This is Billboard Explains: Metro Boomin’s Journey on the Charts.

In the past decade, Metro has become one of the hottest producers and songwriters in hip-hop. His Hot 100 breakthrough as a producer came with Future’s “Honest,” which hit No. 55 in 2013. Over the next three years, he produced 23 more Hot 100 hits. He earned his first No. 1 on the Hot 100 for his work on Migos and Lil Uzi Vert’s collab “Bad and Boujee,” which topped the chart for three weeks in 2017.

Metro has produced 16 top 10 hits on the Hot 100, including The Weeknd’s “Heartless,” which ruled for one week in 2019, and his collab with Future and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That,” which currently holds the No. 1 spot.

Metro is no stranger to collaborations. The Billboard chart topper worked with some of rap’s biggest artists for some huge albums. In fact, he has seven top 10s on the Billboard 200, including Double or Nothing with Big Sean, which peaked at No. 6 in 2017, Savage Mode II with 21 Savage that reached No. 1 in 2020, and his Heroes and Villains, which topped the chart in 2022. Fun fact: Heroes and Villains went on to claim 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Rap Albums chart, the third most of any album in the chart’s history.

2024 is already starting off strong for Metro. His album with Future, We Don’t Trust You, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and 17 of its songs hit the Hot 100, including “Like That” with Future and Kendrick, earning Metro his first No. 1 as an artist.
