‘Ran$om ’ Notes:
Lil Tecca Lands
First Top 10
L
IL TECCA TALLIES HIS FIRST BILLBOARD HOT 100
top 10 as “Ran$om” roars from No. 19 to No. 10. With
its official video directed by Cole Bennett, the first
Hot 100 entry for the 16-year-old Queens-based rapper
(real name: Tyler Sharpe) continues its sprint up the Streaming
Songs chart, climbing 7-4 with 38.5 million U.S. streams, up 36%,
according to Nielsen Music. The track gains by 59% to 6.1 million
in airplay audience and 50% to 4,000 downloads sold.
It’s also another big week for Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road”
(featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), which spends a record-extending
18th frame atop the Hot 100. A week earlier, it bested “Despacito”
by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee (featuring Justin Bieber) and
“One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, which
ruled for 16 weeks each, in 2017 and 1995-96, respectively.
“Road” remains at the summit with 67.4 million streams,
43.8 million in radio reach and 47,000 sold. A new remix
featuring RM of BTS, “Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road
Remix),” was released July 24, with its first full streaming and
sales tracking week (July 26-Aug. 1) reflected on the latest
survey. The RM collaboration is the fourth official remix of
“Road,” following versions with Cyrus; Diplo; and Young Thug
and Mason Ramsey. —GARY TRUST
