It’s official: Desiigner’s “Panda” has toppled Rihanna’s “Work” to become the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. Congratulations to the Brooklyn MC.
The song ends the longest streak (41 weeks) between No. 1 rap songs in over 14 years, as the last “rap” track to top the chart was Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” in July of last year. Desiigner is also the first rapper to top the chart with a debut entry since Iggy Azalea did it with “Fancy” in 2014. The last rap song to hit No. 1 before that was Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” in February of 2013.
