Beyoncé is enjoying her biggest week on the Billboard charts in some time, and it’s all thanks to not a new album, but one that helped certify her as a superstar in her own right.
The former Destiny’s Child singer recently delivered the twentieth-anniversary edition of B’Day, her sophomore solo set. Beyoncé began promoting the project several weeks back with one single, “Morning Dew (Donk).” After only a few months of availability, that cut has become a chart-topper on multiple rankings, and it rises to the summit on one more list for the first time this frame.
Beyoncé Scores Another Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay No. 1
“Morning Dew (Donk)” jumps up the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart this week. In a sizable surge, the cut improves from No. 7 to No. 1. As it improves, the tune becomes the powerhouse vocalist’s fourteenth leader on the radio ranking.
Here are all of Beyoncé’s No. 1s on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.
- “7/11”
- “Baby Boy” with Sean Paul
- “Best Thing I Never Had”
- “Crazy in Love” with Jay-Z
- “Diva”
- “Drunk in Love” with Jay-Z
- “Irreplaceable”
- “Love on Top”
- “Morning Dew (Donk)”
- “Partition”
- “Party” with André 3000
- “Savage” with Megan Thee Stallion
- “Shining” with DJ Khaled and Jay-Z
- “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”
Beyoncé Returns to No. 1 After More Than Half a Decade
There was a stretch of time when Beyoncé regularly pushed tunes to No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, but it’s been more than half a decade since she last conquered the roster. Back in May 2020, “Savage,” which was originally a solo cut by Megan Thee Stallion and became even bigger when Beyoncé joined in on the fun, spent four frames leading the charge.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” Leads Two Billboard Radio Charts
“Morning Dew (Donk)” appears at No. 1 on only one other Billboard roster this week. The single holds in first place on the Adult R&B Airplay chart after rising to the summit last frame.
The two rankings focus on different areas of R&B radio. The Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart tracks activity at stations that program current R&B and hip-hop, while the Adult R&B Airplay tally focuses on outlets that lean toward an older audience and a more adult-oriented R&B format.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” has now spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. The cut is tied with “Break My Soul” as the shortest-leading of Beyoncé’s four champions on that roster.
Beyoncé’s Latest Reaches New Peaks on Three More Charts
“Morning Dew (Donk)” rises to new high points on another three rankings in the U.S. this frame. The tune advances from No. 21 to No. 18 on the Radio Songs chart, from No. 9 to No. 6 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs roster and up one spot to No. 4 on the Rhythmic Airplay tally.
“Morning Dew (Donk)” Climbs on Nearly Every Chart
“Morning Dew (Donk)” can be found on eight Billboard rankings at the moment, and it grows on nearly all of them during this busy week for Queen Bey. In addition to reaching new peaks on a handful of radio-focused rosters, the cut climbs to No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 – only a few spaces beneath its No. 26 best showing – and one rung to No. 3 on the Hot R&B Songs consumption chart. Neither of those positions mark never-before-seen heights for the tune. The single is steady at No. 3 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay ranking, matching its already-established peak.
