Congratulations are in order for Polo G. The Chicago rapper has officially debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his latest single “RAPSTAR.”

The 22 year old was projected to land at the top spot at the end of last week and Billboard has released the final tally, confirming that Polo G has his first-ever #1 record.

It’s a big win for Polo G, who did this without the help of a high-profile feature. Polo’s new song speaks about his newfound fame and wealth over a catchy ukelele-driven beat.

It’s expected to appear on his upcoming album, presumably titled Hall Of Fame. The song beats out Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which remains at #2 on the chart. It also had a better week than Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open,” Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and the debuting “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat and SZA.

The rapper took to Instagram to celebrate his win, writing: “It’s Crazy I really Manifested this sh*t. I got a long list of goals imma b scratchin off just this year alone…Only 52 ppl ever debuted @ #1 on the billboard hot 100 & I’m part of that group U can’t tell me I ain’t chosen I done really beat the odds fr From A Place where n***as like me b the 1st to die who woulda thought I’ll go #1….thank y’all Mann.”

He continued, “I can’t stress that enough Ik I work hard asf & y’all work just as hard supporting me We gone keep goin up fr REAL #rapstar Album comin sooooonnnnnnn #Halloffame.”
