“WAP” logged the most-ever streams in a debut week for a song on the Hot 100, with 93 million American streams
Photo: YouTube There are some hits in this house. “WAP,” the monumental raunch-rap earworm by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week. Now, that was pretty much a given for a song that hit gold in less than a week’s time. What wasn’t a given is that the song also logged the most streams in a debut week for a song on the chart ever, with 93 million American streams.
It’s a decisive record, too — the previous holder, Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings,” logged 85.3 million in February 2019. It’s the biggest streaming week of the year, and 18th-biggest overall, with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” holding that record for a 143 million–stream week in April 2019. With 125,000 downloads also sold , the song also marks the biggest sales week in over a year, since Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie’s “ME!” nabbed 193,000 in May 2019. It’s the fourth No.
