Megan Thee Stallion notches her second Hot 100 No. 1, after "Savage," featuring Beyoncé, topped the May 30-dated chart. She is the first artist whose first two Hot 100 leaders have both been all-female collaborations.
42nd No. 1 debut: "WAP" marks the
42nd single to open at No. 1 on the Hot 100, and the first each for
Cardi B and
Megan Thee Stallion.
The song is the seventh to debut atop the Hot 100 in 2020, extending the record for the most in a single year. (Next up, four songs each started at No. 1 in both 2018 and 1995.)
Historic year for female collabs continues: Cardi B and
Megan Thee Stallion combine for the ninth Hot 100 No. 1 credited to two or more women (and no other billed acts), and the fourth this year. Prior to 2020, five such songs had led over 40-plus years.
Here's an updated list of every Hot 100 No. 1 exclusively by multiple women soloists:
