Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are continuing to rack up impressive chart achievements for their new single "Bongos." Earlier this week the song made its debut on the Hot 100. It landed at number 14 in its first week directly in the middle of a sea of songs from Olivia Rodrigo's new album. While this is Megan Thee Stallion's first appearance on the Hot 100 this year, Cardi has had another collaboration sticking on the charts for months. She teamed up with Latto for "Put It On Da Floor Again" which debuted at number 13.
As it turns out, "Bongos" had an even more impressive debut on other charts. The song hit the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this morning and climbed even higher. The track debuted at number 4 making it their second collaboration to reach the top 5 following "WAP." WAP topped the chart back in 2020 during the same week it reached number one on the Hot 100 itself. The pair have managed to find success with both their collaborations and as individual artists on the charts. Listen to "Bongos" below.
