It’s been nearly 6 months since Latto unveiled ‘Big Energy,’ but the Dr. Luke-produced bop is still making BIG moves on the Billboard Hot 100.

Just 5 days after the tune had become the third single of her career certified Gold or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 500,000 copies in the United States, Latto (born Alyssa Stephens) learned ‘Big’ has cracked the Hot 100’s top 20 for the first time.

Planted at #17 on the tally’s refreshed edition, it becomes the first time she’s seen her name printed in the chart territory as a leading act.
