'Lara Trump can't sing to save her life, but seems to be OK with embarrassing herself. This family is just the lowest form of life on the planet. We apologize to Tom Petty.' 'Pitch problems aside, Lara Trump's voice is simply unpleasant,' said another. 'Lara Trump's singing may very well knock the earth off its orbit,' said another. 'Lara Trump likely does have talent.

Lil Wayne Hits No. 1 For The First Time On An Unlikely Billboard Chart
Lil Wayne is only a few weeks removed from the release of his latest album, Tha Carter VI. That set arrived in early June and launched at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. As the music from his latest era begins to fade, the celebrated hip-hop superstar returns to several Billboard charts with an unlikely tune — one that sees him score not just another No. 1, but his first champion on a genre tally. Lil Wayne's Country No. 1 Wayne opens at No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart this week. The tally ranks the bestselling country-only tunes across America on digital download storefronts like iTunes and Amazon. He hits the top spot as a featured artist on the remix of Morgan Wallen's 'Miami.' That tune appears on Wallen's latest massive full-length I'm the Problem, and while it was originally a solo cut, the country powerhouse recruited Wayne and fellow rapper Rick Ross to help reinvent the track, turning it into a multi-genre crossover win. Lil Wayne and Rick Ross on the Country Charts Wayne is brand new to the Country Digital Song Sales chart, as is Ross. Both musicians make it to the top spot on their first attempt. The hip-hop heavyweights also open in the runner-up spot on the Country Streaming Songs tally and break into the top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart, where 'Miami' rockets from No. 46 to No. 5. The tune goes from being a completely solo cut to a joint win for all three names. 'Miami' Soars on Multiple Rankings 'Miami' performs so well that it reaches several of Billboard's charts that aren't focused solely on country music. The track reenters the Streaming Songs ranking at No. 9, and now that it belongs to all three stars, Ross collects his sixth top 10 there and Wayne snags his sixteenth. 'Miami' also debuts in the same position — ninth place — on the Digital Song Sales chart thanks to 4,000 pure purchases, according to Luminate. Ross scores an eighth top 10 on the list of the top-selling tunes in the country, while Wayne has now nabbed 38 placements between Nos. 1 and 10 on the tally.

Jelly Roll Charts A New No. 1 With A Special Duet
Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll hit No. 1 on two Billboard charts with 'Hard Fought Hallelujah,' as the ... More duet version becomes the most popular edition in the U.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 15: Jelly Roll attends the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on September 15, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) For several months now, a track titled "Hard Fought Hallelujah" has been one of the most popular in America, as well as one of the biggest Christian hits in quite some time. While it might not have reached the radar of all listeners, millions across the United States have already discovered the Brandon Lake smash. The tune has been charting on Billboard rankings for months, and the genre superstar has recently taken big steps to turn it into a significant, and rare, religious-themed crossover hit. This week, the tune officially becomes a collaboration on every ranking, as the collaborative version is now the most popular. "Hard Fought Hallelujah" is now officially a duet between Lake and Jelly Roll. The updated take on what was once a solo composition was released back in early February, but it wasn't always the most-consumed edition. Billboard typically credits one version of a song on the charts, favoring whichever earns the most consumption. If the solo edition of a track like "Hard Fought Hallelujah" earns more activity, then the streams and sales of a newly released remix — such as the one featuring Jelly — contribute to the title's overall success. But the featured musician doesn't always receive official credit. Jelly is now named on the tune as it arrives on one tally and soars on others. This week, "Hard Fought Hallelujah" debuts at No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, Billboard's ranking of the bestselling country tracks in America. The smash enters in the top spot, giving Lake his first leader and Jelly his third career winner on this list. He first led in April 2023 with "Need a Favor" and returned to the summit alongside Jessie Murph on "Wild Ones" in October of that year. Jelly is surely thrilled to see "Hard Fought Hallelujah" rule the Country Digital Song Sales chart, as quite a few of his previous hits peaked in the runner-up spot. "Son of a Sinner," "Save Me" with Lainey Wilson, "I Am Not Okay," "Lonely Road" with MGK (previously known as Machine Gun Kelly) and "Believe" with Brooks & Dunn all missed the mark by just one space. Jelly has now earned a milestone 15 top 10s out of 20 total appearances on the roster. Lake and Jelly Roll also dominate the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart this week with "Hard Fought Hallelujah." The track rockets from No. 14 to the summit, marking its second stint at No. 1. Luminate reports that sales of the title grew by more than 200% week over week, totaling just under 8,700 copies sold in the U.S. in the last time around. "Hard Fought Hallelujah" is also on the rise across numerous other Billboard charts, as the cross-genre tune is becoming a serious smash in America. It bolts into the top 40 on the Hot 100, settling at No. 40. The tune climbs slightly on the Country Airplay chart, stepping up from No. 60 — where it debuted last week — to No. 56. Meanwhile, it rules the Rock Digital Song Sales chart for a twelfth consecutive frame.

Morgan Wallen Barely Misses Hitting No. 1 On Multiple Billboard Charts
Morgan Wallen is inching closer and closer to the release of what may be the largest album debut of 2025: his upcoming full-length I'm the Problem. He's already produced a slew of hits from a project that isn't even out yet, and which won't be for several weeks. The country superstar dropped a brand new single a little over a week ago, and it's immediately become another smash to add to his ever-expanding list of favorites. 'I Ain't Coming Back,' his latest collaboration with Post Malone, almost returned him to the No. 1 spot on a pair of Billboard rankings. This frame, the tune misses that mark by a single space, becoming another hit — but not a champion. 'I Ain't Coming Back' launches in the runner-up spot on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts. The former list covers all genres and ranks the most-played titles across major platforms such as Tidal, Apple Music, Napster, iHeartRadio, and Spotify. The latter focuses specifically on the top-performing country tracks in terms of digital purchases, with each tune's style defined by Billboard. While Wallen doesn't add to his growing list of leaders this frame, he's previously topped both of these charts. He has now earned four No. 1s on the Streaming Songs tally, which is a significant achievement for a country musician. Two singles from I'm the Problem — the title cut and 'Love Somebody' — each spent one turn at No. 1. His prior team-up with Malone, 'I Had Some Help,' earned two weeks at the summit. 'Last Night,' arguably his biggest smash, ruled the Country Digital Song Sales chart for 19 frames. While it doesn't top every chart this frame, 'I Ain't Coming Back' does manage to conquer one Billboard tally. The cut opens in first place on the latest edition of the Country Streaming Songs chart. It opens at No. 1, earning Wallen his sixteenth leader on that roster and giving Malone his second career chart-topper in the country field. Different tracks block Wallen and Malone from hitting No. 1 on both the Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales lists. On the former, newcomer Alex Warren surges to the summit with 'Ordinary,' which is quickly shaping up to be not just his breakout tune, but one of the hottest hits of 2025. On the Country Digital Song Sales roster, 'Hard Fought Hallelujah,' a duet between Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, reigns. The track had been available for a while as a solo cut, but the addition of Jelly elevates it to the top of this genre-specific list. 'I Ain't Coming Back' debuts on eight Billboard rankings this week. It opens inside the top 10 on all but two of them, and manages to enter that uppermost tier on three of the most important lists published by the company: the Hot 100 (No. 8), Digital Song Sales (No. 4), and, of course, Streaming Songs rosters (No. 2).

Jelly Roll's First Acting Role Produces A New Top 10 Single
Jelly Roll's new single 'Dreams Don't Die' debuts inside the top 10 on two Billboard charts as he ... More becomes a TV actor for the first time. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 15: Jelly Roll attends the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on September 15, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) For much of the past year, Jelly Roll has been hard at work promoting his full-length Beautifully Broken, a project that's already enjoyed a long life on the charts. Even before it arrived, the genre-blurring artist was hyping singles tied to the effort. But now, he's moved on to something new. Jelly returns this week with an exciting release, one that doesn't appear on his most recent album, but rather, was released to celebrate something of a career pivot. The newly-released 'Dreams Don't Die' enters Billboard's tallies this week. The cut opens inside the top 10 on two charts and manages a respectable start on a third. The single kicks off its run at No. 3 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, making it one of the bestselling tracks in the U.S. in its debut frame. On the all-genre Digital Song Sales list, the tune lands at No. 9, marking another top 10 smash on a highly-competitive list that includes tracks from all musical styles. According to Luminate, 'Dreams Don't Die' sold 3,500 copies in its first full frame. While 'Dreams Don't Die' is performing best on the two sales-focused lists, it also makes its way to a third ranking. The track begins its run on the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 35. That placement is a bit further down than on the purchase-only tallies, but it's still a top 40 win. It's clear that the tune's early success is being driven primarily by dedicated fans purchasing it outright. That direct support helped push it onto the Hot Country Songs list — even if it hasn't quite gained major traction via radio and streaming platforms. With 'Dreams Don't Die,' Jelly Roll earns two more top 10 hits to add to his growing list of chart successes. The cut is now his tenth top 10 on the Digital Song Sales chart and his fifteenth on the Country Digital Song Sales ranking. The new single also marks his twentieth placement in total on the Country Digital Song Sales chart and his twenty-second on the overall Digital Song Sales list. 'Dreams Don't Die' wasn't released just to hold fans over between albums. It arrived tied to a special moment in Jelly's career. The tune was unveiled to help promote his brief but buzzed-about cameo on Fire Country, the CBS drama. In the episode, Jelly plays a man whose backstory closely mirrors his own. The character spent time incarcerated and has since turned his life around — a journey that's similar to what the musician himself went through, which he has spoken about openly since becoming a Grammy-nominated star.
