Just when it looked like Bruno Mars’ hit single “That’s What I Like” would never let go of the #1 slot on the Hip Hop & R&B Singles Chart, DJ Khaled arrives with his all-star “I’m The One” behemoth that features Lil Wayne, Justin Bieber, Quavo and Chance The Rapper, to take its place. Other than that, not much has changed in the Top 10 of the charts for the week ending May 4, 2017, as the usual suspects have maintained their positions.
TDE’s SZA makes an appearance on the chart with “Love Galore” featuring Travis Scott, making its debut at #41 and Logic’s “1-800-273-8255” enters the charts at #17 after his album Everybodywas released earlier this month, predicted to move over 250,000 units in its first week.
Additionally, Nicki Minaj’s “No Frauds,” which was supposed to be her big hit following her beef with Remy Ma, slips down the charts by 25%, from #34 to #41.
