    Leon Thomas’ ‘Mutt’ Tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart: ‘That’s Bucket List Right There’

    Seven months after its first step onto Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, Leon Thomas‘ “Mutt” is the top dog. “Mutt,” released on EZMNY/Motown/ICLG climbs 2-1 to crown the list dated Aug. 24, securing Thomas his first No. 1 as an artist, after six prior entries as a producer and 13 as a songwriter.

    For its coronation week on the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, “Mutt” registered 8.9 million official streams, 1,000 sales downloads and 49.3 million audience impressions in the United States for the tracking week of Aug. 8-14, according to Luminate. Streams and sales totals were down 4% and 15%, respectively, from the prior tracking week, while radio audience impressions improved 8%, enough to secure the week’s Airplay Gainer distinction.

    “That’s crazy,” Thomas tells Billboard via video on the song’s achievement. “Back in the day, I used to have on my wall, like, a vision board and I had No. 1 on Billboard on my wall. So that’s bucket list right there. That’s a big deal.”

    “Mutt” took the scenic route to its triumph, needing 31 weeks to reach top spot. The climb ties for the sixth-longest trek of 1104 No. 1s. To recap the lengthiest waits to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs summit:

    Weeks to No. 1, Song, Artist, Date Reached No. 1
    43, “Step in the Name of Love,” R. Kelly; Dec. 6, 2003
    36, “Die for You,” The Weeknd & Ariana Grande; March 11, 2023
    35, “All of Me,” John Legend; May 17, 2014
    32, “Needed Me,” Rihanna; Sept. 24, 2016
    32, “Go Crazy,” Chris Brown & Young Thug; Dec. 6, 2020
    31, “You,” Lloyd feat. Lil Wayne; Feb. 17, 2007
    31, “Mutt,” Leon Thomas; Aug. 23, 2025

    In addition to its Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs victory, “Mutt” cruises to an 18th week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart and climbs 20-17 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, where it reached a No. 12 best in June.

    “Mutt,” from Thomas’ album of the same name, gives its creator a triple win as a performer, a co-producer and a co-writer, earning his first Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1 in each capacity. As a producer and writer, Thomas’ prior best result came via SZA’s “Snooze,” which peaked at No. 2 on the chart for 13 nonconsecutive weeks in September 2023 – February 2024.

    Elsewhere, “Mutt” refuses to surrender its radio stranglehold in the R&B/hip-hop realm, posting a ninth week at No. 1 on the plays-based Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart (up 1% for the week) and sixth frame in charge of the audience-based R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay ranking (also up 1%).
