Brandy & Monica‘s 1998 hit, ‘The Boy is Mine,’ is credited as one of the most successful songs in Billboard history.
Though most widely celebrated for being the longest-running all-female #1 hit in the Hot 100’s 63-year history, the Rodney Jerkins-produced tune is actually the owner of several Billboard records.
Before this week, one of those titles was ‘longest-running all-female top 10’ hit. Thanks to the ongoing success of Doja Cat & SZA‘s ‘Kiss Me More,’ however, that’s no longer the case.
Details inside:
After an April debut in the Hot 100’s top 10, ‘Kiss Me More,’ the first official single from Cat’s tertiary album ‘Planet Her,’ puckered up for a 19th week in the chart region.
As a result, the Yeti Beats-produced bop now owns the record for longest-running all-female top 10 hit – besting Bran & Mo’s grip on the title by just 1-week.
