Meanwhile, 6ix9ine’s ‘Trollz’ suffered the biggest chart fall in history for a single debuting at Number One on the US Billboard chart.

Last week, the rapper’s collaboration with Nicki Minaj debuted on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart after selling 116,000 equivalent units. Of that sum, 36 million were streams while it earned 1.2 million radio airplay audience impressions.

It marked 6ix9ine’s first Number One, and is only the 40th song ever to debut at Number One on the Hot 100 in the chart’s history. He celebrated the achievement by posting a video on Instagram which saw him popping a bottle of champagne while repeatedly claiming to be “unstoppable.”

However, according to Chart Data, ‘Trollz’ suffered “the biggest fall for a #1 debut in Hit 100 history.”
