Earlier this week it was officially announced that 2023 had its first number-one rap song on the Hot 100. In its fifth week on the charts Doja Cat’s song “Paint The Town Red” elevated from number three to number one officially becoming the first hip-hop song to top the charts in over a year. She follows up Nicki Minaj, who debuted her single “Super Freaky Girl” at the top spot last year. Technically, Doja is the second rapper to appear on the top spot this year. Latto lent a guest verse to K-pop superstar Jung Kook’s single “Seven” earlier this year which also debuted at number one.
It’s Doja Cat’s second time appearing at the number one spot. She previously topped the charts alongside Nicki Minaj with the pair’s remix of Doja’s viral hit “Say So.” But “Paint The Town Red” represents her first ever time topping the charts by herself. Fittingly, she took to Instagram to celebrate the track’s success. As is often the case with her Instagram photo dumps there’s a surreal and random feeling to it throughout. Right in the middle of the series of pictures, however, is a screenshot of the track at the number one spot on the Hot 100.
