Banks found her name at #100 on the week’s Hot 100. “Buss It” is her first entry to make the rankings of the most popular songs in America. In response to the achievement, she tweeted, “Omg I love y’all. [pleading face emojis].”
The Texas native likely also loves the fact that the internet made “Buss It” one of the top trends on social media over the last several weeks. After initially dropping in 2020, the song took off in January of this year as influencers and celebrities began taking part in the challenge.
Recently, Nelly was asked about the success of the #BussItChallenge which is partially centered around a snippet of his 2002 classic “Hot In Herre.” The Hip Hop veteran said, “Yeah, it’s dope. Keep doing it. Obviously, I had to clear the record. But, yo, keep doing it, definitely. I see the numbers adding up for me. It’s awesome.”
