Young Nudy’s ‘Peaches & Eggplants’ Springs Into Top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart
Written by djfrosty on September 21, 2023
Young Nudy achieves a milestone feat as his song “Peaches & Eggplants” featuring 21 Savage pushes 14-7 to reach the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The track advances on the list dated Sept. 23 after the release of its remix with Latto and Sexyy Red on Sept. 8. (As the original version of “Peaches & Eggplants” contributes most of the week’s activity, the song’s chart listing is not updated to include Latto and Sexxy Red.)
“Peaches & Eggplants” becomes the East Atlanta, Ga.-native’s second Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs top 10 and matches his prior such hit, 2022’s “Umbrella” with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, for his best career peak on the list. Unlike “Umbrella,” however, an album cut from Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains album that debuted at its peak and spent five weeks on the chart, “Peaches & Eggplants” has steadily worked its way up, cracking the top 10 in its 19th week on the list.
For featured artist 21 Savage, who is also Young Nudy’s cousin, “Peaches & Eggplants” is his 28th visit to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs’ top 10, and his second debut in the region in 2023, following his and Rob49’s supporting spots on Travis Scott’s “Topia Twins,” which launched at No. 10 last month.
In the latest tracking week, Sept. 8 -14, “Peaches & Eggplants” garnered 11.7 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate, up 68% from 7 million in the prior week. The surge powers a 23-6 flight on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, where it captures the week’s Greatest Gainer tag for the biggest increase among the chart’s 25 titles.
In the radio world, the song also registered 11.7 million audience impressions across all formats, a 5% lift compared with the previous frame. On the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, “Peaches & Eggplants” scores another top 10 placement, moving 11-10 thanks to 9.6 million impressions from that format, up 8% in that sector. Plus, the song holds at No. 10 for a third week on Rap Airplay, with a 4% boost in the latest tracking week.
Elsewhere, “Peaches & Eggplants” rallies 11-6 on Hot Rap Songs and 51-33 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.
