Saweetie Debuts On Billboard Artist 100 Chart, Reaches Top 3 On Emerging Artists; “My Type” Climbs Hot 100

Saweetie’s profile continues to rise in conjunction with the ascent of “My Type.”

As her “My Type” continues to make waves, Saweetie makes another splash on Billboard’s key artist charts.

The artist notably debuts at #96 on this week’s edition of the Billboard Artist 100. A definitive ranking of the top artists in America, the chart accounts for factors like album sales, song consumption and social media activity.

Saweetie meanwhile soars to a new peak of #3 on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart, which uses the same methodology but exclusively features artists who have yet to score a major hit on the album or song charts.

Granted, “My Type” is quickly moving toward “hit” status. It jumps twenty places to a new peak of #47 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The success of the song also propels Saweetie’s “ICY” EP onto the Billboard 200 at #192.
