Tyler, The Creator Replaces Himself at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart

Tyler, The Creator completes a rare self-replacement at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne evicts “St. Chroma,” featuring Daniel Caesar, from the summit on the list dated Nov. 16.

By knocking his own record from the perch, Tyler, The Creator is the 16th artist in the chart’s 66-year history to achieve a self-replacement, and first since 21 Savage on Dec. 17, 2022. Then, the rapper’s “Rich Flex,” a collaboration with Drake, yielded to his own “Creepin’,” with Metro Boomin and The Weeknd.

“Sticky,” released on Oct. 28, vaults 3-1 to get the gold after its first full tracking week for Billboard’s charts. On the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, it registered 20.9 million official streams, 1,000 sales downloads and 726,000 airplay audience impressions in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 7, according to Luminate. Thanks to the streaming sum, “Sticky” pushes 4-1 to rule the all-genre Streaming Songs chart, and ousts the rapper’s own “St. Chroma” from the top spot.

Elsewhere, “Sticky” skips 3-1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and rolls 14-10 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

With the “Sticky” coronation on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Tyler, The Creator scores his second No. 1 (after “St. Chroma” last week). GloRilla and Sexyy Red each achieve a first leader – the former’s previous career peak was No. 3, for the Cardi B collaboration “Tomorrow 2” in 2022, while the latter’s prior best was a No. 4 result with her and SZA features on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy” last year.

Lil Wayne, meanwhile, secures his 12th No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and becomes the 10th artist to reach a dozen leaders since the chart began in 1958. Let’s review the club:

Artists With the Most No. 1s on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs

“Sticky” is one of five tracks by Tyler, The Creator in the top 10 of this week’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart – a feat he achieves for the second consecutive week. Four tracks – “Sticky,” “St. Chroma” (down 1-2), the Teezo Touchdown-assisted “Darling, I” (4-5) and “Rah Tah Tah” (5-6) – are holdovers, while “Like Him,” featuring Lola Young, leaps 17-8.

All five songs appear on the rapper’s CHROMAKOPIA album, which rules the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts for a second week.
