Doja Cat and Queens-bred rapper Nicki Minaj earned the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with their groovy collaboration “Say So (Remix).” The track became both artist’s first No. 1 song, an accolade well overdue to the “Chun Li” rapper.
The competition was close. Houston’s “Hot Girl” linked up with Beyoncé, and the two went bar-for-bar on “Savage (Remix), practically breaking the internet in the process. Hoping for her first No. 1, she came in at No. 2 yet still has plenty to celebrate. Besides being her highest-charting single yet, the “Big Ol Freak” rapper is now a part of a necessary first occurrence.
The four ladies perched atop the popular music ranking created a moment long overdue. For the first time, a female rap duet earned the top spot. Industry-standard shattering milestones reached by efforts from all women continue. In Hip-Hop history, the rise to the top inaugurates two spots on the Hot 100 being held by a pair of female rappers as leading artists simultaneously. The remixes also place four Black women on top at the same time as individually credited talent, another long-delayed landmark.
