Lil Wayne's 15-Year-Old Son Scores His First Chart Hit
Lil Wayne debuts 17 tracks from Tha Carter VI on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, including ... More a father-son collab with Kameron Carter titled "Rari." DALLAS, TEXAS - MAY 26: Lil Wayne performs onstage during Night 2 of the TwoGether Land Music Festival at Fair Park on May 26, 2024 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by) Lil Wayne is having another big week on the charts in the United States. His new album Tha Carter VI, debuts at No. 1 on a number of Billboard rankings, and he invades several of the hip-hop and rap-focused tallies with multiple tracks from the full-length. This is not an unusual performance for one of the biggest stars to ever rap, but this latest slew of smashers may be special to the Grammy winner, as he's made his newest effort a family affair. Kameron Carter Scores His First Billboard Hit Kameron Carter, Wayne's son, earns what appears to be his first Billboard hit this week. The 15-year-old, whose mother is actress Lauren London, collaborates with his father on the track 'Rari.' The Tha Carter VI album cut opens at No. 47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which ranks the most consumed tunes in those styles across the U.S., blending sales and streaming data as well as radio airplay. Lil Wayne Floods the Charts With Tha Carter VI Carter may only be credited on one track, but Wayne lands 17 new hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week, all taken from Tha Carter VI. The rapper didn't push any singles from the full-length before dropping the project in full, so excitement around these tunes is especially high at the moment. Lil Wayne Extends His Impressive Chart History Throughout his career, Wayne has collected an incredible 234 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Included in that massive number are 53 top 10s — a figure he adds to with just one track this frame, as the aptly titled 'Hip-Hop,' a collaboration with BigXthaPlug and Jay Jones, opens at No. 8. He's also landed an even dozen champions thus far.

Andrea Bocelli Charts One Of The Biggest Hip-Hop Songs In America
Andrea Bocelli debuts on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for the first time with 'Maria,' a ... More Lil Wayne and Wyclef Jean track that samples his 'Ave Maria.' SEVILLE, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 16: Andrea Bocelli performs onstage during The 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 16, 2023 in Seville, Spain. (Photo byfor Latin Recording Academy) Andrea Bocelli is a fixture on a handful of Billboard rankings, as his name can almost always be found on several classical-focused lists. The superstar performer is considered one of the most celebrated voices in history, and his fanbase remains massive, even after decades in the spotlight. Bocelli's musical output has primarily focused on just a few styles, but this week, he scores a rare hit song in America, one that takes him to a Billboard tally that's rather surprising, given his body of work. Andrea Bocelli Joins Lil Wayne and Wyclef Jean On the current edition of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, Bocelli earns his first career appearance. He joins Lil Wayne and Wyclef Jean on "Maria," which launches at No. 46 on the 50-spot ranking of the most consumed tracks in America that fall under the genre labels hip-hop, rap, or R&B. Bocelli is credited as a featured artist on "Maria," even though he didn't record new vocals for the track. Instead, the song contains a sample of the crooner performing the classic "Ave Maria," which plays in the background and forms part of the beat. Lil Wayne and Wyclef Jean Are Not New Bocelli may be brand new to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, but both Wayne and Jean have found their way to this ranking before. Thanks to a slew of new arrivals from tracks featured on his latest album Tha Carter VI – including 'Maria' – Wayne ups his career total placements to 234. Jean has earned just 19 stays on the tally, including multiple entries that appeared when the roster featured 100 spaces instead of the 50 it does these days. Andrea Bocelli Nearly Returns to No. 1 As he earns his first hip-hop hit in America, Bocelli almost returns to No. 1 on a pair of Billboard charts. Duets: 30th Anniversary holds in the runner-up space on both the Classical Albums and Classical Crossover Albums tallies. That collection has already ruled those lists in the past, and it has now spent 33 frames on the two.

Coldplay's Quarter-Century-Old Song Debuts On Several Charts At Once
Coldplay's 2000 track 'Sparks' goes viral and debuts on five Billboard charts, nearly entering the ... More Hot 100 and pushing Parachutes back onto an albums tally. In this image released on December 12, 2024, Coldplay at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards. (Photo by Anna Lee/Penske Media via Getty Images) Coldplay is currently in year four of its Music of the Spheres World Tour. The trek promotes the band's albums Music of the Spheres and Moon Music, which were released in 2021 and 2024, respectively. While the most recent project by the English pop-rock group has vacated charts seemingly everywhere, it's the band itself that still appears on a handful of tallies, including in the United States this week. Coldplay earns a new hit not with something from its most recent full-lengths or a tune being heavily promoted on its tour, but rather with a viral favorite. 'Sparks' Debuts on Five Billboard Charts 'Sparks' debuts on five Billboard charts in the United States this week. The tune largely hits genre-specific rankings, but also manages to approach the all-style, all-encompassing Hot 100, missing out on doing so by just a few spots. Instead, it opens at No. 11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 – which is reserved for those tunes that almost made it to the top list – and it could rise in the coming weeks, giving Coldplay another placement on the competitive tally. Coldplay's New Top 20 Smash 'Sparks' arrives inside the top 20 on the Hot Rock Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts. The tune kicks off its time at No. 13 on the first two lists and at No. 15 on the latter, which blends both rock and alternative music. On the Alternative Streaming Songs chart, 'Sparks' opens at No. 25. Coldplay's Parachutes Returns 'Sparks' was originally released in the summer of 2000, but it was never pushed as a single. As the track's virality on sites like TikTok grows and total consumption increases, Parachutes – the album that features the cut – also returns to one Billboard tally. The full-length, which introduced Coldplay to the world, reappears at No. 50, in last place, on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart.
