Roddy Ricch Beats Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez With N1 Spot

[Guest]

Roddy Ricch got these pop stars shaken up and he seems to be trolling them along the way.

Earlier this week Urban Islandz reported that west coast artist Roddy Ricch beat out Justin Bieber for the No.1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with his single, “The Box.” The accomplishment was coupled with some controversy after Bieber went on a campaign to convince his fans to stream his new single, “Yummy,” and even posted tips on how to trick the algorithms. The plea prompted Roddy to seemingly troll the Biebs as he went and told his own fans to stream “Yummy.” But the former heartthrob’s tactics came up short, and Roddy earned his first No. 1 record, leaving hip-hop fans everywhere pretty pleased. But it looks like the battle for the charts may have returned to Roddy’s doorstep, and pop star Selena Gomez has joined the ring.

On Thursday video surfaced of Selena begging her fans to stream her album, Rare, so it can top Roddy Rich’s Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial for No. 1 on the charts. According to Complex, Selena’s project is leading this week’s sales by a slim margin, and is in jeopardy of coming in No. 2. But the former Disney star took to her Instagram to make sure that doesn’t happen.

“I just found out that my album is neck-to-neck with another incredible artist,” Selena said. “I told people before that, you know, it’s not about numbers for me, but I would love for the most important album I’ve ever released to become No. 1. So, if you don’t mind streaming it or listening to it on all the platforms, it would mean the absolute world to me.” Rare is Selena’s third studio album and was released last Friday. Roddy’s debut effort dropped Dec. 6 and went straight to the top, and earlier this week returned to the No. 1 spot. He became the first rapper since The Game to accomplish that feat.

“This is, again, something I’ve dreamed about for so long,” Selena continued. “But, regardless, I just hope that you guys are enjoying it and that it’s something that you all can just enjoy and have. So, no worries. Either way, I’m happy.” Hip-hop fans quickly began to troll Selena for her comments, especially coming directly after Justin Bieber tried to pull the same tricks last week.

Roddy himself joined the trolls again and repeated the same message he had for Justin, this time tweeting “stream rare by selena gomez.”

It will be interesting to see if the Selenators come through for her better than the Beliebers did.

We love to see it! Keep in mind that this is an album track, non-single with no promo or music video prior to its success by a previously unknown artist. It simply blew up because it’s good, beating out Selena and Justin with all their promo

The power of streaming.

Literally who is he? i don't know his music

Edit:

According to Wikipedia: The song's popularity was attributed to its use in a series of viral videos on TikTok.

Now I understand

 

[Regina George 59,387]

I don't know who he is but congrats.. He's probably better than those two

[FfFfFfFF 54,014]

I assume talent won. 

[Robo Ga 14,467]

Maybe I'm evil but I just LOVE to see these two humbled. Neither Selena or JB ever seemed to actually appreciate their success... lol. You love to see it.

Drag meeeeeee I'm free tonight xox

if his album is predicted to go #1 I’d hardly call him a one hit wonder!

also ‘irrelevant’ because he’s not backed by thousands of dollars like JB and Selena? he’s what the people are listening to.

The box is genuinely a good song though & people obviously would rather listen to that than Justin bieber or selena Gomez, that’s just Whats  in trend now. 
cheesy pop had its moment & will return at some point,

but you can’t call Roddy an irrelevant 1 hit wonder considering the box was an organic hit 

[LateToCult 36,304]

The Box slaps. There. I said it.

I guess talent won in the end
