Kanye West, a prominent figure in the music industry for over two decades, has recently achieved a significant milestone by reaching the No. 1 spot on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart with his song 'Carnival.' This track, featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid, and Playboi Carti, has quickly climbed the ranks, moving from No. 5 to the top spot in just two weeks.
'Carnival' marks the first TikTok Billboard Top 50 No. 1 hit for all artists involved, except for Playboi Carti, who had previously achieved this feat with his song 'Sky' in September 2023. While Rich the Kid and Ty Dolla $ign have only this track on the chart, Carti boasts five placements, including three top 10 hits. Kanye West, on the other hand, has seen three of his songs make it to the TikTok Billboard Top 50, all of which have reached the top 10 at least once.
The success of 'Carnival' can be attributed in part to the influence of TikTok, a platform that has become instrumental in launching new tracks and propelling songs to popularity. The song's rise on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 has also translated to success on the Hot 100 chart, where it currently sits at No. 2, hinting at a potential climb to the top position in the near future.
With its catchy tune and growing momentum, 'Carnival' by Kanye West and collaborators continues to captivate audiences and make waves in the music industry. As the song's popularity shows no signs of waning, it is poised to make further strides and solidify its position as a chart-topping hit.
