Rae Sremmurd's Gucci Mane featured "Black Beatles" got a huge boost in popularity, likely due to the duo's new viral take on the #MannequinChallenge that they debuted at their Nov. 3 concert in Denver.
Over the past week, the song jumped from No. 16 to the Billboard Hot 100 top ten earning the No. 9 spot. The move earns both Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane their first trips to the Hot 100's coveted top 10, marking a huge milestone for all involved.
The track has even seen a significant bounce in popularity over on Pandora. "In the past few weeks, 'Black Beatles' has spiked over 1118% in spins and Rae Sremmurd has also had a huge spike in listening with over 100K station adds," a rep for Pandora confirmed to Fader. "This week alone, it has racked up over 8.8 million spins and over 1.2 Million Pandora listeners gave the track a thumbs up."
Young Thug also tried his luck with the #MannequinChallenge, sharing an epic version that featured his private jet pilot all while previewing a new clip of his collaboration with 21 Savage.
