Luther to finally step down… and Morgan Wallen to take everything.
We talk Tate’s first potential #1, album bombs, post-Morgan chart chaos, Warren vs. Wallen for next week’s #1, and who’s about to heat up summer 2025.

Plus: Jin, Benson, Miley, Taylor, and Mariah(!!). Buckle up.

Episode 6 is here — and the winds are shifting.
As Luther continues its impressive run, Morgan Wallen's I’m The Problem is looking to storm in with a chart-cleansing album bomb.

We break down what this means for the Hot 100, whether What I Want will debut at No. 1, and how Tate McRae might be heading for her first chart-topper.

Is this the start of a new era on the charts?

The fight for #1 is heating up. Rosé makes a splash with Messy, and sombr’s Undressed climbs fast with TikTok's boost. But can either or anyone shake up the chart’s stagnant top tier?

Meanwhile, Luther ties a decade record, Ordinary keeps climbing, and A Bar Song (Tipsy) stays locked in the top five. We break it all down in Episode 5 of Hits of Our Lives.

The charts remain slow—but Ordinary is rising fast. Is it quietly becoming the song of the summer? We track its climb, Luther’s continued reign, and a wave of soulful indie and R&B gaining ground. Plus: why this week’s new releases didn’t shake the charts as expected, and how The Marías are sneaking into the conversation with one of 2025’s most persistent streaming tracks.

This week on Hits of Our Lives, we dive into Alex Warren’s rise into the Top 3 with "Ordinary," Wallen and Post Malone’s solid but quieter return with "I Ain’t Comin’ Back," and the overall weakness across the charts. Plus, Lorde steps back into the spotlight with "What Was That," as new contenders start to shake up a slow season.

Kendrick & SZA’s “Luther” locks in its 8th week at #1 with the 9th and more in horizon, while Drake and BigX shake up the top 5 with major debuts and milestones. We unpack Morgan Wallen’s quiet takeover, Coachella’s streaming boost with the likes of Lady Gaga, and all the early predictions for next week’s chart—including a potential record-breaker.
