Unboxed on June 23, the track – which is built around a sample of ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua (who are also credited on the track) – has premiered at #7 on the Hot 100.
It managed the feat by racking up the following first-week stats:
- 16.2 million streams
- 4.7 million in radio reach
- 37,000 digital downloads
‘Barbie World’ becomes Minaj’s 23rd top 10 on the Hot 100 and Ice Spice’s fourth. It also notably serves as Aqua’s second (following the same #7 spot ‘Barbie Girl’ reached in 1997).
The win comes ahead of the July 21 release of the ‘Barbie’ movie and its accompanying soundtrack. It also comes on the heels of Minaj announcing her new album ‘Pink Friday 2’ and its revised release date of November 17.
