Ella Mai's 'Boo'd Up' Is R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart's Longest-Running No. 1 by a Woman This Decade
As Ella Mai?s ?Boo?d Up? secures a 13th week atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart (dated Sept. 15), it surpasses the 12-week command of Alicia Keys? ?Unthinkable? in 2010 to become the longest-running No. 1 by a female artist of the 2010s decade thus far.
Among songs by women, ?Boo?d? secures the longest stay at No. 1 on the chart since Mary J. Blige?s ?Be Without You? reigned for 15 weeks in 2006 -- still the benchmark for most weeks at No. 1 among female acts since the chart began in 1992.
With a 13th frame in charge of R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, Mai?s ?Boo?d? ties Toni Braxton?s 1996 smash ?You?re Makin? Me High? for third place among songs by women with the most weeks at No. 1. The pair trail only Blige?s ?You? and Mariah Carey?s ?We Belong Together,? a 14-week champ in 2005. Among all songs, Miguel?s ?Adorn? tops the all-time leaderboard, with a 23-week domination in 2012-13.
Here?s an updated look at the longest-running No. 1s by on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which began Oct. 3, 1992.
