Travis Scott scores his fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart – and first since 2020 – with “Meltdown,” featuring Drake, which debuts atop the Aug. 12-dated tally.
In the July 28-Aug. 3 tracking week, “Meltdown” earned 32.2 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
Scott first led Streaming Songs as a featured artist on Kodak Black’s “Zeze” alongside Offset in 2018. He ruled as a lead artist in 2019 with “Sicko Mode” and “Highest in the Room” and then again in 2020 as part of Kid Cudi collaboration The Scotts on the duo’s eponymous “The Scotts.”
Between “The Scotts” and “Meltdown,” Scott’s top rank had been the No. 3 peak of Drake’s “Fair Trade,” on which he is a featured artist, in 2021, with his best as a lead act being the No. 4 peak of “Escape Plan” that year.
“Meltdown” becomes Drake’s record-extending 17th No. 1 on Streaming Songs, which began in 2013, and his second in 2023, following the one-week reign of “Search & Rescue” in April. Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift are the next closest with six toppers apiece. With five rulers, Scott moves into sole possession of the fourth-most No. 1s all time.

In all, seven songs from Scott’s new album Utopia appear in the top 10 of the Aug. 12-dated Streaming Songs list, with “Meltdown” followed by “FE!N,” featuring Playboi Carti, at No. 2 (25.6 million streams). It’s the most Scott has had in the top 10 simultaneously, surpassing the five he had in the top 10 of the Aug. 18, 2018, chart upon the release of his album Astroworld.
Scott now boasts 28 top 10s overall, placing him fifth all time. Drake leads all acts with 86 top 10s.

Concurrently, as previously reported, “Meltdown” debuts at No. 3 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, while Utopia bows atop the Billboard 200.
