2022 may have seen rising rapstress Coi Leray have to defend the commercial performance of her debut album, ‘Trendsetter‘ (which peaked at #89 on the Billboard 200), but her efforts on the Billboard Hot 100 haven’t required that energy.

Capturing the second top 40 hit of her career thanks to the Nicki Minaj-assisted ‘Blick Blick,’ the song fared even better on R&B/Hip-Hop charts as it secured her first top 10 placement on the latter tally.

Now, a month after the official release of her latest single, ‘Players,’ the ‘Blick’ beauty looks poised to fire off yet another impressive run on the Hot 100.

Christmas 2022 may be over, but Pop icon Mariah Carey is still unwrapping gifts thanks to her perennial hit, ‘All I Want for Christmas.’

The song, already etched in Billboard Hot 100 history books for making her the only artist to have a #1 hit across four different decades, recently made history when it topped the tally for a fourth time – a triumph that made her the first female act to own three songs that have spent at least 10 weeks at the chart’s summit respectively.

Those history-making wins appear to only be the tip of the iceberg, the refreshed edition of the hit list reveals.

The R&B chanteuse is set to both co-host and perform on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
