City Girls already sit in the history books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for having the highest-certified song in history by a Rap girl group (‘Act Up’).
But, if the ongoing success of their latest single, ‘Twerkulator,’ is any indication, the Southern duo may be well on their way to tying that record.
More inside:
Despite an early leak, ‘Twerkulator’ – which famously features samples and interpolations of Cajmere‘s ‘Percolator’ and ‘Planet Rock’ by Afrika Bambaataa – was released in May to great fanfare. The excitement was only amplified once the diva duo tapped Missy Elliott to direct the tune’s high octane music video (seen above).
In the short time since, ‘Twerkulator’ has racked up the equivalence of 500,000 in U.S.-based sales – a measure met with a Gold award from the RIAA on Monday (October 18).
Having peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the height of its popularity, the song stands as one of the highest charting hits of their careers to date.

What ? How? This song wasn’t even hot the first week it came out!! I never heard this song b4 in a club .. how long did this song charted on BB100 ??
It’s a sleeper hit, meaning the song wasn’t popular during it’s release but has since became a fan favorite.
As time go on, I believe this song will become more popular than “Act Up” & “Twerk”.
It won’t be more popular than Act Up like ever….
I believe it will be. The fact they sampled an 80’s Hip-Hop song & went GOLD shows how well that sample has aged.
Gold certification, this is what normani stans get excited about
😂😂😂😂
A Gold/Platinum record with little to no airplay definitely say people are seeking out the record, NOT the other way around.
You continue to miss the plot.
This is good for city girls cause they have no hype or industry support or big name feature
Wild side on the other hand has huge industry support, huge radio support from almost all radio formats.
This song is being played non stop on urban radio in the middle of the night when everyone is fast asleep
Wild side also features cardi, the biggest female rapper at the moment.
If u have cardi on ur song, u should be doing 3x platinum after 3 months.
Even the streams for wild side is still stuck at 44 million streams. A whole cardi feature .
This song charted in 6 countries overseas. A whole cardi feature should atleast chart in 10-15 countries.
U keep missing the point cause ur dumb.
Again there is no evidence thus far showing a Cardi B collaboration on a R&B song guaranteeing a hit.
On Pop/Hip-Hop/Trap…Yes.
Here u go again shifting the goal post. Lol
Here u go again blaming the rnb genre and you’re also blaming cardi for wild side flopping.
as of cardi wasnt the main reason the song charted in the first place.
U normani stans, u guys are delusional. Everybody says you guys are delusional.
Its mental illness at this point. Lol
A big name feature is supposed to get u a big hit, it doesnt matter the genre. That is the point of getting a big name feature on a song.
An artist as hot as cardi , should be able to get u sizeable hit not only in America but overseas.
Wild side charted in 5 countries overseas
This is very poor.
A song that was played on pop radio, urban radio, rnb/hip radio.
The song cant even crack 50 million streams.
This song was performed on the vma stage also.
U can twist and turn and move the goal post all u like but the facts are there. And u will deal with it
“A big name feature is supposed to get you a hit”
Not TRUE! Brent Fiyaz recently collobrated with Drake & his single performed even worse than Wild Side.
“Brent Fiyaz”
Who is Brent fiyaz?
Does he have the hype or industry support normani has?
Did pop radio, urban radio and rnb/hiphop radio play his song non stop?
Was him and drake naked in the music video of the song, caressing each other?
Did he perform the song at the VMAs?
Did his song have playlisting on big spotify playlists like wild side?
Did drake promote the song non stop the same way cardi promoted wild side?
Did the song go viral on tiktok just like wild side?
😂😂
Normani stans, u guys are sick in the head. Lol
U thought u did something. Lol
This song with drake doesn’t even have a music video but is charted in 4 countries overseas, 1 country shy of what wild side charted
😂😂
As I said, u are delusional. U are sick in the head. This is how all normani stans are. U can present them with every evidence but they will never agree.
The fact you’re asking who is Brent Faiyaz after a collaboration with Drake defeats ur own argument.
You stated a big name should give you a hit but apparently that is FASLE since you dunno who Brent Faiyaz is.
In another thread you stated Camila made Young Thug “famous” during a time he was virtually unknown, as in having no hype.
Funny how Young Thug still became “famous” with no hype. So ur going to argue Camila has more clout than Drake??
“The fact you’re asking who is Brent Faiyaz ”
He has no name recognition like normani, neither does he have the same amount of industry support or hype normani has.
A big name collaboration is supposed to give u a hit. Lizzo feat. Cardi on rumours that was released some few weeks after wild side
Rumours
Charted 13 countries overseas
60 million streams
😂😂
“In another thread you stated Camila made Young Thug “famous”
I never said that.
Now u have to tell lies cause u have nothing to back up ur argument. 😂😂
Normani stans=mentally sick people
“So ur going to argue Camila has more clout than Drake??”
What does this mean? Lol
Mentall illness.
Ur beating around the Bush, shifting the goal post, making excuses, blaming everyone, making up lies and all for what? Ur still wrong.lol
Lizzo songs are NOT R&B. You only PROVE my point by naming Hip-Hop/Pop/Trap records. I’ve already stated a Cardi collaboration work on those type of records.
And I will continue to state this fact until proven otherwise.
“Lizzo songs are NOT R&B”
Lizzo’s rumours is funk with a rap verse from cardi.
Rnb (wild side) is more popular than funk especially in 2021.
But she still outpeaked and outstreamed and charted in more countries than wild side.
No viral dance challenge on tiktok
No celebrity endorsements
No vma performance
😂😂
U are never gonna agree are u? 😂
Ur a loser. Lol
This is mental illness
“Lizzo songs are NOT R&B.”
😂😂
Rumours is a funk song with a cardi verse.
Funk is even less popular than rnb especially in 2021.
But rumours out charted, outpeaked, outstreamed and charted in more countries overseas than wild side
No viral tiktok dance challenge
No vma performance
No industry support
😂😂
U keep painting ur self in a corner cause u just cant admit it. Lol
Lizzo is POP hence why her music doesn’t get much play on Urban radio.
No, lizzo does everything from rap, to rnb,to pop, to funk, to soul
Rumours was a funk song which is more niche than rnb wild side.
U keep trying and u keep failing, are u not tired? Lol
Labeling Camila a “Superstar” simply because Havana went Diamond is moving the goal post & a much better example of mental Illness.
U pretending as of Havana is her only hit, is mental illness.
Her stats are there.
My girl is has also broken records
Havana- first female lead song to hit 1 billion streams on spotify
Senorita- most streamed song of 2020
Her debut album- number 1 on iTunes in 109 countries
Youngest artist to be number 1 on billboard hot 100, hot 200 and artists 100 simultaneously.
Sounds like a superstar to me.
I cant even mention all her records cause it’s just too much and she has only 2 albums.
😂😂
U are sick in the head. I pity you. Its mental illness.
I have presented u with facts when it comes to Camila sales and chart records , and I didnt even mention her sales in overseas countries, europe, asian, India and latin americas.
😂😂
So you’re going to argue Camila is a Superstar? You’re saying she has brought Innovation to Pop Music or has made a bigger impact than someone like Rihanna?
Comparing Camila to Rihanna? U are dumb
Camila has impact
Havana was a cultural reset.
Senorita was a cultural reset.
I can’t start listing the achievements of these songs cause they are too damn many.
Stats dont lie.
Her impact is global.
She is one of the reasons spotify is what it is today.
Every girl want their Havana moment
Jesy Nelson
Normani
Anitta
Rosalia
Karol g
They all want what Camila has. That is IMPACT.
Chloe bailey
Halle bailey
Madison beer
They all want their Havana moment.
She’s replaceable in absolutely everything from looks to singing, dancing, writing, acting, etc.
Who’s gonna replace Camila?
Olivia rodrigo?
😂😂
Normani is the one that’s about to get replaced by chloe bailey.
Have mercy peaked higher than motivation.
It’s not about taken her spot, she simply follows a formula & nothing more.
What formula does she follow?
😂😂
Lizzo’s Music is POP. Funk Artists are actual Musicians. Does Lizzo have a band? You clearly don’t know anything about Funk Music. Rumors is NOT R&B & has Lizzo rappin’ thus Hip-Hop.
My argument continue to stand until proven otherwise.
“Funk Artists are actual Musicians.”
Damn, u are really dumb.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yes lizzo is not a real musician. Smha
Just because she did 1 song that is in the funk genre doesnt make her a funk artist.
Maren morris did 1 EDM dance song , so does that make her an EDM artist?
As I said earlier, lizzo dabbles in all sorts of genre.
This particular song rumours is funk music.
“Does Lizzo have a band?
Dummy, u dont need to have a band to be a funk singer
Tenna marri was a funk singer with NO band. She was solo.
U are really dumb and ur so proud of it.
“Rumors is NOT R&B & has Lizzo rappin’ thus Hip-Hop.”
“Lizzo’s Music is POP.”
Just look at you, contradicting urself
😂😂
Ur a dumb dumb
Have u even heard rumours? u called what lizzo was doing on this song rapping? hiphop?
U are dumb.
Look at how u have detailed the topic just cause u dont wanna admit wild side is a flop.
😂
Even cardi couldn’t help her
How am I contradicting myself by pointing out various musical elements used in “Rumors”?
Did you not say Lizzo dabbles in different genres? Therefore I can say her song is also Hip-Hop.
You on the other hand cannot say you have retuted arguments. You cannot say whether ur Fav will enjoy a lengthy career. Her glory days may very well be behind her hence you living more so in the past oppose to the NOW.
“How am I contradicting myself by pointing out various musical elements used in “Rumors”?”
U literally said lizzo was rapping on rumours.
😂😂
Rumours is a funk song
It has elements of hiphop because of cardi’s rap verse
The arguement of u saying wild side flopped because its rnb is silly and dumb.
Giveon, sza all had solo rnb songs that did well. No hype, no industry support, no nudity in their videos.
Camila is in her 3rd era.
Normani cant even kickstarter her first era.
RCA records have tried on 4 separate occasions to launch this boring girl into superstardom but all 4 occasions have been failures.
She said she was releasing her album this year , but she cant anymore cause wild side is a flop. Its backs to the drawing board AGAIN for normani.
RCA records will likely drop her next year.
“Did you not say Lizzo dabbles in different genres? Therefore I can say her song is also Hip-Hop.”
Also u
“Lizzo’s Music is POP”
Ur just proving me right.
I did say lizzo’s does different many genres
So u just repeating what I said and agreeing with me
😂😂😂
Ur dumb. Lol
The description for rumours is funk and hiphop (because of cardi’s rap verse)
Lizzo didnt rap on this song unless u dony know what rap music is or hiphop music is
Now back to normani,
This girl has collaborated with every big name in the industry from ariana, nicki, megan, cardi, Calvin Harris, 21 savage but still she hasnt happened.
Several magazine covers, still nobody knows her outside Twitter
Big award show performances, but still her streams are more mediocre than an indie artist
If all this opportunities was given to another black chic , that girl would have blown up long time ago.
Normani is not a star.
She is an imposter.
She looks like a fake manufactured celebrity.
And that’s why nobody connects to her music.
Wild side has been used more than 2 million times on tiktok but nobody bothers to ho to spotify to stream it.
Smh
Where did I label Lizzo a Funk artist? Incorporating elements of Funk into her music doesn’t make her song a Funk song.
Teena Marie’s vocal style is R&B & she recorded Disco/R&B Music. Yes you need an actual band if you’re creating Funk Music.
You have NOT refuted anything I’ve stated.
”
You have NOT refuted anything I’ve stated.”
Nah, I have refuted ur claims.
Ur just dumb but u cant see it.
“Rumors is NOT R&B & has Lizzo rappin’ thus Hip-Hop.”
Look at what ur saying?
Nah ur not stable at all.
Wild side is flop, it has nothing to do with rnb genre and cardi couldn’t help her.
That album she said she was gonna release this year is not coming anymore.
U want the last word, so I will give it to u. Lol
U dont need a band to be funk musician artist.
I have given u a clear a example. Tenna mari
Just say the only funk artists u know are earth wind and fire.
U are a normani stan, so u are not well on the head.
You’ve done nothing, but beat around the Bush, shift the goal post, lie against me, tried to change the top, blame everyone on normani flopping etc.
😂😂
I dont need to refute any argument.
U are just dumb and u dont know anything about music.
Normani is going to happen.
U can push all sorts of lies and conspiracy theories, and blame everyone on why she cant happen but she will NEVER happen.
Camila on the other will continue to enjoy her successful solo career.
U losers have been saying shes over ever since she left 5th harmony back in 2017 but look at her still tracking up hit after hit and breaking records and she has only 2 albums.
😂
These are HARD facts and u deal.
Your opinions are NOT facts, your examples are NOT facts. You haven’t refuted none of my arguments whatsoever.
Still no examples of any R&B songs becoming a major hits with a Cardi B collaboration. A lot of examples of artists who release Pop/Hip-Hop/Trap scoring major hits with a Cardi B tho. Even Kehlani who has worked with Cardi B doesn’t have a major hit & we know why dear.
This is what real FACTS look like. Teena Marie as a vocalist & music is NOT an example of Funk music. It’s however an example of Disco/R&B Music.
James Brown “Doing It To Death” is Funk boo. Chaka Khan/Rufus is a Funk Band.
Once again you have shown no real knowledge or examples of Funk music/Musicians. You’re arguments consist of reaching, grasping for straws & outright deflection. You could never come for me especially when it comes to REAL MUSIC.
You stan bubblegum POP artists, so that alone let’s me know who I’m dealing with here.
I state facts , back up with credible evidence
Unlike yourself, who tells lies, shift goal post, make excuses, push blame, and go of topic, cause u dont have any facts to back up ur argument.
U literally said lizzo was rapping on rumours.
😂😂
U are delusional.
but u will deal.
Wild side is a flop
Normani is not IT no matter how much black Twitter tries to make her happen, she is none event.
No matter the amount of sympathy, pity, victimhood, emotional manipulation etc she will not happen outside the black community. And even the black community will still dump her cause her music is dull and lacks personality.
Camila on the hand will continue to thrive cause her music is so good. She has made an impression on people and that’s why she is still standing even after all the scandals and viral tweets and image bashing on Twitter.
😂😂
Cause good music is good music. and people will always stream good music
And my argument still stands, lol
