In today’s musical climate, streaming is very much leading as the main metric mobilizing songs to the top of the charts.
There are, however, a select few releases that buck the trend and ascend on their own accord.
Case in point Latto and her commercial breakthrough ‘Big Energy’ – the success of which has largely been fuelled by radio.
Now, the bouncy has bop has hit a new high; one that sees Latto make history in the process.
This week ‘Energy’ hit #1 on Pop radio.
Beyond being the femcee’s first chart-topper on the tally, it sees her become only the second female in 12 years to reach pole position on the Pop, Rhythmic and Urban radio counts.
The 23-year-old is only the second female rapper to achieve the multi-format feat – with Doja Cat being the first.
In doing so, she joins an elite list of females – such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, and Mariah Carey – to have hit #1 on all three formats.
Notably, Latto linked up with the latter for a remix of ‘Energy’ – which has helped boost the track even more.
Thanks to Diva, Mariah Carey 💅🏾💋
Was a big hit before the remix on radio try again and the original outselling the remix currently on iTunes
The sample was made the most popular by Mariah and the remix just helped send it over the top.

Cardi could never! 🤣
Cardi could and has scored 3 diamond selling singles that’s what she could do
She’s never had a #1 on all 3 formats 🤣 Only Latto, Beyonce, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, and Mariah Carey biiiiiiitch
Congrats Latto! This was destined to be #1
Fat flop
The remix needs a video to get it to number 1 on billboard
That would be the icing on the cake 🎂
