It looks like Latto‘s hit the jackpot with her new single, ‘Big Energy,’ and this week’s winning numbers are 38.

The Dr. Luke-produced bop, which prominently samples Tom Tom Club‘s 80’s hit ‘Genius of Love’ (also found aboard Mariah Carey‘s timeless classic ‘Fantasy’), was already a standout in the rapper’s growing discography when it entered the Hot 100 as her highest debut yet (as we reported here).

Reaching an even higher Hot 100 height this week, ‘Big’ made a big splash in the chart’s top 40 – not only marking her highest placement to date (at #38) but also the first time Latto’s seen her name printed in the hit list’s upper half.

Look inside to see who joins her on this week’s TGJ Chart Check.
