Tyler, the Creator Lands His First Streaming Songs No. 1 With ‘St. Chroma’
Written by djfrosty on November 7, 2024
Tyler, the Creator earns his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart with “St. Chroma,” featuring Daniel Caesar, which debuts atop the Nov. 9-dated ranking.
“St. Chroma,” which was released on Oct. 28, earned 24.3 million official U.S. streams in the tracking week ending Oct. 31, according to Luminate. That means the song was able to reign despite having three fewer days of tracking than the vast majority of its competition.
The rapper’s previous top-performing songs on Streaming Songs, which began in 2013, had been “Earfquake” and “Wusyaname” (the latter featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Ty Dolla $ign), both of which peaked at No. 3 in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
In fact, two songs from Chromakopia, Tyler, the Creator’s new album, top his previous bests. “Noid,” the album’s lone pre-release single (it premiered Oct. 21), appears at No. 2 with 23.2 million streams in its first full frame.
It’s the first time since the Sept. 7-dated Streaming Songs that the same act holds the top two of the chart. Sabrina Carpenter did so with “Taste,” which debuted at No. 1 that week, followed by “Please Please Please” at No. 2.
As for Caesar, “St. Chroma” is the singer’s second No. 1 on Streaming Songs, both coming as a featured act and also as No. 1 debuts; he previously appeared on Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” alongside Giveon, which ruled for a week in 2021.
In all, Tyler, the Creator boasts 13 songs – including five of the top 10 on the latest Streaming Songs list. Only Chromakopia’s “I Hope You Find Your Way Home” misses the 50-position survey.
“St. Chroma” also becomes his second leader on R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, following the one-week reign of “Wusyaname.”
Concurrently, as previously reported, “St. Chroma” sports Chromakopia’s top rank on the Billboard Hot 100 – No. 7 – and the album bows atop the Billboard 200.
