The surge in purchases over the holiday season resulted in the top 29 songs on the R&B/Hip Hop singles chart all experiencing sizable increases in sales this week. Within the Top 10, Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” jumps back to #1 while Migos’ “Bad And Boujee” lands at #2. Gucci Mane’s “Both” serves as the only song within the top 42 to experience a decrease in sales.

The cut, which features Gucci Mane, experienced an impressive 120% increase in week-on-week sales, largely down to surge in purchases over the holiday season.
