The song, released July 21 alongside the new Barbie film, begins with 5.2 million U.S. streams and 2,000 downloads sold in its opening week, according to Luminate. It also debuts at No. 4 on Hot Rock Songs and No. 5 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, as well as No. 39 on Digital Song Sales.
The track debuts along with the Barbie: The Album soundtrack, also released July 21 via Mattel/WaterTower/Atlantic Records. The album opens at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 126,000 units, as well as No. 1 on the Soundtracks chart and No. 2 on Top Album Sales. It’s the highest charting soundtrack on the Billboard 200 since Encanto led the list for nine nonconsecutive weeks (January-March 2022). Barbie is also the highest debut for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since the Beyoncé-led The Lion King: The Gift also opened at No. 2 four years ago (Aug. 3, 2019, chart).

While “I’m Just Ken” is Gosling’s first entry on the Hot 100, it’s not his first overall chart appearance. He’s charted once before, with “City of Stars” from his 2016 film La La Land. His solo version spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Jazz Digital Song Sales chart, while a version with co-star Emma Stone reached No. 8 on the Hot 100’s Bubbling Under ranking and No. 45 on Digital Song Sales.
Gosling’s musical endeavors predate La La Land. The actor broke through at age 13 as a member of the Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Club (from 1993 to 1995). He performed song and dance numbers alongside future Billboard hitmakers Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, among others.
In between Mickey Mouse Club and Barbie, Gosling has forged a hugely successful career in Hollywood, starring in box-office hits including The Big Short; Blue Valentine; Crazy, Stupid, Love; Drive and The Notebook. He has two Academy Award nominations for best actor under his belt, for Half Nelson in 2007 and La La Land in 2017.
Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 75th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Aug. 5), thanks to the continued success of her latest album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), plus 10 additional albums on the Billboard 200.

The set drops to No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 79,000 equivalent album units earned July 21-27, according to Luminate, after spending its first two weeks at No. 1. It became Swift’s first re-recorded album to notch its first two weeks at the summit.
Also boosting Swift’s Artist 100 standing are 10 additional albums on the Billboard 200. This is the third week (all consecutive) that Swift has landed 11 titles on the chart. Two weeks ago, she became just the third act — and first woman — to chart at least 11 in a single week, following The Beatles and Prince.
Here’s a recap of Swift’s current Billboard 200-charting titles.
Rank, Title:

On the Billboard Hot 100, Swift charts five songs: “Cruel Summer” (up 8-6, a new peak), “Karma” featuring Ice Spice (down 11-15), “Anti-Hero” (19-22), “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” (33-45) and “Enchanted (Taylor’s Version)” (65-89).
Among other Artist 100 chart moves, NewJeans jump 64-2, reaching a new high thanks to the K-pop group’s new set 2nd EP ‘Get Up’. The collection launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking the act’s first leader, with 126,000 units.
Plus, Greta Van Fleet re-enters the Artist 100 at No. 6 on the strength of its third LP, Starcatcher. The album debuts at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 (46,000 units), becoming the band’s third top 10.
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
Alejandro Fernández collects his 10th No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “No Es Que Me Quiera Ir” pushes 13-1 to lead the Aug. 5-dated survey. The song follows the two-week champ “Caballero,” his first career No. 1 this decade (Feb. 2020).
“No Es Que Me Quiera Ir” conquers Latin Airplay after it gained 9.1 million in audience impressions, a 50% rise from the week prior, earned in the U.S. during the July 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song’s main supporters include Univision stations, KSCA Los Angeles and WOJO Chicago, as monitored by Mediabase, which provides Luminate data for Billboard charts.)
The ranchera, released May 19 and written by Eden Muñoz, ejects Prince Royce’s “Me EnRD” from the lead after its one term at No. 1, as the bachata dips 1-5 with 17% drop in audience impressions, to 8.4 million.
Further, “Que Me Quiera Ir” earns Universal Music Latino/UMLE its second No. 1 in 2023, after the label dominated the chart with Karol G and Shakira’s “TQG” for two weeks between May and July.
As mentioned, with “Me Quiera Ir” capturing the crown on Latin Airplay, Fernández scores his 10th ruler, the second-most among regional Mexican acts, trailing Marco Antonio Solis who continues to lead with 11 champs on his Latin Airplay account. Plus, “Que Me Quiera” becomes his first win since “Cabaellero” in 2020. In between he’s placed five top 10s, for a total of 23 top 10s since “A Pesar de Todo” reached No. 10 high in Dec. 1994.
Here’s a full recap of Fernández’s 10 leaders dating back to his first in 1997:
Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1Oct. 18, 1997, “Si Tú Supieras,” sixDec. 27, 1997, “En El Jardín,” featuring Gloria Estefan, sixMarch 14, 1998, “No Se Olvidar,” eightJuly 18, 1998, “Yo Nací Para Amarte,” fiveAug. 21, 1999, “Loco,” oneDec. 1, 201, “Tantita Pena,” sixOct. 23, 2004, “Me Dedique A Perderte,” twoFeb. 06, 2010, “Se Me Va La Voz,” oneJan. 04, 2020, “Caballero,” twoAug. 05, 2023, “No Es Que Me Quiera Ir,” one
Notably, “Que Me Quiera Ir” marks a new milestone achievement for singer-songwriter Eden Muñoz, who captures his first No. 1 on Latin Airplay as a songwriter. Previously he scored a No. 2 high as a songwriter through Banda Carnaval’s “Esa Vez Soy Yo” (Jan. 2020).
Elsewhere, “Que Me Quiera Ir” advances 7-1 on Regional Mexican Airplay as the week’s Greatest Gainer. Fernández wins his sixth champ, the fifth-most among regional Mexican soloists.

NewJeans land both their first No. 1 and first entry on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Aug. 5) as their 2nd EP ‘Get Up’ debuts atop the list. The set earned 126,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending July 27, according to Luminate, mostly driven by CD sales of the album.

The Korean quintet brings a second all-female group to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in less than a year, following BLACKPINK’s Born Pink last September. They are the only two albums by all-female groups to reach No. 1 in the last 15 years. (Before BLACKPINK, the last all-female group to lead the tally was Danity Kane with Welcome to the Dollhouse in April of 2008.)
Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200, the all-star Barbie soundtrack bows at No. 2 – with the biggest week, by units earned, for a theatrical film soundtrack in over four years. Plus, Greta Van Fleet claims its third top 10-charting effort as Starcatcher starts at No. 8.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 5, 2023-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 2. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.
Of Get Up’s 126,500 equivalent album units earned in the week ending July 27, album sales comprise 101,500 (with 99% of that sum driven by CD sales and 1% via digital download), SEA units comprise 24,500 (equaling 34.39 million on-demand official streams of the set’s six tracks) and TEA units comprise 500.
Like many K-pop releases, the CD edition of Get Up was issued in collectible CD packages (three main versions, available in 14 different iterations, with different covers and packaging individualized to the different group members, and all with a set of randomized branded merchandise inside, including photo books, lyric books and photo cards). Most of the permutations of the CD edition of the album saw their contents housed in a branded bag, which was then contained inside a box. The set was only available for purchase as a CD or a digital download album.
Get Up is mostly in the Korean language, but includes some English lyrics. It is the 20th mostly non-English language album to hit No. 1, and the fourth of 2023, following Stray Kids’ 5-STAR (one week at No. 1, June 17 chart), Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito (one week, March 11) and TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s The Name Chapter: Temptation (one week, Feb. 11).
Though Get Up is NewJeans’ first album to chart on the Billboard 200, the group logged three entries before the album’s release on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, including the Get Up track “Super Shy,” which climbs to a new peak of No. 48 on the Aug. 5-dated chart.
Notably, the six-track Get Up is the second No. 1 album of 2023 to have fewer than 10 tracks, after another K-pop project, TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s five-song The Name Chapter: Temptation.
The all-star Barbie film soundtrack bounds in at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 126,000 equivalent album units earned — the biggest week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack, by units, in more than four years. The last soundtrack to score a bigger week was Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born, which registered 129,000 on the March 9, 2019, chart (at No. 1), following its exposure on that year’s Academy Awards (Feb. 24).
Barbie marks the highest charting soundtrack in more than a year, since Encanto led the list for nine nonconsecutive weeks (January-March 2022). Barbie is also the highest debut for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack since the Beyoncé-led The Lion King: The Gift also opened at No. 2 three years ago (Aug. 3, 2019, chart).
The Barbie album features new music from Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice and Sam Smith (among many others), and even a pair of tracks from the film’s co-star Ryan Gosling.
Of Barbie’s starting unit sum of 126,000, SEA units comprise 70,000 (equaling 93.81 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 19 songs), album sales comprise 53,000, and TEA units comprise 3,000.
Meanwhile, Barbie boasts the largest sales week on vinyl for a theatrical film soundtrack (33,000) since Luminate began electronically tracking music sales in 1991. (The set’s vinyl sales were enhanced by its availability across at least six color variants.) Further, Barbie scores the largest first-week streams (93.81 million) for a soundtrack in over five years, since Black Panther started with 138.95 million (Feb. 24, 2018, chart).
Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 One Thing at a Time dips 2-3 on the Billboard 200 with 103,000 equivalent album units (down 2%). The set has earned in excess of 100,000 equivalent album units in all 21 of its chart weeks, extending its own record as the album with the most weeks of 100,000-plus units since the Billboard 200 began ranking titles by units in December of 2014.
Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) falls to No. 4 in its third week (79,000 equivalent album units; down 35%) after spending its first two weeks at No. 1. Peso Pluma’s Génesis drops 3-5 (53,000; down 4%), Swift’s chart-topping Midnights descends 4-6 (49,000; down 4%) and Wallen’s former leader Dangerous: The Double Album falls 5-7 (47,000; down 1%).
Greta Van Fleet notches its third top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200 as Starcatcher starts at No. 8. The set launches with 45,500 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 41,000, SEA units comprise 4,500 (equaling 5.83 million on-demand official streams of the set’s 10 songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Rounding out the top 10 is a pair of former No. 1s: SZA’s SOS (7-9 with just over 42,000; down 2%) and Swift’s Lover (6-10 with 42,000; down 3%).

As Jason Aldean‘s “Try That in a Small Town” tops the Billboard Hot 100, giving the country singer his very first No. 1 on the all-genre tally of his career, his wife Brittany Aldean took to social media to celebrate — and to clap back at critics on social media as the song and its video have been embroiled in controversy.

Brittany shared the news of her husband’s chart-topping status on Tuessday (Aug. 1) with her 2.5 million Instagram followers, saying, “Well, yesterday was a monumental day for Jason Aldean. #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart!!…a career first. That sure did backfire, didn’t it?? The best fans EVERRRR,” followed with four heart emojis.
The post also included photos of the couple hugging, as well as a photo of Jason with the couple’s son Memphis and daughter Navy.
Aldean previously earned a Hot 100 top 10 song in 2011, with “Dirt Road Anthem.”
The country singer’s chart-topping moment is part of a history-making week on the Hot 100. With Aldean at No. 1, Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” at No. 2 and Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” at No. 3, country hits take the Hot 100’s top three spots in a single week for the first time, dating to the Hot 100’s inception in August 1958.
“Try That in a Small Town” was released back in May, but garnered attention after the video — which featured footage of looting, carjackings, rioting and flags burning — was released. CMT soon pulled the clip from its video rotation, sparking both praise and backlash from music fans. Many social media commentators criticized the music video as racist, pro-gun, anti-Black Lives Matter and anti-protests.
Aldean later issued a statement regarding the controversy. “In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to a comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests,” his message on Instagram Stories and Facebook said. “These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage- and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.”
The video was later edited to remove imagery of a Black Lives Matter protest and additional footage later in the video, shortening the clip by six seconds. Aldean’s label, BBR Music Group, noted the removal was due to clearance issues, according to ABC News.

Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj’s “Princess Diana” reigns atop Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart, as the single advances from No. 3 to rule the list dated Aug. 5. The track ascends to the summit after an 11% jump in plays that made it the most played song on U.S. monitored rhythmic radio stations in the week ending July 27, according to Luminate.
With “Princess Diana,” Ice Spice claims her second Rhythmic Airplay No. 1. Her first was also through a collaboration, as she joined PinkPantheress for “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2,” which led the chart for one week in May.
Minaj, meanwhile, secures her 10th visit to the Rhythmic Airplay penthouse. Thanks to her newest champ, she becomes only the third woman to crack the double-digit barrier. Rihanna was the first to the club, achieving her 10th champ with “Diamonds” in 2012, while Beyoncé followed in 2020 as her featured role on “Savage” became her 10th leader. Since then, both artists have increased their counts: Rihanna now sits at 17 No. 1s; Beyonce owns 12.
On the overall leaderboard, Minaj ties Post Malone for the ninth-most Rhythmic Airplay No. 1s among all artists since the chart began in 1992. Drake tops the count with 38 chart-toppers.
As Nicki Minaj reaches a milestone, here’s a recap of her 10 Rhythmic Airplay No. 1s:
Song Title, Artist (if other than Nicki Minaj), Weeks at No. 1, Date Reached No. 1
“Bottoms Up,” Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj, one, Nov. 30, 2010
“Super Bass,” one, Aug. 6, 2011
“Touchin, Lovin” Trey Songz featuring Nicki Minaj, four, Nov. 22, 2014
“Truffle Butter,” featuring Drake & Lil Wayne, one, March 28, 2015
“Hey Mama,” David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack, one, July 25, 2015
“Rake It Up,” Yo Gotti featuring Nicki Minaj, one, Nov. 4, 2017
“Big Bank,” YG featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean & Nicki Minaj, one, Oct. 20, 2018
“Hot Girl Summer,” with Megan Thee Stallion & Ty Dolla $ign, one, Oct. 26, 2019
“Super Freaky Girl,” four, Oct. 1, 2022
“Princess Diana,” with Ice Spice, Aug. 5, 2023

“Princess Diana” was originally released as part of Ice’s Spice Like…? EP in January, before Minaj joined for a remix that dropped on April 14. (All versions of the song are combined for tracking and chart purposes.) In addition to its Rhythmic Airplay coronation, the song jumps into the top 10 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, where it steps 11-9 following an 8% gain in plays in the latest tracking weeks.
Despite the rap prodigy and legend linking up for just the first time this year, the Ice Spice-Nicki Minaj partnership has already produced another Rhythmic Airplay hit with “Barbie World,” featuring Aqua. The song, from the soundtrack to the box-office blockbuster Barbie, pushes 19-14 on the newest chart after a 23% surge in weekly plays.
Kylie Minogue rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s Aug. 5-dated Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with “Padam Padam.”
The song gained 16% in plays July 21-27, according to Luminate. In all but one of its six chart weeks dating back to its July 1 debut, it has made double-digit percentage gains.
By climbing to the top, Minogue replaces Rita Ora’s “Praising You,” which features Fatboy Slim via a sample of his 1999 classic “Praise You.” That track had been No. 1 since before “Padam” entered the chart, beginning its six-week reign on the June 24-dated tally.
The two No. 1s before Ora’s were also collaborations, with David Guetta, Anne-Marie and Coi Leray teaming up on “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” (three weeks) and Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding on “Miracles” (two). On average, collaborations have ruled for three of every four weeks in the last three years (73% of the last 157 frames), with Minogue one of just nine solo women to get to No. 1 since summer 2020.
But Minogue is no stranger to the top spot, though it has been a while. She last led with “Red Blooded Woman,” for two weeks in May 2004. That track was sandwiched between her other top 10s: “Slow” reached No. 7 in 2003 and “I Believe In You” hit No. 4 in 2005 (marking her last top 10 until “Padam”).
“Padam Padam” is Minogue’s second Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart-topper and 10th chart entry, although her career pre-dates the list’s 2003 launch; she first reached rankings in 1988. She boasts five top 10s on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, with Disco having become her first No. 1 in November 2020.
Meanwhile, being promoted to pop and adult radio, “Padam Padam” — the lead single from Minogue’s album Tension, due Sept. 22 — debuts at No. 40 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. It’s her first entry on the chart since “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” which reached No. 23 in April 2002. That song became her second of two top 10s, reaching No. 7, on the all-genre, multimetric Billboard Hot 100, after “The Loco-Motion” hit No. 3 in November 1988.
Just nine weeks after Chayanne captured his first top 10 in over 14 years on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart, he is back in command – with his first No. 1 since 2008 – as “Bailando Bachata” rises 2-1 to rule the Aug. 5-dated list.

The song earns Greatest Gainer honors for the week fueled by an 18% increase in audience impressions, to 8.9 million, earned in the week ending July 27, according to Luminate.
“Honestly, I always do things because I feel them and since we started working on the album, bachata was considered,” Chayanne tells Billboard. “With the excessive amount of competition these days I wasn’t expecting it, but I am very grateful for this No. 1.”
“Bailando Bachata” is the third single from Chayanne’s forthcoming studio album (released date TBD). It follows two top 10 singles: “Te Amo y Punto” and “Como Tú y Yo” reached No. 6 and No. 7, respectively on Latin Pop Airplay in late 2022.
“Bachata” tops the list 14 years after Chayanne’s last leader, “Amor Inmortal,” dominated for five weeks in late 2008. The over 14-year window between new rulers is the longest gap by any artist since Dec. 2016, when Jennifer Lopez ended a 17-year wait between No. 1s when “Olvídame y Pega La Vuelta,” with Marc Anthony, topped the list. It was her first No. 1 since “No Me Ames,” also with Marc Anthony, in 1999.
As bachata proliferates on a global level, more artists are basking on its popularity. Notably, five of the six songs that have arrived at the summit on Tropical Airplay in 2023 belong to the genre. Here’s the recap:
Title, Artist, Peak Date, Total Weeks at No. 1“Monotonia,” Shakira & Ozuna, Jan. 7 (nine)“El Pañuelo,” Romeo Santos & Rosalia, Feb. 4 (four)“La Bachata,” Manuel Turizo, Feb. 11 (14)“Me EnRD,” Prince Royce, July 8 (four)“Bailando Bachata,” Chayanne, Aug. 5
About the genre’s craze, Chayanne feels differently: “I love both bachata as much as all tropical rhythms. All the songs on the new album are special, I always surround myself with professionals and I only record what I feel I like, that suits me and that the public may like, not necessarily because there is a trend.”
As “Bailando Bachata” takes charge of Tropical Airplay, it ejects Prince Royce’s “Me EnRD” from its four-week command with a 17% dip in audience, to 8.4 million.
Further, “Bailando Bachata” concurrently delivers extra goods for Chayanne with a 5-3 lift on the overall Latin Airplay list, matching his career-high for almost a decade, as “Humanos a Marte” landed and at an equal No. 3 high in Aug. 2014.
“In my case, inspirations go hand-in hand with rhythm and lyrics,” Chayanne adds. “I like songs that denote joy and invite to dance. This one most certainly will be included on my next tour; I want all to dance it with me.”

Chris Tomlin’s “Holy Forever” hits the summit on Billboard’s Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay surveys (dated Aug. 5).
On Christian Airplay, the song ascends 3-1 after gaining by 4% to 6 million impressions in the July 21-27 tracking week, according to Luminate. It also climbs 3-1 on Christian AC Airplay, up 3% in plays.
Tomlin adds his 11th and 10th leader on each respective list. He co-authored “Holy Forever” with Jason Ingram, Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson and Phil Wickham.
“I remember over 20 years ago being told that radio wouldn’t play worship music,” Tomlin tells Billboard. “So, fast-forward to today and not only do I have another No. 1 at radio, but also the ongoing opportunity to help give people a voice to worship God through radio, streaming, live events and through songs being led in the church. It’s something I will never take for granted. I could never have imagined the doors and opportunities God would open up, and I am so excited, and expectant, for what’s next.”

Tomlin last led Christian Airplay for six weeks starting in October 2020 with “Who You Are to Me,” featuring Lady A. His run of No. 1s began in April 2006 with “How Great Is Our God.”
In between his two latest Christian Airplay No. 1s, Tomlin scored two top 10s: “Thank You,” featuring Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line (No. 6, December 2021), and “Always” (No. 5, October 2022).
With 11 Christian Airplay No. 1s, Tomlin moves to within one of the record among soloists, as Jeremy Camp, tobyMac and Matthew West have 12 apiece. MercyMe leads all acts with 18 No. 1s.
Camp’s 13 Christian AC Airplay leaders mark the most among solo artists, with Tomlin and West tied for second with 10 each. Overall, MercyMe likewise has the most, with 19.
“Jealousy,” Offset’s new collaboration with Cardi B, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart, powered by Twitter, dated Aug. 5.
Billboard’s Hot Trending charts, powered by Twitter, tracks global music-related trends and conversations in real-time across Twitter, viewable over either the last 24 hours or past seven days. A weekly, 20-position version of the chart, covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week, posts alongside Billboard’s other weekly charts on Billboard.com each Tuesday, with the latest tracking period running July 21-27.
“Jealousy” was premiered in full on July 28, but its release was first teased on with a video posted to Offset’s social media on July 24 starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Two days later on July 26, its title – and Cardi B’s involvement – was revealed.
It’s Cardi’s second No. 1 on Hot Trending Songs, which began in 2021, after she was also featured on Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” this April. Meanwhile, it’s Offset’s first solo appearance on the survey.
“Jealousy” reigns over a variety of songs from Travis Scott’s newly released album Utopia, which came out July 28, after the tracklist was revealed July 27. “Skitzo” leads the pack at No. 2, followed by “Meltdown” at No. 3, and “Modern Jam” joins the group in the top 10 (No. 6).
Gucci Mane’s “Woppenheimer” also premieres within the top five, bowing at No. 4. Much like the rest of the aforementioned songs, it was released July 28, but its existence was teased during the July 21-27 tracking week following a viral tweet promoting a fake Woppenheimer mixtape from the rapper around the release of the film Oppenheimer. Gucci Mane quote-tweeted the post, adding the eyes emoji and the hashtag #woppenheimer on July 26, with the song following two days later.
