The singer dropped the project in October 2024, months after he began promoting it with several singles, including \u201cI Am Not Okay\u201d and \u201cLiar.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In between collaborations with artists like Shaboozey, Marshmello, Alex Warren and others, Jelly has been busy promoting Beautifully Broken for quite some time, but now it seems he may be ready to move on to the next chapter of his career. Earlier this summer, the Grammy winner dropped \u201cHands Up,\u201d which for the moment is a standalone single, but which may very well front an upcoming album. After more than a month on several country-only tallies, the tune finally makes it to the most important songs ranking in the nation \u2014 but only barely.<\/p>\n<p>Jelly Roll\u2019s New Hit Debuts on the Billboard Hot 100<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GDp3q59ZWZE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GDp3q59ZWZE\" aria-label=\"\u201cHands Up\u201d\">\u201cHands Up\u201d<\/a> debuts on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-100\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hot-100\/\" aria-label=\"Billboard Hot 100\">Billboard Hot 100<\/a> this week.

The single reenters the Digital Song Sales tally at No. 13, just two spaces beneath its all-time high of No. 11. This week marks only the cut\u2019s third frame on the purchase-only list.<\/p>\n<p>The tune is also steady on a pair of country rankings. \u201cHands Up\u201d holds at Nos. 23 and 30 on the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts, respectively. The former focuses on radio spins, while the latter incorporates multiple forms of consumption, including streams, sales and airplay.
