Per Billboard, as relayed by both Beasley Media outlets, "Burn," the Ava Max collaboration, now sits highest of any album track on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 14.

That makes a pop singer's feature the centerpiece of the Dallas rapper's chart moment, a genuinely surprising turn for a hip-hop fan tracking the project.

According to the Billboard data both outlets cite, "Burn" jumped from No. 27 to No. 14 and captured both Sales Gainer and Streaming Gainer for the week — meaning the track made the biggest upward moves in both sales and streaming of any song on that chart.

Winning both flags simultaneously is the kind of combined surge that typically signals a track still climbing rather than settling, which is why the leaping duet — not the album's debut itself — is the development hip-hop watchers are now talking about.

Streams put 10 album tracks on the 50-spot Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, so the Ava Max duet is leading a crowded field of songs from the same record.

The numbers grounding this run are substantial. The Hype Magazine, cited by both outlets, reported 39 million global first-week streams, 33 million of them from the U.S., and a No. 1 on the Independent Albums chart.

Those streaming totals are exactly what fuels the per-song chart placements, and they explain why a single feature could leap eleven spots in one week.

*Better Over Time* also opened at No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, a new career high, and No. 7 on the Billboard 200, matching the peak of 2025's *I Hope You're Happy* — a step up from *Take Care* debuting at No. 3 in 2024, per Billboard as both outlets report.

Billboard noted the Dallas rapper born Xavier Landum earned the Top Rap Albums No. 1 with his fourth chart entry.

With a guest list spanning Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, GloRilla, Leon Thomas, BabyFace Ray, Belly Gang Kushington and more, the question now is whether "Burn" keeps climbing toward the upper reaches of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as the album's pop-rap calling card.
