Written by djfrosty on July 26, 2023
Gunna’s “Fukumean” leads Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for the first time, jumping 4-1 on the July 29-dated list.
In the July 14-20 tracking week, “Fukumean” earned 27.4 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, up 16%.
The song leads in its fifth week on the chart. It debuted at No. 5 on the July 1-dated survey (15.2 million streams) and has increased in streams each week since.
“Fukumean” is the first song to rise to No. 1 rather than debuting there since Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma’s “Ella Baila Sola,” which spent its first of two weeks atop the list on the May 6 ranking.
Gunna now boasts two Streaming Songs rulers. The rapper first led in 2018 as a co-lead on “Drip Too Hard” with Lil Baby, making “Fukumean” Gunna’s first fully solo No. 1.
Since “Drip Too Hard,” his best had been a pair of No. 2 peaks: “Lemonade,” a co-lead with Internet Money (2020) and “Pushin P,” a co-lead with Future (2022).
“Fukumean” spends its fourth week at No. 1 on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs and Rap Streaming Songs, now his longest leader on both.
Concurrently, “Fukumean” lifts 7-6, a new peak, on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100. Gunna’s all-time best, “Drip Too Hard,” peaked at No. 4. On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs, he’s No. 1 for a second week.
The song has begun to receive radio airplay, peaking so far at Nos. 17, 25, 32 and 34 on Rap Airplay, Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic Airplay, respectively.
“Fukumean” is from A Gift & a Curse, Gunna’s fourth studio album. It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 dated July 1 and concurrently ranks at No. 9 on the July 29 tally with 40,000 equivalent album units earned to add to its all-time total of 277,000 units.
