Hot 100: RAYE’s ‘Where Is My Husband’ Becomes Her First Solo-Charting Hit Ever

RAYE may be no stranger to seeing her name printed once or twice on the Billboard Hot 100, but this week brought with it a first for the British songbird thanks to her latest single ‘Where Is My Husband?‘

Released September 19, ‘Husband’ walked down the Billboard Hot 100 aisle for the first time this week. Here are the numbers that powered its #90 placement.

Streaming ≈ 4.9 million U.S.-based streams

Sales ≈ 600 digital downloads

Radio Airplay ≈ 300,000 audience impressions

Produced by Mike Sabath, the horn-heavy cut entered this week’s Hot 100 as the third highest-debuting song among female hitmakers (bested only by Tate McRae‘s ‘Tit for Tat’ and Doja Cat‘s ‘Gorgeous‘).

Uniquely, it comes as RAYE’s first charting hit to lack accompaniment as her two previous Hot 100 entries – ‘Escapism‘ (with 070 Shake) and ‘Born Again‘ (with LISA and Doja Cat) – both boasted features.

Released September 19, ‘Husband’ is billed as the lead single to RAYE’s second studio album (the follow-up to 2023’s ‘My 21st Century Blues‘).
