Lizzo Debut No. 1 Spot On Billboard Hot 100 With ‘Truth Hurts’

Lizzo released “Truth Hurts” on September 19, 2017. And almost two years later, Lizzo’s breakout hit is the #1 song in the country.

After rising two spots on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Truth Hurts” became the first Number One song for the Detroit-bred singer/rapper.

The success of the single follows a few major looks in the past week including a performance at the VMAs and a four-song set performance at NBC’s Today. On top of that, she debuted two new remixes to the song, one with DaBaby and a remix by CID in the past week.

Lizzo joins Lauryn Hill (1), Lil Kim (1), Shawnna (1), Iggy Azalea (1), and Cardi B (3) as the only female rappers to top the Hot 100. Just Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing),” Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow,” and Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” reached #1 without another act on the record.
