Big congratulations to Nicki Minaj as she has scored her first ever number 1 solo single on the Billboard Hot 100! She’s achieved the feat with her latest single, the Rick James-sampling “Super Freaky Girl,” according to a tweet from Chart Data. This makes her the first lead female artist to debut at No. 1 so far this year, and the first female rapper in the history of the chart to debut multiple tracks at No.1.
Billboard Hot 100: #1(new) Super Freaky Girl, @NICKIMINAJ.
