Gunna Becomes 25th Artist to Chart 100 Hot 100 Hits, Thanks to ‘Pop It’

He’s the fourth artist to reach the milestone this year.

Gunna, the rapper, has achieved a milestone, joining an exclusive club of 25 artists to chart 100 Hot 100 hits on the Billboard charts. His song "Pop It" debuted at No. 55 on October 24 and entered the Hot 100 after its release on October 9 through Atlantic Records. The track was supported by a music video starring tennis player Coco Gauff and received strong initial radio airplay and streaming numbers.

With 4.7 million radio airplay audience impressions and 4.6 million U.S. streams in the week of October 9-15, "Pop It" has been gaining traction rapidly. The song serves as the lead single from Gunna's upcoming seventh studio album, Splurge. Gunna's ascent to this achievement began over a decade ago when he appeared as a featured artist on Young Thug's "Floyd Mayweather" in 2016.

He earned his first Hot 100 entry in 2018 and has since released several top 10 hits, including "Drip Too Hard" and "Fukumean." Gunna is now the 25th artist to achieve 100 Hot 100 entries, following in the footsteps of Drake, Taylor Swift, and Future.
