2022 is proving itself to be quite the year for Rap icon Snoop Dogg.
As if kicking it off as part of a historic headlining Hip-Hop collective at this year’s Super Bowl wasn’t enough (as we reported here), the 50-year-old unveiled his own cereal – Snoop Loopz – and announced his attachment to multiple TV ventures including hosting duties for NBC’s ‘American Song Contest’ as well as Peacock’s ‘So Dumb It’s Criminal.’
Never losing sight of his first love (music), Dogg continues to chase record-breaking stats in the entertainment genre – most recently landing the 12th top 10 hit of his career.
Hop inside to see how the arrival came as a career milestone for the legendary emcee.
‘Bad Decisions,’ the new BTS and Snoop-assisted single from producer extraordinaire Benny Blanco, landed at #10 on the refreshed Hot 100.
Billboard reports:
“’Bad Decisions’ roars in at No. 10, with 10.1 million streams, 3.1 million in radio reach and 66,000 sold (45,000 digital downloads; 16,000 sold on CD; and 5,000 sold on cassette) in its first week, following its Aug. 5 arrival.”
Its premiere came as quite the achievement for all parties involved, especially Snoop as it makes him the second rapper in history to nab a top 10 hit in each of the last four decades (20s, 10s, 00s, and, 90s). JAY-Z was the first emcee to boast the feat. What’s more, the top 10 opening of ‘Bad’ – Snoop’s first as a leader since 2012 – means Snoop has surpassed JAY and is now the rapper with the longest span between his first and last top 10 hit (Dec. 25, 1993-Aug. 20, 2022).
Among all acts, Mariah Carey and Beyoncé are the only other two performers to be attached to top 10 hits over each of the last four decades. While Bey first landed in the chart’s top 10 as part of Destiny’s Child in the 90’s, she’s nabbed 20 placements by her lonesome in the chart territory since beginning her solo career in 2002. At writing, she sits at #1 with her latest hit single ‘Break My Soul.’
Carey claims 28 top 10 hits to her credit, including the perennially resurgent “All I Want for Christmas” which made her the first act to have a Hot 100 #1 hit in each of the last four decades.

LOL BUT MARIAH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T NEED TO C*** HOP ON SOMEBODY ELSE’S HIT THO LMAOOOOOO
WHERE’S THE POST ABOUT THAT FLOPPED HORSE SELLING LESS THAN MEGAN THIS WEEK LMAOOOOO
Biitch stfu…did Megan thee stallion sell 332k first week 190k pure? NO.. Yall haters will say anything to discredit Beyonce.
Thing is… that all y’all talked a bunch.. And STILL call Adele a flop this era…. But here comes Beyonce who manages to scrape together 500000 sales in over a month… And all of a sudden shes the best at it… It’s all rainbows and lollipops for that flop…. Yet Adele OUTSOLD every artist in the top 40 of every week FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR COMBINED of 2021…. And she did that all in the last 2 months of the year…. But Beyonce scraping up 500000 is a milestone, eh????
Lol u been upset all week. Seems you’re growing evermore impatient as you wait for the RENASSAINCE MOVIE to drop. What’s your fav song om renaissance? You did help the album go #1 currently outselling Q**** and Anti social. 😂
Beyoncé should not be added, destiny child & Beyoncé are to different acts
Beyoncé has top tens in 3 consecutive decades & destiny child have them in two
Chile Beyonce is Destiny’s child lol
But she’s not. At least 10 other girls were in that group at 1 time or another!
She is!!! She was the lead singer and the face of the group no matter how many other girls were in the group.. that’s evident by the other girls solo success!!
Beyonce has 28 Grammy’s. If she wasn’t DC then she would only have 25 Grammy’s.
Big thank you to BTS, wouldn’t be a success without the band and their Army
Nicki could never
THAT BLACK POWER WON’T LET UP MOTHERFUCKERSSSS 😈😈😈😈😈😈
Not true. More likely Thanks to BTS! Asian power!
WelCUM Back Bae!!! 😘
@J
REAL power is having the longest running #1 album of all-time on the Billboard 200 AFTER being cancelled #MORGAN WALLEN #DANGEROUS
Now THAT’S power, mútháfúćka. A whole KO 🥊
It hasn’t left the Top 5 for the last 19 MONTHS and is currently sitting pretty at #4 as we speak. It was still #2 just a couple of weeks back. Y’all thought you could cancel a REAL talent with a CLASSIC-upon-arrival album of 30 songs without a single skip.
Better luck next time.
All those weeks and that album still isn’t the best selling of ALL TIME??
Flop, lol
You act like he’s the only artist setting Billboard records. Nowadays that’s a dime a dozen sweetheart. That’s NOT power in 2022.
Because you’re going to sell 50 million copies in 19 months… That’s impossible so sit down, Old Teabag.
You’re the one here bragging about his so called POWER.
“J” mentioned Black Power and you used Morgan as ur defense. You could have easily chosen a better White Knight.
No shade…
And I meant what I said. Who else has that kind of staying power in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200? Show me. And if I’m wrong, then I’m wrong.
But the point is…”staying Power” has been obtainable. It’s NOT something reserved for the so called ppl who you deem POWERFUL.
Staying power IS power. And if it’s so obtainable, I just asked you to show me, and you didn’t, you just replied with some jibberish like you always do when you get stuck.
What you need to focus on dear are the SALES. Has his album been certified DIAMOND?? What about the singles coming off the album?? What are numbers??
I see no point in bragging about staying power when all you have to show is dime a dozen BILLBOARD Record.
Drake recently broke a Beatles Billboard along with other Billboard records all in the same week.
If it keeps the amount of momentum it already has thus far, then yes, of course it will eventually be certified Diamond. Stop playing the fool.
His album was at 2M in 2021 and that’s after the CONTROVERSY.
All I can say is he really good at featuring
Mariah write her own songs, Beyoncé is not at the level. She only had hits thanks to others.
Anything Snoop hops on is Fire! His ability to transcend from the 90s early up to NOW is commendable! Give the guy his flowers!
