Hitkidd and GloRilla each achieve their first No. 1 on a Billboard chart as “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” ascends to the top of the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart dated Aug. 20. The single advances from No. 3 after an 8% gain in weekly spins to become the most played song on U.S. monitored R&B/hip-hop stations in the week ending Aug. 14, according to Luminate.
In addition to bringing each of its credited acts – producer Anthony “Hitkidd” Holmes, Jr. and rapper Gloria “GloRilla” Woods – a first chart-topper, the new champ also secures the first leader for label Blac Noize! The label, which launched in 2020, recently announced a partnership with Big Machine Label Group to promote R&B and hip-hop artists.
The independent “F.N.F.” first made waves through social media and streaming, and received a significant boost when Megan Thee Stallion helped raise the song’s profile after clips of her dancing to the then-budding hit generated millions of views in May. The superstar rapper and budding acts share another link, as Hitkidd serves as a co-producer on Megan Thee Stallion’s single “Pressurelicious,” featuring Future, released last month.
Elsewhere, “F.N.F.” climbs 5-3 to a new peak on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. The track improved 8% in weekly format audience to 17.8 million. On Rap Airplay, it moves 5-4 after a 12% audience boost, and the increase secures the track the week’s Greatest Gainer honor. Reception is also building on Rhythmic Airplay, where “F.N.F.” rises 17-14 following a 28% surge in plays in the latest tracking week.
Gains across the radio formats push “F.N.F.” 34-27 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart (34-27). There, it adds 19% more audience to reach 22.4 million in the week ending Aug. 12.
