‘Cuff It’, which has peaked within the top 10 in multiple markets across the globe, has experienced quite the chart trajectory on home soil.
Premiering at #13 last August alongside the arrival of its parent LP, ‘Cuff It’ went on to go all sorts of viral on TikTok and maintained a pronounced omnipresence on the Hot 100 over several months as a result.
Following on the heels of ‘Renaissance’s chart-topping lead release ‘Break My Soul,’ ‘Cuff It’s win this week sees Beyonce score (at least) two top 10s from the same album for the first time since 2008’s ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’ project. That LP yielded: ‘Single Ladies’ (#1), ‘If I Were A Boy’ (#3), ‘Halo’ (#5), and ‘Sweet Dreams’ (#10).
In the years that followed, Queen Bey ascended to higher heights by innovating as a visual artist and prioritized producing game-changing, critically-acclaimed bodies of work such as 2013’s ‘Beyonce’ and its follow-up ‘Lemonade.’ Both of which delivered unquestionable Hot 100 hits (including top 10s), but boasted a clear focus on the overall package.
With ‘Break My Soul’ and now ‘Cuff It,’ music’s reigning royal reminds that she’s still a formidable force on BOTH the single and album charts.
