Though it took FOREVER to get “My Way” on iTunes, Fetty Wap finally made it available earlier this month. (Sans Drake, however.) In less than 2 weeks, the track has skyrocketed to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, sitting comfortably next to “Trap Queen” at number 6. With two songs in the top 10, this makes Fetty the first rapper to achieve that feat in four years! The last one to do it was Lil Wayne in September of 2011 with “How To Love” and the Drake-assisted “She Will.” What’s more? “679”, which was added about a month or two before “My Way,” is now at #18! That’s three songs in the top 20! One-hit wonder who?! JERSEY!
Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” Might Break A Billboard Record Next Week
In the fall of 2002, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” became the longest-running rap single at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the charts for a whopping 12 consecutive weeks. In the spring of 2009, the Black Eyed Peas tied that record with “Boom Boom Pow.” Now 6 years later, Wiz Khalifa has tied that record as well, thanks to his Charlie Puth-assisted single, “See You Again,” hitting number one once again this week. Should Wiz make it just one more week at the top, he will officially break out of the three-way tie, and hold the record by himself. However – there’s some trouble brewing! Billboard reports that newcomer OMI‘s breakout hit “Cheerleader” is trailing VERY closely behind “See You Again,” and has the potential to take the lead next week. Let’s see what happens!

Following 3 spots in Washington D.C., Wiz will be able to enjoy all of the chicken dishes he’s come to love from Nando’s when he opens it in the city he currently resides in. “Wiz is obsessed with Nando’s. He makes it his first stop as soon as he steps foot into the UK,” a source reported. “He also loves to grab carry-out, take it to his hotel room, and eat without being disturbed there.
