Travis Scott and Kid Cudi are on cloud nine right now. The bromance between The Scotts is fever-pitch and on Monday, they had a lot more to be ecstatic about.
The Scotts beat Drake to top Billboard Hot 100
Chart data released by Billboard saw The Scotts claim the top spot of the Hot 100 singles chart.
Billboard compiles this chart by collecting radio airplay impressions measured by Nielsen BDS, sales data measured by Nielsen SoundScan (retail and digital) and streaming activity.
The release of The Scotts may have been helped — a lot — by Travis Scott’s Astronomical concert which was held on the hills of the alternative reality game, Fortnite.
This, coupled with radio airplay and streams, was enough to prevent Drake, possible the biggest artist on the planet, from clinching the top spot with Toosie Slide which was conveniently repackaged on his recently released project Dark Lane Demo Tapes.
Above all, we saw just how deep the appreciation Travis Scott and Kid Cudi share for one another. This is how they created to the news.
Megan thee Stallion makes her first Hot 100 Top 5 debut
Another big win from the release of the chart data was attributed to Megan thee Stallion. Her single Savage shot up the Hot 100 chart to occupy the fourth spot.
Interestingly, the remix, which featured Beyoncè was nowhere to be seen on the chart but that may be due to the fact that this version was released on Thursday.
By the sheer popularity of the song, we expect it to make its way up the charts with great ease.
Reacting to the news, Megan thee Stallion penned an emotional letter on Instagram, thanking her Hotties for the unwavering support they’ve shown her in her career which, in case you were wondering, is only in its second year.
