Yahoo Lifestyle Travis Scott’s ‘4×4’ Is the No. 1 Song in the U.S.
Travis Scott “4×4″ — the Houston rapper’s first original solo release since 2023 — is the No. 1 song in the United States this week. Scott debuted the hard-hitting single during the halftime show at the College Football Playoff National Championship on Jan. 20, and followed up by releasing an action-packed music video that doubled as a Columbia Pictures film spoof.
The song comes after the success of last year’s re-release of “Days Before Rodeo,” which topped the Billboard 200 a decade after its original release. Before that, Scott’s final full-length effort was “Utopia,” which was Scott’s longest-running No. 1 album to date.

The record earned 117,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 30 with a majority of that number coming from its 156 million on-demand official streams. “Debí” recently surpassed two billion streams on Spotify, helping maintain the Puerto Rican artist’s title as the most-streamed artist on Spotify Global for the 29th consecutive day.
