Impossible is nothing. After struggling to hit the jackpot for a year or two, Iggy Azalea finally struck gold with her single ‘Fancy’ feauring Charli XCX. Once the Bilboard charts are updated tomorrow, she will find herself at #1 on Hot 100. It is certainly a big feat as the last female rapper to hit the top spot as a lead artist was Lauryn Hill with ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ in 1998. Remy Ma was the last female MC to claim that spot in 2004 when she was featured on Terror Squad’s ‘Lean Back’
Iggy wrote this on her Twitter:
Well I’m very pleased, last year seemed impossible to convince anyone in the music business I could break into the top 100. Haha. So let this serve as proof anything is possible & I hope we see more female rappers new and established in the charts. Dope stuff, thanks!
