Country music singer Jelly Roll earned his twenty-second career placement on the Billboard Hot 100 as his standalone single “Hands Up” debuted at No. 100 on the tally, according to Billboard data published this week. The track marks the artist’s lowest-peaking entry on the mainstream songs ranking, which measures overall popularity using a combination of sales, streams, and radio airplay.
Jelly Roll Lands New Track at No. 100 After Weeks on Country Charts
According to Billboard reporting, “Hands Up” reached the Hot 100 after spending more than a month on several genre-specific tallies. The single previously held positions on country-only lists before breaking into the all-genre ranking in absolute last place. Jelly Roll released the track earlier in the summer as a standalone project following the promotion of his tenth solo studio album, Beautifully Broken, which dropped in October 2024.
Despite releasing multiple singles from that record—such as the radio hits “I Am Not Okay” and “Liar”—the Grammy-winning artist has yet to break into the top 10 of the Hot 100. Billboard data shows his closest approach remains “Need a Favor,” which peaked at No. 13.
Tracking Lowest-Peaking Debuts on the Billboard Hot 100
With its arrival at No. 100, “Hands Up” breaks a previous record held by the singer’s collaboration with Joyner Lucas, “Best for Me.” According to Billboard chart history, that track debuted at No. 93 in April 2024 and never climbed higher, making it the artist’s lowest-performing entry until this week.
Chart Comparison:
- “Hands Up” (New Entry): Debuted at No. 100 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- “Best for Me” (Previous Low): Debuted at No. 93 in April 2024.
- “Need a Favor” (Career High): Peaked as high as No. 13 on the same chart.
Simultaneous Placements Across Digital Sales and Country Airplay
While the track barely secured a spot on the main streaming and airplay list, “Hands Up” performed stronger across other Billboard metrics. According to Billboard, the single reentered the Digital Song Sales tally at No. 13 during its third frame on the purchase-only list, sitting just two spaces below its all-time high of No. 11.
The song also maintained steady footing on genre-specific surveys. Billboard data confirms “Hands Up” held at No. 23 on the Country Airplay chart, which measures radio spins, and No. 30 on the Hot Country Songs ranking, which combines streaming, sales, and airplay data.
Seven Tracks Launch on the Mainstream Songs Ranking
“Hands Up” stood as one of seven tracks making their first appearance on the Hot 100 this week. According to Billboard, Jelly Roll claimed the lowest-ranking debut, while fellow country artist Morgan Wallen secured the higher end of the new arrivals with “Been By Now,” which launched at No. 2 behind Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.”
