Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated April 6, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.
10. Ariana Grande — “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait For Your Love)”
Grande’s single has had a quick descent since it debuted at No. 1 two weeks ago: It was No. 3 last week, and now it’s barely hanging on to top-10 status.
9. Future, Metro Boomin, and The Weeknd — “Young Metro”
Future and Metro Boomin’s new album We Don’t Trust You had a major week on the Hot 100, as “Young Metro” is just one of five songs from the project in this week’s top 10.
8. Future and Metro Boomin — “We Don’t Trust You”
“We Don’t Trust You” is one of the others, and the only one on which Future and Metro aren’t joined by another artist.
7. Jack Harlow — “Lovin On Me”
It’s been a few months now, but “Lovin On Me” is still floating around the top 10 after a bit of a drop from No. 4 last week.
6. Future, Metro Boomin, and Travis Scott — “Cinderella”
Travis Scott managed to land a pair of songs (more on that later) in this week’s top 10 thanks to linking up with Future and Metro on their album.
5. Hozier — “Too Sweet”
Hozier’s three albums have all performed well on the charts, but in terms of singles, he’s been sitting in “one-hit wonder” territory for years now with “Take Me To Church,” which peaked at No. 2 in 2014. “Too Sweet” is having a real moment, though, as the song debuts at No. 5 this week, making it his highest debut on the chart and his first top-10 single since “Take Me To Church.”
Boone, another chart newcomer with his recent hit, also had a bit of a decline this time around, moving down from No. 2.
2. Future, Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, and Playboi Carti — “Type Sh*t”
Future and Metro secured the top two spots on this week’s chart, and they got some help from Scott and Carti to do it with “Type Sh*t.”
1. Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar — “Like That”
This week represents a major milestone for Metro, as “Like That” is his first No. 1 single as an artist (as opposed to as a producer). For both Future and Kendrick, “Like That” is their third No. 1 song. The tune is Metro’s third No. 1 as a producer, as he was also on the boards for The Weeknd’s “Heartless” and Migos’ “Bad And Boujee.”
This week’s #Hot100 top 10 (chart dated April 6, 2024).
(Spoilers for The Ones Who Live will obviously be found below….)
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live brought this universe’s greatest love story (sorry, Glenn and Maggie) to a season finale over the weekend. From there, AMC’s zombie-involved focus — at least from the previews shown during the subsequent Parish broadcast — appears to currently be on teasing Daryl Dixon Season 2: The Book Of Carol. Will there, however, be any more of the spin off with Michonne and Rick Grimes?
Surely, viewers would not be disappointed to see these two moaning once more in a second season of The Ones Who Live, but that could present bigger downsides than benefits because (as many devotees recognized on Twitter) this season ended in a way that gives Rick and Michonne the happiest ending possible, and a moderately realistic one at that. Michonne brought Rick home, and they embraced Judith and R.J, who was wearing apparently wearing Rick’s old hat, as previously worn by both Carl and Judith.
Why potentially nix that beautiful ending with a second season, in which tragedy could (and surely will) strike again? Exactly. This season finale delivered the catharsis that viewers wanted to see, and as of now, no followup season has been confirmed. However, here are suggestions that Rick and Michonne will appear elsewhere, possibly in a crossover series, which sounds like a fine compromise.
Let’s go back to the “will it happen?” question with what’s been said so far…
Speaking to Television Critics Association last winter, Scott Gimple and Danai Gurira were understandably staying mum on the subject. More recently to Entertainment Weekly, Gimple declared that the story is “definitely going to go somewhere… But it might just be in my brain. It might just be my fan fiction.”
Whereas Lincoln then suggested that a crossover could be in the works: “Never say never. There are other very important characters in the universe that are still wandering around and alive that I think it might be quite exciting to have them breathe the same air and see how long they survive together.”
In other words, keep your eyes open for confirmation of Crossover City.
Drea de Matteo is making serious dough on OnlyFans. Denise Richards is doing even better. InTouch reports that the Wild Things, Starship Troopers, and Drop Dead Gorgeous (a great triple feature of misunderstood ’90s films) actress earns $2 million every month from the subscription-based platform.
“Once I started to learn about it, I really think that the creators of the site really took the best of every platform of social media and put it into one site,” Richards previously told KTLA about her decision to join OnlyFans. “We all post pictures with ourselves with bathing suits on Instagram and some of the other sites that there’s no difference other than you actually own the content.”
Richards isn’t the only member of her family on there: her 20-year-old daughter with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, Sami Sheen, also runs a popular OnlyFans account.
“I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has,” Richards wrote on Instagram in 2022 in response to the backlash to Sami joining the platform. “And I also can’t be judgemental of her choices. I did Wild Things & Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn’t be either. And to be able to ignore the negativity at her age? It took me many years & I still sometimes struggle. I’m in awe of her ability to be able to shut out the noise.”
Beyoncé’sCowboy Carter has been out for a few days now, but some fans are unhappy as the vinyl editions of they album they ordered are starting to arrive: There are reports that not all of the album’s songs are included in the physical edition.
What Songs Are Missing From Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Vinyl?
As fans have noted (like ones in this Reddit thread), “Spaghettii,” “Flamenco,” “The Linda Martell Show,” “Ya Ya,” and “Oh Louisiana” are reportedly not included on the currently available vinyl pressings of the album. The same is also reportedly true for the CD version except for “Flamenco,” which is on the CD.
Cowboy Carter is 79:03 in total length. A standard 33 RPM vinyl record can contain up to 25 minutes of audio per side, so 50 minutes per record. However, Cowboy Carter is a 2LP release, so across the LPs, there would be more than enough room for the complete album’s running time in the 100 minutes of total space. Meanwhile, CDs can hold up to 80 minutes of audio, so the album’s length shouldn’t be an issue in that format either.
As some have pointed out (and as unboxing videos like the one below show), the tracklist of the songs actually included on the vinyl and CD editions isn’t printed anywhere on them. What does appear on these physical releases is a QR code, which, when scanned, brings you to music.beyonce.com. This page displays the full Cowboy Carter tracklist, not the truncated tracklists from the physical releases. The tracklist also isn’t visible anywhere on Beyoncé’s online shop. So, essentially, fans had no way of knowing which songs would be excluded from these releases before buying them, or that any would be cut at all.
As for why this happened, some theorize that last-minute changes were made to the album and re-pressing the vinyl would have been impractical or too costly. Some upset fans said they plan to file a chargeback or dispute for the transaction.
Cowboy Carter is out now via Parkwood/Columbia Records. Find more information here.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter rollout has been flawlessly methodical. Even still, people found something to be upset about. According to Rolling Stone, people were less than enthused about the Cowboy Carter vinyl because it reportedly excludes “Ya Ya,” “Spaghettii,” “The Linda Martell Show,” “Oh Louisiana,” and “Flamenco.”
“The preordered CD is also missing those first four songs but includes ‘Flamenco,’ which has spawned another complaint: The ‘limited edition’ compact disc version promised the inclusion of an ‘additional song,’ with many fans assuming it was an unreleased, exclusive bonus track,” Rolling Stone relayed. “Instead, the ‘additional song’ appears to just be ‘Flamenco,’ a track already on the digital version of the album.”
Nobody definitively knows why those five songs (allegedly, seemingly, reportedly) were left off from physical versions of the album, but the BBC suggested that perhaps Beyoncé “added these songs late into the album’s creation.” Also worth noting is that the album is 79:03 long, and the Cowboy Carter vinyl edition is a 2LP release. Each side of a standard record can hold up to 25 minutes of audio, so the full album would fit into the 100 minutes of space across the 2LPs. Additionally, the tracklist of the songs included on the vinyl release isn’t listed on Beyoncé’s online shop or even on the physical release itself.
It’s only a guess, but the outlet posited, “Vinyl pressing plants are booked months in advance, with lead times of 10 weeks to six months — meaning albums have to be submitted long in advance of their release.” However, Varietysmartly pointed out that the explanation wouldn’t necessarily make sense if “II Most Wanted” was under construction as recently as February, as contributing musicians suggested.
It should also be noted that Beyoncé’s store offers Cowboy Carter in four different vinyl variations — black, blue, red, and white — so specific complaints might only apply to certain vinyl variants.
See some of the reactions emerging from the BeyHive below.
Some Beyoncé fans who received their physical copies of “Cowboy Carter” were confused that tracks included on the digital release were missing, with four omitted from the CD and five from the LP. https://t.co/gS8HJFJs5y
the physical release for cowboy carter is so messy like? no regular cover vinyl, spine of the alt cover saying beyince instead of cc, missing songs on both cd and vinyl, no deluxe cd song unlike advertised and still no official reason why pic.twitter.com/NVqGaqMGax
streets saying ya ya and spaghetti not on the cowboy carter vinyl since they were pressed a while ago and she has since changed the album pic.twitter.com/DalNtPz73X
It was 5:45 a.m. and I was waiting in my car for a fast food restaurant to open.
Let me explain.
In late 2023, McDonald’s launched CosMc’s, a spinoff restaurant named for an alien character in the extended McDonaldLand Universe. CosMc first appeared in the 1980s, when he “got all six hands on McDonald’s menu items… and never returned,” as the official lore goes. Somewhere out there in the cosmos, CosMc started experimenting with the recipes, and after serving millions of his fellow aliens, he “decided it was time to bring this menu down to Earth.”
The first CosMc’s opened in Bolingbrook, Illinois, outside of Chicago. It recently expanded to a second location in Dallas, Texas, within driving distance of my current residence in Austin. I read about the long lines (three hours!) in Illinois, so rather than risk the wait during the dinner rush, I arrived at CosMc’s on a recent Sunday morning, 15 minutes before doors opened. This proved to be a wise decision: I was the only one there, other than the half-dozen employees who were prepared to direct the forthcoming traffic in the drive-thru line, with another dozen or so inside.
Here’s what it looked like:
uproxx
I don’t drink coffee and I didn’t want to set myself up for a late-morning sugar crash, so I didn’t add any beverages to my order (I’m sure my fast food expert colleague Dane will have a full menu review when CosMc’s moves out west). I also excluded any items that are available at any ol’ McDonald’s, like the Egg McMuffin or Oreo McFlurry.
Here’s what I got — beginning with some quick hitters before getting to the signature sandwich.
Creamy Avocado Tomatillo Sandwich
UPROXX
The avocado tomatillo sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but I liked the crunch that the bacon provided. A solid breakfast sandwich.
Savory Hash Brown Bites
uproxx
A smaller version of the iconic McDonald’s hash brown. The bites come four to an order and there’s just enough of a difference from its larger counterpart (the mini features parsley, onion, and garlic, unlike the original) to make it worth impulsively adding as a side.
Snack Box
uproxx
It’s a box… with snacks. I’m not sure why I even bothered trying the packaged gouda cheese, sliced pepperoni, flax seed crackers, and a squirrel-size amount of almonds and dried cranberries. Don’t make my mistake.
Mixed Bag McPops
uproxx
I will try anything with the Mc- prefix at Mcdonald’s. McDouble? Of course. McNuggets? I must’ve eaten hundreds in high school. McGeneral Tso’s Chicken? If it existed, you know it. The McPops — essentially mini donuts filled with your choice of cookie butter, apple cinnamon, and hazelnut, or all three in the mixed bag — is the latest member of the McFamily.
Unfortunately, they didn’t live up to the McHype. Of the three, I would go with the apple cinnamon.
Now, on to the main feature…
Spicy Queso Sandwich
uproxx
We do things a little different down here in Texas. We slap the state flag on literally every surface imaginable, we still call the Dallas Cowboys “America’s Team” even though they haven’t won a Super Bowl in decades, and we have strong queso takes. Before moving here, I never thought twice about queso; now, after living in Texas for over a decade, I would die for the melted cheese (assuming it doesn’t kill me from a heart attack first).
Is the Spicy Queso Sandwich at CosMc’s the best queso I’ve ever had? No, of course not — but it’s still pretty good.
The sandwich is served in a brioche bun and consists of an omelet-style egg, spicy queso sauce, melted white cheddar cheese, jalapeño chips, and sausage, which I removed in favor of smoked bacon. The bun was whatever, but I was pleasantly surprised that the sauce and chips added a slight hit of spice. Not a lot, especially for the heatseekers of the world, but more than I expected from a fast food breakfast sandwich.
In short, I was impressed.
The Spicy Queso Sandwich isn’t worth a multi-hour wait, but if you’re driving past a CosMc’s and see a short line, give it a try.
April Fools is the worst day of the year, aside from that one day when everyone stops wearing pants, and yet every year we are forced to understand what is real vs fake. It’s gotten a lot harder over the years, thanks to AI and your aunt’s Facebook posts, but misinformation is everywhere! Be vigilant!
Over the weekend, entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider claimed that Sydney Sweeney was in talks to star in Johnny Depp‘s upcoming Day Drinker. The film is based on the novel of the same name and would be part of Depp’s return to the big screen after his defamation trial.
However, Sweeney took to X/Twitter to address the “rumors” but promoting Immaculate, her blood-soaked thriller. It seems like April Fools is playing everyone this year, though a day early. Sneider didn’t take this admission well:
Sweeney’s camp confirmed to EW that she is not involved in the new film. Sweeney has been on a hot streak over the last few months with Anyone But You and Immaculate pulling in major box office numbers. She also handled the Madame Web debacle like a champ.
Meanwhile, when he’s not mistaken posting photoshops of himself alongside Robert Downey Jr., Depp has recently been the voice of Johnny Puff in the animated series Puffins. So…that’s where he’s at.
We’d all like to believe that we know our pets. Every pet has their own distinctive look and even if they look like a sibling, they have different personalities making it much easier to identify your pet. But every once in awhile there’s a bit of a mixup where you see a cat outside that looks like yours so you find yourself frantically darting out the door while your cat is asleep under your bed.
One couple’s cat mixup went in a different direction. They brought their cat inside and piddled around the house for a few hours before settling in for a snuggle session on the couch. It was then that the cat’s mom noticed a cat outside that looked exactly like their cuddly little guy.
Instantly you see the confusion and concern register when they look closely at the imposter enjoying all the extra attention while the other stares from outside. Surely the real cat was offended that his own parents didn’t know they were snuggling up to a generic version of him.
“Babe, look at the cat outside. That looks like you Rado, is that your brother,” the cat mom asks before appearing unsure if the cat in her husband’s arms is actually their cat. Turned out the cat was not theirs and they quickly let the strange cat outside and scooped up their own cat. Commenters found the now viral situation hilarious.
One person writes, “slight error in the cat distribution system.”
Another commenter says, “the way its body language is screaming ‘kidnapped.'”
Someone laughs, “the fact that the cat was going to play it off and continue his days as Rado.”
“Plot twist,” a commenter writes. “Cats been switching places for months and they just noticed.”
In a follow up video, Brandon Robert, Rado’s dad, shows the photo a their actual cat and the imposter. They’re strikingly similar so it’s easy to see how Robert picked up the wrong cat while not wearing his glasses. Thankfully all is well now and their cat is back inside where he belongs but you can watch the hilarious moment of realization below.
While there are different types of IPAs with different flavor profiles, the classic flavors include floral notes, citrus, tropical fruits, and dank, resinous pine. West Coast IPAs are known for their memorable, bitter (sometimes aggressively bitter) finish. While that’s all well and good, these classic flavors can be heightened by complementary flavors.
Plenty of fruits pair well with IPA darkness. But the best among them is grapefruit.
Since many IPAs already have a citrus element thanks to hops like Citra, Centennial, Cascade, and Amarillo, the addition of grapefruit cranks the flavor up to eleven. You can’t go wrong when your pine-bomb is front-loaded with tart, sour-meets-sweet grapefruit notes.
We picked eight of the best grapefruit IPAs on the market and ranked them for you based on overall flavor and how complementary the grapefruit is to the overall flavor. Keep scrolling to see if your favorite grapefruit IPA made the list.
This award-winning IPA is brewed with water, sorghum, brown rice, Candi syrup, tapioca maltodextrin, Cascade and Horizon hops (and dry-hopped with Altus hops), grapefruit puree, and yeast. The result is a juicy, sweet IPA with a ton of tart, refreshing grapefruit, and gently bitter hops.
Tasting Notes:
Up front, there’s a nice hint of malt sweetness on the nose. This is followed by bright grapefruit, lemon peel, and floral, gently spicy hops. There’s more of the same on the palate beginning with a caramel malt backbone that’s heightened by the addition of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, grass, and floral, gently bitter pine at the finish.
Bottom Line:
This is a well-balanced beer that leans just as much into the malts as it does the expected grapefruit element.
If you’re a fan of light, sessionable IPAs you’re likely well aware of Founder All Day IPA. But did you know there’s a hazy grapefruit version? This citrusy, hoppy, crushable beer is brewed with 2-row, Crystal light malts as well as rolled oats and red wheat. It gets its hop aroma and flavor from the use of Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is loaded with notes of freshly baked bread, caramel malts, grapefruit zest, orange peels, and dank, resinous pine. Sipping it reveals notes of yeasty bread, caramel malts, tangerine, grapefruit, grass, hay, and resinous, sticky pine needles. The finish is perfectly bitter and hoppy.
Bottom Line:
For a light, sessionable IPA, this grapefruit-centered beer has a ton of aroma and flavor. It’s a great beer for a hot, sunny day.
With a name like Hello, Grapefruit you should have a pretty good idea about what you’re in for when you sip this beer. Brewed with two-row and Caravienne malts as well as white wheat and Citra and Amarillo hops, it’s known for its malty, tropical fruit, citrus, piney, crisp flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
This light, sessionable beer begins with a nose of bready malts, honey, mango, grapefruit, and dank pine. On the palate, you’ll find notes of yeasty bread, caramel, honey, grass, mango, guava, lemon, a ton of grapefruit, and floral, resinous piney hops. The finish is lightly bitter in the best way.
Bottom Line:
While this beer has a ton of grapefruit aroma and flavor, it also has a good deal of malt as well as other tropical fruit flavors to make it stand out from the crowd.
Available from December through March, this 6.5% ABV IPA is brewed with 2-row pale malt and honey malt. It gets its hop presence from the liberal use of Simcoe. Simcoe Cryo, and Strata hops. It gets its citrus element from the addition of real grapefruit extract.
Tasting Notes:
A lot is going on with this beer’s nose. There are aromas of cereal grains, lemon peels, tangerines, grapefruit zest, and dank pine. On the palate, you’ll find notes of biscuit-like malts, caramel, grass, pink grapefruit juice, lemon peels, and resinous pine. The finish is a nice mix of citrus and hop bitterness.
Bottom Line:
While there’s a nice kick of grapefruit, this is a good choice for fans of citrus in general. There’s much more to this IPA than just grapefruit.
This Nantucket-based brewery makes a handful of popular beers. Our favorite is the Gripah Grapefruit IPA. Loaded with grapefruit, other citrus, tropical fruit flavors, and dank piney hops, it’s brewed with Citra, Amarillo, Galaxy, and El Dorado hops.
Tasting Notes:
Complex aromas of caramel malts, tangerine, pink grapefruit, mango, guava, pineapple, grass, and herbal, floral hops start everything off on the right foot. Sipping it brings forth notes of biscuity malts, orange peels, lemongrass, pink grapefruit juice, mango, caramelized pineapple, and resinous pine. The finish is pleasantly hoppy and bitter.
Bottom Line:
Sweet malts, tropical fruits, random citrus fruits, grapefruit, and bitter pine. What’s not to love?
This isn’t your average citrus IPA. It’s a potent, fruity, citrus-filled 8.8% ABV West Coast double IPA with grapefruit. It gets its flavor from the addition of real grapefruit and Mosaic and Centennial hops. The result is a hoppy, bitter, dry IPA you won’t soon forget.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is a nice mix of ripe grapefruit, lemongrass, candied orange peels, sweet malts, hay, and dank, resinous pine needles. Drinking it reveals notes of caramel malts, honey, grass, lemon peels, lime zest, tangerine, grapefruit, and dank, sticky, spicy hops. The finish is dry and bitter and leaves you craving more.
Bottom Line:
Claremont Grapefruit IPA is a classic West Coast IPA with a tart, citrus twist. Oh yeah, and it’s 8.8% ABV.
Holy Roller is Urban South’s flagship hazy IPA. It only made sense to make a grapefruit-centric version. This year-round favorite is brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops as well as real grapefruit. The result is a hazy, juicy, citrus-filled New England-style IPA that can’t be missed.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of yeasty bread, grapefruit, tangerines, caramel malts, fresh-cut grass, pineapple, and fur tips make for a welcoming start. The palate continues this trend with freshly baked bread, caramel malts, honey, fresh flowers, wet grass, hay, tangerine, lemon peels, pink grapefruit, and dank pine. The finish is a mix of sweetness and bitter hops.
Bottom Line:
If you’re a fan of New England-style IPAs and you also enjoy fruited IPAs, this is a beer for you.
When it comes to grapefruit IPAs, there are none more famous than Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. Like the brand’s classic Sculpin IPA, it’s brewed with Simcoe and Amarillo hops. The addition of grapefruit flavor kicks this beer into overdrive.
Tasting Notes:
A nose of caramel malts, honey, fresh-cut grass, hay, lemon, grapefruit zest, and dank pine starts everything off on a pleasant note. The palate is classic IPA with a ton of caramel malt, wet grass, honey, hay, pineapple, tangerine, lemon peel, pink grapefruit, and resinous, sticky pine. The finish is very bitter and ties everything together nicely.
Bottom Line:
If you only drink one beer on this list, make it Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin. It ticks all the grapefruit IPA boxes.
The Neptunes hold the credits to some of the biggest hits of the 2000s. The production duo, which consisted of Virginia Beach natives Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, contributed beats to everyone from Britney Spears to Snoop Dogg, with significant impact on the careers of Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Kelis, Nelly, Robin Thicke, T.I., and more.
Unfortunately, it looks like the future of the odd couple’s production brand is in dispute as Hugo’s attorneys have filed legal documents claiming Williams attempted to register trademarks for the Neptunes name in violation of a previous agreement to split everything 50/50.
Hugo’s attorney Kenneth D. Freundlich wrote in the filing, “By ignoring and excluding [Hugo] from the any and all applications filed by applicant for the mark ‘The Neptunes,’ applicant has committed fraud in securing the trademarks and acted in bad faith.”
However, according to a statement to Billboard from Pharrell’s reps, Williams did try to get Chad onboard with no success. ““Pharrell is surprised by this,” it reads. “We have reached out on multiple occasions to share in the ownership and administration of the trademark and will continue to make that offer. The goal here was to make sure a third party doesn’t get a hold of the trademark and to guarantee Chad and Pharrell share in ownership and administration.”
Billboard explains in its report that Williams submitted three applications in 2022 to register The Neptunes: one for streaming, one for music videos and similar media, and one for live performances. Hugo’s attorneys argue that his name was not listed as a co-owner of the The Neptunes entity and that they reached out to Williams to get the issue corrected multiples times since. While Williams’ reps have apparently offered to include Hugo, it would be under what Chad’s lawyers call “onerous business terms.”
