BigXthaPlug Goes ‘All the Way’ for First No. 1 on Hot Rap Songs — And He Scored Another Chart First
BigXthaPlug lights up Billboard’s charts this week with multiple achievements on the lists dated Sept. 6. The rapper claims his first No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart with “All the Way,” featuring Bailey Zimmerman, while its parent album, I Hope You’re Happy, launches in the top two on both the Top Rap Albums and Top Country Albums charts, and is the most-streamed rap album of the week.
“All the Way,” released and promoted through BigXthaPlug/United Masters, ascends from the runner-up rank to crown the Hot Rap Songs survey in its 21st chart week. For its coronation on the multi-metric chart, the song registered 13.9 million official streams, 1,000 sales downloads and 12.5 million radio airplay impressions in the United States for the tracking week of Aug. 22-28, according to Luminate, gains of 29%, 38% and 9%, respectively, compared with the previous week.
As the country-rap collaboration”All the Way” topped the Hot Country Songs chart upon its debut on the April 11, 2025, list, the single becomes the first track to have reached No. 1 on both Hot Country Songs and the Hot Rap Songs charts; the former list began in October 1958, while the latter premiered in April 1989.
The incumbent champ debuted at No. 3 on Hot Rap Songs, maintaining the rank for its first 11 weeks on the chart as Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s runaway hit “Luther” and Drake’s “Nokia” dominated the top two spots. “All the Way” has yet to exit the top five since its arrival and ousts “Luther” for the summit this week after the former champ’s unprecedented 33 nonconsecutive weeks in charge.
In needing 21 weeks to reach the summit of Hot Rap Songs, “All the Way” wraps the fifth-longest climb to No. 1. Here’s a recap of its related company:
Weeks to No. 1, Song, Artist, Date Reached No. 1
28, “Po Pimp,” Do or Die feat. Twista, Oct. 26, 1996
22, “Drank in My Cup,” Kirko Bangz, May 26, 2012
22, “Watch Me,” Silento, Aug. 8, 2015
22, “Big Energy,” Latto, April 9, 2022
21, “All the Way,” BigXthaPlug feat. Bailey Zimmerman, Sept. 6, 2025
As “All the Way” goes the distance on the Hot Rap Songs chart, its parent album, I Hope You’re Happy, opens at No. 2 on Top Rap Albums with 47,000 equivalent album units. The debut passes Take Care, which peaked at No. 3 last October, for the artist’s best showing on the chart.
I Hope You’re Happy also starts at No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart and becomes only the third album to reach the top two spots on both Top Rap Albums and Top Country Albums since their co-existence beginning in 2004. It follows two Colt Ford projects: 2012’s Declaration of Independence, which topped the country chart and reached No. 2 on the rap side, while 2014’s Thanks for Listening reversed the results. (Country and rap albums are defined as those eligible or that have appeared on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.)
On the all-genre Top Streaming Albums chart, I Hope You’re Happy launches at No. 3 behind Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (No. 1) and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack (No. 2).
Including “All the Way,” BigXthaPlug logs seven songs on the Hot Rap Songs chart. The chart-topper joins four debuts: “Box Me Up,” featuring Jelly Roll (No. 6), “Pray Hard,” featuring Luke Combs (No. 15), the Darius Rucker-assisted title track (No. 19) and “About You,” featuring Tucker Wetmore (No. 23). Plus, previous release “Hell at Night,” featuring Ella Langley jumps 6-3 in its third frame, while “Home,” featuring Shaboozey, returns at No. 17 for a third week on the chart.

NFL Player Keion White Shot Following Alleged Argument With Lil Baby at a Nightclub
NFL player Keion White was shot early Monday (Feb. 9) following an alleged argument with Lil Baby at a San Francisco nightclub.
According to ABC7, White was shot in the ankle at Dahlia’s, where the 49ers defensive lineman was hosting a Super Bowl party.
SFPD responded to calls for gunshots around 4 a.m. PT on Monday, according to ABC7. The San Francisco Standard viewed the police report, which, according to the publication, said a witness told law enforcement that White got into an argument with Baby as the rapper and his entourage tried to enter the private event, and was then shot, hours after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX.
Billboard has reached out to reps for Lil Baby and the SFPD for comment.
“Any violent incident in our city is unacceptable, and I’m hoping Keion recovers quickly. I’ve spoken with SFPD and 49ers leadership — we are all grateful to our SFPD officers for their quick response,” San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said on X. “As always, I will continue working with San Francisco law enforcement to ensure our neighborhoods and our residents are safe.”
According to the San Francisco 49ers, White underwent successful surgery on his ankle and the injuries are not expected to be “career-threatening.”
“A preliminary investigation revealed a verbal altercation occurred between two groups inside a business,” San Francisco police said in a statement, per ESPN. “The victim was injured when shots were fired by an unknown suspect.”
No arrests have been made yet, and no suspects have been named by the San Francisco Police Department.
Lil Baby was spotted attending Super Bowl LX with his son, Jason. On the music side, Baby has already notched collabs with Tkandz as well as Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez in 2026. The Atlanta rapper’s “Mrs. Trendsetter” held at No. 89 on last week’s Billboard Hot 100.

Don Toliver Scores His First No. 1 Hit on Hot Rap Songs Chart
Don Toliver’s busy week across Billboard’s charts includes the rapper-singer’s first No. 1 hit on the Hot Rap Songs list, as “Body” debuts atop the ranking dated Feb. 7. The new champ, on Donnway & Co./Cactus Jack/Atlantic Records, captains his collection of 17 tracks this week’s chart. They’re all from his new album, Octane, which storms in at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart with 162,000 equivalent album units.
The 17-track parade marks the most cuts that Don Toliver has posted on the Hot Rap Songs chart in a single week, and makes him only the sixth artist to claim 17 or more simultaneous appearances. He joins Drake, who has done it twice, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Baby, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott in the chart’s 34-year history.
“Body” owes its coronation on the multimetric Hot Rap Songs chart, a weighted combination of streaming, radio airplay and sales data in the United States, almost entirely to 14.3 million official on-demand streams for the week of Jan. 30-Feb. 5, according to Luminate. Thanks to that sum, it sparks a No. 1 debut on the Rap Streaming Songs chart. In the remaining categories, “Body” had 106,000 radio audience impressions and a negligible amount of song downloads.
With “Body,” Don Toliver achieves his first Hot Rap Songs No. 1 after 30 prior appearances. The performer previously peaked twice at No. 3 through featured roles: He and NAV guested on Internet Money and Gunna’s “Lemonade,” which reached the bronze in November 2020, while his and Future’s supporting turns on Metro Boomin’s “Too Many Nights” led to the same prize in December 2022. As a lead artist, his own “Tiramisu” set his previous career high of No. 6 in September 2025.
Similarly, “Body” leads Don Toliver’s ledger on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (No. 3) and the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 (No. 14).
With “Body” on top, here’s a recap of all 17 Don Toliver tracks on Hot Rap Songs. Among them, 15 are debuts, while “ATM” and “Tiramisu” nab their second and third weeks, respectively.
- No. 1, “Body”
- No. 2, “E85”
- No. 4, “ATM”
- No. 5, “Secondhand,” feat. Rema
- No. 6, “Rendezvous,” feat. Yeat
- No. 8, “Tiramisu”
- No. 9, “Rosary,” feat. Travis Scott
- No. 10, “Call Back”
- No. 11, “Gemstone”
- No. 12, “Excavator”
- No. 13, “Opposite”
- No. 17, “All the Signs,” feat. Teezo Touchdown
- No. 18, “Tuition”
- No. 19, “K9,” feat. SahBabii

Baby Keem Announces ‘Ca$ino’ Album Release Date & Previews Kendrick Lamar Collaboration
Baby Keem is back. Keem announced plans for his upcoming album, Ca$ino, on Tuesday (Feb. 10), and the sophomore LP is slated to arrive on Feb. 20.
“Ca$ino Feb 20, 2026 Limited Edition Vinyl Available Now,” Keem wrote on Instagram. The 25-year-old revealed the LP’s cover art, which features a photo of a young Baby Keem with the parental advisory sticker.
Ca$ino boasts 12 tracks, including collaborations with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, Too Short, Momo Boys and Che Ecru.
With the four-plus-year layoff, fans are anticipating Keem’s return. “Took your time bro this better be a classic,” one person commented. Another added: “USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS!”
Keem also released a Ca$ino documentary on YouTube to accompany the announcement. The Booman I doc features appearances from plenty of Keem’s family members describing his upbringing, including an appearance from Kendrick. “I understand the hardships before he was born. Knowing his mom, that’s my first cousin,” he said. “I already knew what she was going through, just the history of our family in general. We don’t call ourselves the hillbillies for nothing.”
Lamar continued: “Section 8, welfare … This is a story of a warfare environment and a warfare psychologically trying to change our generational curses.”
There’s also footage of Keem in the studio working on his collab with Lamar, “Good Flirts.” “Walking in the party, I don’t feel nobody/ What the f—k,” K. Dot raps on the hard-hitting track. “Is it fake, is it love, probably/ I smell something.”
Baby Keem’s debut album, The Melodic Blue, arrived in September 2021 and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. He released a deluxe for the LP in October 2022 featuring Lil Uzi Vert and PinkPantheress.
