While Megan The Stallion patiently awaits to see if her debut album Good News takes over the Billboard 200 chart next week, there’s another chart she’s currently dominating — the Steaming Songs chart.

 

Megan’s newest single, “Body,” was streamed an impressive 22.5 million times in the U.S. between November 20 and November 26.

So far in 2020, the 25-year-old rapper has sent three singles to the top spot this year — “Savage” featuring Beyonce, “WAP” with Cardi B and “Body,” which makes her the only woman to achieve such a feat in the chart’s seven year history.

In addition, she has locked herself in a six-way tie with Juice WLRDLil BabyAriana GrandeMiley Cyrus and Cardi for sending the fifth most songs to the top of the Steaming Song’s chart.

With Megan notching three number ones, she has six to go before taking on the chart’s leader — Drake — who was sent nine singles to the top spot.

Drake also is the act to beat with having the most number ones in a calendar year, which is five.  He set the bar in 2018.

As for Meg, her album Good News also debuted in the top spot on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums this week, moving 100,500 in the first seven days of its release.

Currently, the album hangs in the second spot on the Billboard 200 while Korean boy band BTS debuted at number one with their new album, Be.
