Playboi Carti Snags Top Spot on Streaming Songs Chart With ‘Evil J0rdan’

Playboi Carti tops Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the third time, debuting atop the tally dated March 29 with “Evil J0rdan.”

The new track, off Carti’s latest album Music, bows with 30.8 million official U.S. streams earned in the week ending March 20, according to Luminate.

It’s the rapper’s first fully solo No. 1 hit on Streaming Songs and second as a lead act. He first reigned as a featured artist on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Carnival” alongside Rich the Kid for three weeks starting in February 2024, followed by a one-week run atop the list last October on “Timeless,” his collaboration with The Weeknd.

Playboi Carti first reached Streaming Songs in 2017, when “Magnolia” peaked at No. 11. He has 33 career entries on the tally, including 12 top 10s, four of which come via the latest ranking. “Rather Lie” with The Weeknd follows “Evil J0rdan” at No. 2 (28 million streams), and then comes “Good Credit” with Kendrick Lamar (No. 7, 18.7 million) and “Crush” with Travis Scott (No. 9, 18.2 million).

In all, 22 songs from Music, Playboi Carti’s third studio album, appear on Streaming Songs, making him the sixth artist to notch at least 22 appearances on the survey in a single week, and it’s the 10th time in all that any act has done so. Taylor Swift holds the all-time record at 31 songs (May 4, 2024).

“Evil J0rdan” is also Playboi Carti’s third No. 1 on Rap Streaming Songs and is his fourth on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs.

Concurrently, as previously reported, “Evil J0rdan” starts at No. 2 on the all-format Billboard Hot 100, while parent album Music debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
