While “Rockstar” is DaBaby’s first No. 1 hit, the cut is Roddy’s second chart-topping song 2020. The West Coast rapper ruled the Hot 100 for much the year as his single “The Box” spent 11 weeks atop the chart.
Roddy is the first artist to score the first two No. 1 hits his career in the same year since Ed Sheeran, who did it in 2017. Five other acts — The Weeknd, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Adele, Bruno Mars and Kesha — have accomplished the feat over the past decade.
