Despite being a powerhouse in the world of hip-hop, Young Thug has finally reached an accolade that has eluded him.
According to Billboard, Young Thug scored his first No.1 record on the Billboard Hot 100 after his feature on Camila Cabello’s “Havana” reached the top of the charts this week. The song shot to number one after debuting in August of last year. The video which dropped in October has racked up over 450 million views on YouTube. The breakout out single from the former Fifth Harmony member helped Cabello become the first woman in nearly three years to have her debut album hit No.1.
The song has added to the string of hits Young Thug has created or collaborated on since his song “Stoner” first cracked the charts nearly four years ago. Including “Havana,” Young Thug has racked up 25 entries on the Hot 100. His hit collection includes records “Stoner” and "Pick Up The Phone" with Travis Scott alongside features on Rae Sremmurd's "Throw Sum Mo", Usher's "No Limit”, and Drake's "Sacrifices."
While almost half of Young Thug’s Hot 100 entries debuted in 2017, among his hit songs, the closest Young Thug had made it to the top before "Havana" was when “Lifestyle” with Rich Homie Quan reached No.16 in November of 2014.
