\n\tPooh Shiesty<\/a> enjoys an immediate welcome reception on Billboard\u2019s Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs<\/a> chart, as he collects his first No. 1 with the debut of \u201cFDO\u201d atop the list dated Dec. 27. The comeback single is the 25-year-old rapper\u2019s first track since his release from prison<\/a> in October after serving three years behind bars of a five-year sentence.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor its chart-topping debut, \u201cFDO,\u201d released via 1017 Global\/Atlantic Records, registered 23 million official streams, 1,000 digital downloads and 392,000 audience impressions in the United States for the tracking week of Dec. 12-18, according to Luminate. Thanks to those totals in the respective metrics, \u201cFDO\u201d launches at No. 4 on the R&B\/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs<\/a> chart and No. 6 on the R&B\/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales<\/a> list. (Its first-week radio total places it below the threshold for R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay<\/a>, as is the norm for many new releases until airplay promotion campaigns pick up in later weeks.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWith \u201cFDO,\u201d Pooh Shiesty bags his first Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart No. 1 and surpasses his previous career best of No. 6, which he achieved with his first pair of entries. His own \u201cBack in Blood,\u201d featuring Lil Durk, peaked at the position in March 2021, and he equaled the mark the following month with a feature on Spotemgottem\u2019s \u201cBeat Box.\u201d The new champ is Pooh Shiesty\u2019s first appearance on the chart since his guest spot on Lil Baby\u2019s \u201cShiest Talk,\u201d which reached No. 26 in October 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, \u201cFDO\u201d storms in atop the Hot Rap Songs<\/a> chart, securing the Memphis, Tenn. rapper\u2019s first leader and outdoing the No. 4 high of \u201cBeat Box.\u201d It also opens at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, notably, with 17 Christmas or holiday-themed tracks above it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018FDO,\u2019 I had to come with this particular song because it\u2019s like the message,\u201d Pooh Shiesty told XXL<\/a> earlier this month. \u201cIt fit around the \u2018I\u2019m back\u2019 typa vibe. The thought process on it, I really was getting it together as I was in there doing my time. But I couldn\u2019t finish it because I\u2019m getting new experiences and I\u2019m going through new things. So, like I wrapped it up first day in the studio, with everything, the whole coming home experience. I couldn\u2019t rap in the song on how my welcome was when I came home\u2026 I did it when I came home and everything just hit me and it came out perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tActivity from \u201cFDO\u201d powers Pooh Shiesty onto the Billboard Artist 100<\/a> for the first time since June 2021. He returns at No. 77 on the ranking, which measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption \u2013 album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming \u2013 to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of the most popular artists. His career high remains his No. 8 result in February 2021 in the wake of his Shiesty Season album\u2019s release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pooh Shiesty enjoys an immediate welcome reception on Billboard\u2019s Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as he collects his first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[122815,156,2526,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-199644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-bb-charts","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-hiphop","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
