The same week Ciara made headlines for giving birth to her fourth child she was also delivered news her latest hit, ‘How We Roll,’ had rolled to a new height on the Billboard charts.
Details inside.
As previously reported, the Chris Brown-assisted ‘Roll’ has quietly become Cici’s biggest hit over the last decade.
Despite a modest opening on R&B charts in August upon its release, the slow-burning tune found its footing on radio in the weeks that followed and eventually soared to the top 20 of the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts respectively by the end of November.
For context, these tallies rank the most-played R&B and Hip-Hop songs played on Urban and Urban Adult stations in the United States.
The refreshed edition of the former tally now shows the Deli Banger-produced bop comfortably at #9 – the highest position Ciara’s reached on it since 2015’s ‘I Bet’ bolted to a #7 peak. There, it’s become her 15th top 10 hit.
Faring even better on the updated version of the latter hitlist, ‘Roll’ has jetted to #6. The rung is the highest she’s touched on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay since 2013’s ‘Body Party’ danced its way to #1 for 3 weeks. There, ‘Roll’ has become her 15th top 10 hit as well.
Bolstered by a Lil Wayne-assisted remix, Ci’s latest hit has also enjoyed gains on streaming platforms – so much so we could see the cut crack the Hot 100 after the rush of holiday tunes dissipates.
