March 2017 saw the self-proclaimed Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj dethrone Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin for the Billboard Hot 100 throne. 

Surpassing the R&B legend’s whopping 73 career-long entries on the tally with her three songs ‘No Frauds,’ ‘Changed It,’ and ‘Regret In Your Tears,’ Minaj left Franklin and her nearest competitors – Taylor Swift and Rihanna – in the dust among females [on that particular tally]. The 8 months that followed only cemented the rapstress’s place in history books as she added charting singles with the likes of Jason Derulo, Katy Perry, Yo Gotti, Future, and more to her Hot 100 resume.

Fast forward to this week, the Harajuku Barbie hits another milestone as her contribution to ‘Motorsport,’ her newest tune with rising rapstress Cardi B and hip hop chart-toppers Migos, sees the Grammy-nominated femcee nab another top 20 – a feat that makes her the first female artist in history to enter 80 charting titles on the singles chart.

While Jason Derulo earned yet another platinum plaque courtesy of the Nicki Minaj-enlisted hit, ‘Swalla,’ the song didn’t exactly provide the launching pad he probably wanted for his new album, ‘777,’ as it failed to make an impact on the Hot 100’s top 20 (peaking at #29).

Now, calling on another of the day’s hottest emcees – French Montana – we’re certain pop crooner is hoping his newest single, ‘Tip Toe,’ will find better footing on the charts.  With a lyrical and sonic makeup akin to ‘Swalla,’ the island flavorted cut sees Derulo & Montana join forces to call for the ladies to ‘shake somethin’ while they ‘tip toe.’

Will it be just what he needs to shake up the top 10 on the Hot 100 once more?  Listen inside and tell us:
