Rae Sremmurd has scored their first number 1 single with “Black Beatles.”
Hats off to Rae Sremmurd! Today, it was announced that the duo’s “Black Beatles” has jumped to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, after spending last week at number 9. The Gucci Mane assisted track has dethroned The Chainsmokers “Closer” – which was number 1 for 12 consecutive weeks.
Upon hearing the exciting news, Swae Lee told Billboard, “You do what you want in this world, and people either love you or hate you for it. Thanks to everyone that stands behind us.” Slim Jxmmi added, “Unlock the swag, shoutout to the fans that supported ‘Black Beatles.”
Thanks to Instagram’s “Mannequin Challenge”, Black Beatles has gone viral, with everyone from Blac Chyna, Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Paul McCartney sharing their own challenge.
Black Beatles producer, Mike Will Made-It, told Billboard, “Black Beatles’ is the best song I have produced so far in my career. The way it came together couldn’t have been more natural, and it’s amazing to see people feel the same way, and gravitate to the record so naturally. For ‘Black Beatles’ to be so true to us and our sound—we weren’t chasing a sound—it solidifies that the world is ready for us and what we have to come.”
