No Rap Songs In Billboard Hot 100
Top 40 For 1st Time Since 1990 As Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s “Luther” Exits Chart

For the first time in 35 years, the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 features zero rap songs following the exit of #KendrickLamar and #SZA’s song “Luther.”

The departure comes after #Billboard implemented a rule change that altered its retention criteria: songs must now hit certain thresholds, such as top 5 within 78 weeks or top 25 within 26 weeks, to remain on the chart. “Luther” dropped off despite finishing at No. 38, because it “failed to reach No. 25 after 26 weeks on the chart.”

The absence of rap in the Top 40 signals a shift in the genre’s commercial standing. Billboard noted this is “the latest sign of a recent dip in rap’s commercial dominance.” While rap tracks still appear lower on the chart, such as #YoungBoyNeverBrokeAgain at No. 44 and #CardiB at No. 48, none currently crack the Top 40.

Reneé Rapp Covers SZA’s ‘Good Days’ for BBC Radio 1: Watch

“Renee is a HUGE inspiration,” SZA said

Reneé Rapp knows how to let her voice loose with an R&B song. On Friday, the singer joined the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and continued the spot’s tradition of surprise covers with a rendition of SZA‘s “Good Days.” Rapp was backed by a pair of soothing acoustic guitars and a harp player.

SZA later shared a clip of Rapp’s performance on Instagram Stories, lauding her fellow artist. “Renee is a HUGE inspiration, energy, voice spirit,” SZA wrote in the caption. Rapp also shared clips from the performance on her own Instagram and from her visit to London.

During her visit with the Live Lounge, Rapp also performed a rendition of “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone” from her album Bite Me, which she dropped on Aug. 1. She spoke to Rolling Stone about making the record over the summer.

“I make music for myself, but I don’t put out music for myself,” she said at the time. “I don’t promote things for myself. If I was just going to do [it all] for myself, I wouldn’t put shit out in the first place. I’d have a different career.”

Rapp and SZA have shared sweet moments in the past. When Rapp said in an interview that people who don’t like Beyoncé “have no taste,” SZA reposted her and wrote, “She got her friggin mind right.”

Trending Stories

Rapp is currently on her fall arena tour celebrating the album, and is scheduled to perform a show Friday night in Los Angeles, before shows in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina through the end of October.
