You Want It, 'Say So' — Nicki Minaj And Doja Cat Just Scored Their First No. 1 Song

in the event you could believe it, Nicki Minaj's No. 1 debut album, Pink Friday, was released nearly 10 full years back already. In that time, Minaj has appeared on a total of 109 songs (!) That have cracked the Billboard Hot 100 as both lead and featured artist, and while plenty have reached the best five, none have hit the best spot — up until today (May 11).


On this week's Billboard chart, Minaj scored her first No. 1 thanks to a visitor appearance on Doja Cat's disco revival jam "Say So." Minaj's contribution to the remix, which dropped on May 1, helped launch the song into the best spot, also allowing Doja Cat her first Hot 100 No. 1 as well.


Notably, mention So" beat out another gigantic remix from last week: Megan Thee Stallion's rousing new version of "Savage" featuring Beyoncé. Early forecasts had put the two tracks against each other in the race to the best spot, based on streaming and listening statistics. As radio host Mike Adam tweeted, this marks another — the initial time the best two spots on the Billboard Hot 100 have been occupied by four Black girls. Meg weighed in on social media to celebrate.


Additionally, as Billboard points out in its analysis of the chart news, Minaj's milestone marks "the longest that a Hot 100-topping artist has had to wait for a first No. 1." And the accolades continue. Mention So" marks the initial team-up between two ladies to hit No. 1 since 2014's decorative with Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX. It's also only one of six songs by solo females artists to ever top the chart.


Meanwhile on the chart, The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" sits pretty at No. 3, followed by Drake's "Toosie Slide" and Roddy Ricch's "The Box," which rounds out the best five.
