Lizzo Breaks “Billboard” Record Previously Held By Lauren Hill And Cardi B!
“Don’t run away from what your heart wants. Follow that b*tch to your destiny.” – Lizzo
Congratulations to Lizzo! According to Billboard, “Lizzo lands a fourth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with “Truth Hurts,” making history in the process. With its latest frame on top, the song boasts the longest reign for a rap No. 1 by a female artist unaccompanied by another act in the chart’s history, surpassing Cardi B’s three-week reign with “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” in October 2017. (One other rap No. 1 by a female artist and no accompanying acts has led the list: Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop [That Thing],” for two weeks in 1998.)”
Lizzo posted this pic on Instagram with the caption: “Truth Hurts is officially the longest solo female rap #1 in history. I fell in love with music when I was 9 years old… I know it’s cliche but music was literally my boyfriend. I had no idea our love affair would take me this far. If this lil Lizzo only knew all that she would accomplish when she picked up that flute, or wrote songs in her room, or forced her friends to make girlbands.. it’s just so humbling to know it was all worth it. Don’t run away from what your heart wants. Follow that b*tch to your destiny.”
