To say the ‘Wetter‘ remix of Beyonce‘s ‘Cuff It’ made a splash on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 is quite the understatement.
As reported here, the ‘Renaissance’-housed song was already enjoying an impressive run on the tally thanks to exploding on Tik Tok but its impact was only amplified once the diva dropped its bedroom-ready revamp.
Sending it to a new chart peak, ‘Cuff’ is linked to #6 on the hitlist’s refreshed edition with sales figures that outshine all of her top 10 competitors combined.
Details inside.
As previously reported, the updated Hot 100 reveals ‘Cuff It’ bested its prior #10 peak by sailing to #6. Here are the numbers that fueled its jump.
- Streams: 9.4 million U.S.-based streams
- Digital Downloads: 78,000 copies sold
- Radio Airplay: 55.8 million audience impressions
While the radio airplay and streams were nothing to shake a stick at, the standout figure is attached to the tune’s pure sales (digital downloads). For context, the week’s sales sums attached to the other nine songs in the top 10 equaled approximately 76,300 combined while ‘Cuff It’ managed to ship 78,000 copies off digital shelves.
The win also planted the 41-year-old at #1 on the week’s Digital Song Sales chart, marking her 11th reign there. The only women to have collected as many or more #1s on that chart are Taylor Swift (25), Rihanna (14), Nicki Minaj (12), and Katy Perry (11).
The supercharged sales are not only attributed to the range of remixes available for purchase but also the buzz earned from the GRAMMYs (February 5) that saw the mega diva make history when ‘Cuff’ won Best R&B Song at the ceremony.
