Queen Bey makes quite an impact.
Beyoncé’s remix of J Balvin and Willy William’s “Mi Gente” has skyrocketed up the Billboard Hot 100. After peaking at No. 19, the song jumps from No. 21 to No. 3, thanks to its newly-added guest star. The song marks Queen Bey’s 17th solo top 10, to go along with 10 that she received as part of Destiny’s Child. Meanwhile, it’s Balvin and William’s first top 10.
But “Mi Gente’s” rise couldn’t dethrone Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves).” With its historic third week on top of the Hot 100, Cardi becomes the first unaccompanied female MC to lead the chart for three straight weeks or better. Lauryn Hill, the first unaccompanied female rapper to top the Hot 100, spent two weeks in the peak position with “Doo Wop (That Thing).”
Elsewhere on the chart, Post Malone’s 21 Savage-assisted “rockstar” stays strong at No. 2, Logic’s Alessia Cara and Khalid collaboration holds steady at No. 4, and French Montana’s Swae Lee-assisted “Unforgettable” rounds out the top 10.
