Detractors who thought Saweetie‘s 2x Platinum breakthrough hit, ‘My Type,’ would be the last time the rising rapstress saw her name typed in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40 were sadly mistaken.

The updated chart reveals ‘Tap In,’ the lead single from her forthcoming debut album ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ has tapped into the #31 spot on the tally – cracking the top 40 for the first time since its June 17-premiere.

At one point struggling to find footing on the hit list, ‘Tap’ – which features a prominent sample of Too $hort hit ‘Blow the Whistle’ – blew into the top 40 on the wings of a viral Tik Tok dance challenge.  Later calling on the likes of DaBaby, Jack Harlow, and Post Malone to assist with the tune’s remix (which can by heard by clicking here), ‘Tap’ stands to rise to even higher Hot 100 heights next week.

In addition to gracing headlines and magazine covers aplenty for being one of Rap music’s most promising breakout stars, ‘My Type’ maestra Saweetie has already seen her name typed alongside Platinum certifications by the RIAA and as a tenant of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s upper rungs.

Having made history for being one of ten female rappers to score a top 30 hit over the last decade, her entry into the exclusive club (which also includes Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, City Girls, Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, Young M.A., M.I.A., and Megan Thee Stallion) is just the tip of the iceberg, the rapstress (born Diamonté Qiava Valentin Harper) told That Grape Juice in an exclusive interview.
