It’s been almost a year since Beyoncé dropped her latest album Renaissance, and one of its singles is still making waves. “Cuff It” returned to the Billboard Hot 100 for its 34th week, becoming the singer’s longest-charting solo hit on the chart.
“Cuff It” was originally released as the second single from Beyoncé’s seventh studio album Renaissance, which hit the shelves last summer. This song eventually peaked at no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went on to win a Grammy for the best R&B song.
Renewed interest in this song can be credited to the “Wetter Remix”, which mashes it up with the instrumental of “Wetter” by Twista. After seeing it go viral, Beyoncé decided to officially release the remix with new vocals and lyrics back in February.
With 34 weeks spent on the Billboard Hot 100, “Cuff It” is the longest-charting hit of Beyoncé’s career as a solo artist. The record was previously held by her Lady Gaga collaboration “Telephone”, which peaked at no. 3 and spent 33 weeks on the chart.
Beyoncé is now just one week away from matching her longest Billboard Hot 100 stay with Destiny’s Child. Their smash hit “No, No, No” spent 35 weeks on the chart back in 1997-98.
