(AllHipHop News) “WAP” is still the most popular song in America. Despite the puritanical backlash from conservative politicians and talking heads, Cardi B’s single featuring Megan Thee Stallion remained atop the Hot 100 chart for a second straight week.

According to Billboard, “WAP” is the first song to debut at #1 and stay in that position in its second week since Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” in 2019. Cardi and Megan also currently lead the Digital Song Sales, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts.

“WAP” dropped to #2 on the Streaming Songs chart. It fell behind Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” featuring Lil Durk which opened at #2 on the Hot 100. “WAP” actually had more total streams (72.2 million) than “Laugh Now Cry Later” (69.8 million) but paid subscription, ad-supported, and programmed streams are weighted differently.
