T-Wayne’s “Nasty Freestyle” is the highest-charting of several newcomers on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.
The release enters the all-encompassing chart at #43. That “Hot Shot Debut” position comes in conjunction with a #22 ranking on the Digital Songs subchart and a #34 ranking on the Streaming Songs subchart. Both of those also represent the highest positions for a new entry.
As far as the overall Hot 100 goes, Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” arrives as the next-highest-charting debut. It grabs the #80 position this week.
The song’s Hot 100 debut comes in conjunction with a #40 debut on the Digital Songs subchart.
