Travis Scott Makes History With Another #1 Debut On Billboard Hot 100
As we all wait for Travis Scott’s next studio album release, this new era for the superstar rapper is starting off well with a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
Billboard has confirmed that Travis Scott’s new single “FRANCHISE” with Young Thug and M.I.A. has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, bouncing BTS’s hit single “Dynamite” from the pole position. This is a big deal for many reasons.
“FRANCHISE” is officially Travis’ fourth #1 single, following “THE SCOTTS”, “HIGHEST IN THE ROOM”, and “SICKO MODE”. It’s Young Thug’s second time at the top of the chart, following his appearance on Camila Cabello’s “Havana”. For M.I.A., this is a huge moment as she appears at #1 for the first time ever. She also has charted in the Top 10 in each of the last three decades.
According to Chart Data, this also gives Travis the fastest accumulation of three #1 debuts in history. Also, this is the first time in a calendar year that nine songs have debuted at #1 on the Hot 100.
This follows Travis’s ultra-successful collaboration with McDonald’s.
Congratulations to the trio!
Elsewhere on the chart, BTS slid down to #2, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” moves to #3, Drake and Lil Durk hit #4, and 24kGoldn and iann dior hold down the fifth spot.

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”
Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.
Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.
Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.
In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
