Doja Cat‘s ‘Say So’ has not only proven itself to be her long-awaited breakthrough single, but also an enduring hit.

First clawing its way into the Hot 100’s top 10 in March (her first to do so), the Dr. Luke-produced bop got a boost to the chart’s summit when Rap queen Nicki Minaj added a few bars to the remix.

Taking its first trip outside of the top 10 since arriving in March (landing at #18), look inside to see who joins Cat on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100.
