Production collective Internet Money rallies to its first No. 1 as artists on Billboard’s Rhythmic Songs airplay chart as “Lemonade,” a collaboration with Gunna that also features Don Toliver and NAV, ascends from No. 2 on the list dated Nov. 28. The collaboration reaches the summit thanks to its 6% boost in plays at the radio format in the week ending Nov. 22, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
Internet Money is led by songwriters and producers Nick Mira, 20, and Taz Taylor, 28, who have contributed to a string of pop, R&B and hip-hop hits in recent years. Notably, both men have already claimed No. 1s as producers and writers on the Rhythmic Songs chart. The pair entirely co-produced — and co-wrote, with others — Lil Tecca’s “Ran$om,” which ruled for one week last year, while Mira also produced and co-wrote Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams,” another one-week champ, in 2018.
With both men sporting production and writing credits on “Lemonade,” Mira adds a third Rhythmic Songs No. 1 as a writer and producer, while Taylor nets his second in both capacities.
Gunna, meanwhile, scores his second No. 1 after his featured turn on Chris Brown’s “Heat.” That track reigned for one week in 2018. NAV and Don Toliver each post a first Rhythmic Songs No. 1.
In addition to its Rhythmic Songs coronation, “Lemonade” skips 21-14 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart through a 15% surge to 8.6 million in audience in the week ending Nov. 22. The track also holds at No. 34 on the Pop Songs airplay chart, though it adds 20% in weekly plays at the format.
“Lemonade” appears on Internet Money’s album B4 The Storm, which debuted at No. 6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 in September.
