Jay-Z and Kanye West have lodged their first top 10 single from Watch the Throne with “Ni**as in Paris,” which rises from No. 15 to 8 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The track was also honored as a Digital Gainer this week, launching from No. 17 to 5 on the Digital Songs chart with 113,000 units sold. Additionally, “Paris” sits at No. 11 on the Radio Songs chart and spends its sixth week at No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
The accomplishment pushes Jay-Z to the top of the rapper heap, earning him his 18th Hot 100 top 10. Comparatively, Lil Wayne and Ludacris have lodged 17 top 10 singles, while West has scored 14.

WEEZY SHOULD HAVE 100 HITS, HE IS WAY BETTER THAN GAY Z
is that why he used to claim jay z was his favorite rapper and he used tons of his lines?
true he says it himself “they say i rap like big jay tupac andre 300 where is erika badu at” haha weezy a cocksucka
DRAKE HAS 17 HITS….WHY AINT THAT UP HERE….LOVE THAT NIGGA….MAKES MY ASS HURT THINKING ABOUT IT
THAT SHIT…GAY
It’s Top 10 hits on the Hot 100, and Drake has 9 of those. That’s why he’s not up there.
Well deserved, good for them
Definitely well deserved, wish it would go all the way up to #1, it’s good to see them commercially succeed with an actual “Rap Song” with no BrunoMars/Rihanna hook or poppy beat
well said
Now that you’ve pointed that out, I’ve how that hasn’t happened in a while.
*skeet* OMG I JUST EJACULATED ON MY PHONE FROM JERKING OFF TO THE THOUGHT OF JAYZ MAKING YET ANOTHER POWER MOVE!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS GUY 😉
old news it was already #1 lol
it was #1 on rnb/hiphop, now it’s #8 on top 100. maybe now you’ll understand while laugh at u for not reading carefully.
maybe you will learn to spell one day. regardless i’m right and your wrong.
smh. what did i spell wrong? or did i forget WE between while and laugh?
it’s #8 on top100, a chart that has all types of music, so it means more than just the separate rnb/hiphop category. i’m saying the same thing the article is saying. wanna keep going because you think you’re too good to be wrong? it isn’t old news because the charting is NEW.
That’s awesome!!! The song with the word “Nigga” in it hits the top ten!!!
fuk you camal face n*gga

Still don’t understand why they don’t do a video for this song. They don’t have a radio-friendly single, respect for that. But that doesn’t mean they should not shoot videos. It’s the same like with MBDTF. MBDTF had the epic Runaway and the All of The Lights video but apart of it? Monster video was released like half a year after the album dropped. Power only had a 2 min video. Bet Kanye would make more money (and had more artistic success) if he did more videos.
Agree 100%. Not to mention he’d have more chart success as well.
Nice chain Kanye…. straight satanic… now how you Kanye loveers going to defend that one
Like this: YOU ARE A FAGGOT.
Been waiting on this interview for a minute…this kid tef is kinda dope

Watch the Throne was clearly the best album of the year simply because it took such a risk musically. The carter IV was a serious let down dats why u hear “Niggaz In Paris” more than “She Will”.
TOOK THEM WACK NIGGAS LONG ENOUGH!!! FUCK A SLAVE-Z!!!! YOUNG MOOOOOLAH TILL I DIE NIGGA!!
Ok, but they don’t know who you are…. if you died, they wouldn’t be aware of it.
I really never understood why nobodies on the internet always act like they’re part of crews in the rap industry. Shit sounds fucking retarded.
WEEZY DID THAT WITH SHE WILL THE FIRST WEEK!!! HAHA!! GAY-Z & THAT OTHER NIGGA CAN WATCH THE THRONE WHILE WAYNE IS ALREADY SITTIN IN IT!!
