The latest update of the Billboard Hot 100 chart shows Megan Thee Stallion’s Beyonce-assisted “Savage (Remix)” dethroning Doja Cat’s “Say So.”
You might have noticed that Doja is the only artist listed on the record this time around, although the remix featured Nicki Minaj, but there’s a logical explanation.
Billboard reports that the “majority of overall activity for the song” comes from the original version but this doesn’t affect “any of Minaj’s achievements.”
“After two weeks of Minaj showing as a featured artist on “Say So” on the Hot 100 and other charts that utilize the same methodology, only Doja Cat is now listed, as the original version, without Minaj, is now driving the majority of overall activity for the song; the change does not affect any of Minaj’s achievements on those charts the past two weeks, and she continues not to be credited on the song on any airplay charts, as the vast majority of the song’s airplay is still for the original version,” the outlet stated.
“Say So” marked both Doja and Nicki Minaj’s first No. 1 single, but the historic moment was tainted after the Hot Pink rapper was caught up in controversy about a weird self-hating identity issue.
