Latto The First Rapper To Hit #1 On Billboard Charts In 2023

Latto has reasserted Hip Hop’s chart dominance by becoming the first rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023.

The Atlanta rapper’s “Seven” collaboration with BTS star Jung Kook, which dropped earlier this month, made a grand entrance on this week’s Hot 100 by debuting at No. 1. with 21.9 million streams, 6.4 million in airplay audience and 153,000.

It marks the first No. 1 single for both Latto and Jung Kook, with the former’s previous best coming in April 2022 with “Big Energy,” which peaked at No. 3. She currently has one other song on the Hot 100 with her Cardi B-assisted “Put It On Da Floor Again,” which sits at No. 42.
