Earlier this year, Latto reasserted Hip Hop’s chart dominance by becoming the first rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 in 2023. “Seven,” which dropped in mid-July, made a grand entrance by debuting at No. 1.
According to Billboard, the upbeat, dance floor-friendly song soared to the top spot thanks to 21.9 million streams, 6.4 million in airplay audience, and 153,000 combined digital and CD singles in its opening week.
It marked the first No. 1 single for both Latto and Jung Kook, with the former’s previous best coming in April 2022 with “Big Energy,” which peaked at No. 3.
Latto celebrated the news at the time by posting a photo on Instagram of her pretending to wipe tears from her eyes, along with another of her blowing a kiss to the camera.

“#1,” she captioned the post, which was met with congratulatory comments from Yung Miami, Flo Milli and more.
Beyond Latto and Jung Kook’s personal achievements, “Seven” marked an end to Hip Hop’s lack of a No. 1 single in 2023, after spending the last half-decade as the most popular genre of music in the U.S.
