Lizzo Makes Historic Move at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart

Lizzo etches her name in history on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as her “Good As Hell” rises to No. 1 on the chart dated Nov. 23, replacing another of her songs, “Truth Hurts,” after its nonconsecutive 11-week run at the top.

The switch makes her the first woman to replace herself at No. 1 with her first pair of chart hits. (Meanwhile, Lizzo is the most-nominated artist of the 2020 Grammy Awards, with eight nominations!)

“Good” ascends from the runner-up rank as it gains in radio airplay. The single moves 5-3 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart with a 12% gain to 85.3 million in audience in the week ending Nov. 17, according to Nielsen Music.

That rise helps offset an identical 12% dip in streams, which fall to 13.9 million U.S. clicks in the week ending Nov. 14. The decline prompts a 14-16 fall on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart.

“Good” does retain the crown on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart for a third straight week, despite an 8% slide to 13,000 downloads sold in the week ending Nov. 14.

As “Good” eclipses “Truth Hurts” on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Lizzo becomes the 15th artist to oust themselves from the top spot since the chart began in 1958. Earlier this year, Post Malone pulled off a self-swap as “Wow.” overthrew “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse),” a collaboration with Swae Lee.

Among women artists, Lizzo is only the third act to knock herself from No. 1, and first in more than a decade. Alicia Keys last scored the one-two for the ladies, with “No One” giving way to “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” in 2008.
