Only a week after the Kid LAROI topped the Billboard 200, he set another major milestone on the charts. The Australian rapper scored his very first no. 1 single atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Stay” featuring Justin Bieber.
“Stay” debuted at no. 3 following its original release on July 9th, but it didn’t take long to climb to the top. It drew 31.9 million radio airplay audience impressions, 30.9 million U.S. streams, and 14,400 downloads in the week ending on August 5th, about a month after it first hit the shelves.
“Stay” is Bieber’s eighth number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, but it’s the first for the Kid LAROI, and he couldn’t be happier about this success – especially since he’s the first Australian-born solo male artist to top the chart in 40 years.
“This is not only a big moment for me but a really big moment for Australia. growing up all I ever wanted to do was ‘make it big’ in America and show everyone what we have to offer. It’s been a while since I’ve been back home because of COVID but truuust me I been there in spirit,” wrote the rapper on Instagram.
