This the first rap No. 1 on the Hot 100 for an unaccompanied female since Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” which spent three weeks on top in Oct. 2017.
Toping the Hot 100 in early September and “Truth Hurts,” spent six consecutive weeks at No. 1 before being dethroned by Travis Scott’s “Highest in the Room,” which slides to No. 6 in its second week on the chart. Lizzo took to Instagram to celebrate this most momentous occasion.
