The second iteration of the highly regarded Top Gabb Music Songs chart has brought about a significant change with a new No. 1. KSI‘s “Thick of It,” featuring Trippie Redd, has ascended to the top spot, becoming the most-played song on Gabb Wireless phones and tablets during November 2024. This remarkable feat showcases the popularity and influence of this particular musical offering within the Gabb Music ecosystem.

Billboard's Partnership with Gabb Wireless

Billboard has joined forces with Gabb Wireless, a dedicated phone company for kids and teens. This partnership has led to the creation of a monthly chart that tracks on-demand streams through the Gabb Music platform. The Gabb Music catalog is extensive, carefully curated by the Gabb team to ensure that only kid- and teen-appropriate content is included. It's important to note that Gabb Music streams do not currently impact any other Billboard charts, highlighting the uniqueness of this chart in the music industry.

Initial Performance and Continued Success

“Thick of It,” which was released on Oct. 3, initially debuted at No. 3 on the inaugural Top Gabb Music Songs list. As the most recently released song in the top 10, it maintained this distinction in the November 2024 survey. However, it's interesting to note that it isn't the newest song on the 25-position chart. This shows the staying power and appeal of the song over time. The song has also achieved a notable peak at No. 64 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating its broader reach and impact.

Hip-Hop Dominance in the Chart

The Top Gabb Music Songs top 10 is dominated by hip-hop, with half of the region coming from rappers. Drake’s “God’s Plan,” which held the No. 1 position on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks in 2018, makes its entrance at No. 4 on the Gabb Music chart. Travis Scott’s “Butterfly Effect” at No. 6 (No. 50 on the Hot 100 in 2018) and Juice WRLD’s “Face 2 Face” at No. 8 (No. 92 on the Hot 100 in 2022) also make their debuts, highlighting the continued influence of hip-hop in the music landscape. NF’s “Let You Down” remains in the top 10 for a second straight month, falling from 5 to 7, further emphasizing the stability of certain songs in the chart.

Other Notable Entries

Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” which reigned atop the first Top Gabb Music Songs list, slips to No. 2 on the November tally. However, Boone achieves a new distinction as he becomes the first act with two songs in the top three. “Slow It Down” zooms from 9 to 3 in its second month, reaching a new height. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” and Imagine Dragons’ “Bones” make their first appearance in the top 10, with “Deja Vu” shooting from 15 to 9 and “Bones” jumping from 16 to 10. These entries add to the diversity and excitement of the chart.

New Debuts and Holiday Music

Top Gabb Music Songs saw the highest debut of the month by a song released in 2024 with Maddox Batson’s “X’s” starting at No. 14. It holds the second-highest position among country songs on the tally, following Luke Combs‘ “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” at No. 5. The 14-year-old Warner signee’s song was released in September. Additionally, holiday music has made its mark as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” bows at No. 15, and the newest song to grace the survey, ROSE and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” (released Oct. 18), starts at No. 24.See the full top 25 below:1. “Thick of It,” KSI feat.
