What’s interesting about “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is the writing.

Some lines are immediate, some deferred. This has gotten a lot of responses which is good for the track. Makes you curious so you listen again to understand. Pags doesn’t like explaining. That choice gives the song a conversational rather than show tone. “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is about the build up and the things that make you want to listen again.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”

Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.

“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.

The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.

The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
