Max B and French Montana have made a triumphant return to the music scene, as their collaborative single “Ever Since U Left Me” ascends to the top of Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart. This marks their first collaborative release since Max B’s release from prison, and the single is making waves across radio stations in the United States.
The track, released under Montana’s Coke Boys label, surged from No. 4 to claim the No. 1 spot on the chart dated March 28, reflecting a 12% increase in airplay compared to the previous week. This impressive leap allowed “Ever Since U Left Me” to dethrone Lil Uzi Vert’s “What You Saying,” which slipped to No. 3. In the meantime, Kehlani’s “Out the Window” climbed to No. 2, benefitting from an increase in plays as well.
“Ever Since U Left Me” is notable not only for its chart success but also for its sampling of KC and the Sunshine Band’s classic hit “That’s the Way (I Like It),” which enjoyed its own run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. With this latest achievement, Max B secures his first No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay and builds on his previous entry with French Montana on “A Lie,” which peaked at No. 34 in 2017.
For Max B, this song represents a significant moment in his career, as it marks one of his first releases following his release from prison in November 2025, where he served a lengthy sentence stemming from a robbery case. Now, he is embracing his newfound freedom and making a powerful statement in the music industry.
French Montana, already a seasoned chart-topper, celebrates his third No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay with this release. His previous hits include “Loyal” featuring Chris Brown and “Unforgettable” with Swae Lee, both of which have left a lasting impact on the charts.
In addition to topping the Rhythmic Airplay chart, “Ever Since U Left Me” is also making strides on other charts, moving up to No. 6 on Rap Airplay and climbing to No. 18 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. This cross-genre appeal highlights the track’s growing popularity and the artists’ ability to resonate with diverse audiences.
