Chart Check: Megan Thee Stallion Makes Highest Solo Hot 100 Debut of Her Career with ‘B.I.T.C.H.’

Published: Tuesday 4th Feb 2020 by Rashad

Despite the chart misstep that was the Normani-assisted ‘Diamonds’ (click here to read more), Megan Thee Stallion‘s proving her shine on the Hot 100’s far from dimmed.

Case in point?  The commercial response to her latest single, ‘B.I.T.C.H.’

Produced by Detroit hitmaker Helluva, the song – which conceptually and sonically interpolates elements from Tupac’s ‘Ratha Be Ya N*gga’ – serves as the lead single from the Houston hottie’s highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘Suga.’ Released January 24, ‘B.I.T.C.H.’ (thanks to a handsome mix of streaming and digital downloads) premiered in the top 40 of this week’s refreshed Hot 100.

In fact, the #31 opening comes as a career milestone for the 24-year-old as it’s her highest solo debut on the tally to date.  As we extend our congratulations, look inside to see where she landed and who joined her on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:

Note:  The Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign-assisted ‘Hot Girl Summer,’ with its #11 debut on the Hot 100 in late 2019, remains Stallion’s highest opening on the chart overall.  As of time reported, ‘B.I.T.C.H.’ has the distinction of being her highest SOLO premiere.
