But the track faced an unexpected twist when fellow music queen, Nicki Minaj, took offense to a lyric referencing “Megan’s Law.” Megan was not bothered. She made something good out of the bad situation. This made her fans and other artists like Latto and Cheryl Lynn support her even more.
Megan announced her second album, “HISS,” after “Cobra.” She will release it before her Hotties Summer tour, which fans are eagerly awaiting. Packed with special guests and surprises, the tour promises to be a sold-out extravaganza.
However, Megan’s reign faces a formidable rival: Ariana Grande. Ariana collaborated with Doja Cat and The Weeknd on the song “yes, and?“. It became very popular and reached the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. It had the highest sales in its first week compared to other songs this year. This track is a laid-back R&B tune highlighting the vocal talents of the three artists. It is also the first single from Ariana’s upcoming album, which is rumored to have more collaborations with famous artists.
What seemed like Ariana’s undisputed territory was suddenly challenged by the rising “HISS.” The song quickly climbed the charts, initially projected to debut at a respectable No. 9. But then, something unexpected happened. Spotify and Apple Music were buzzing with excitement about the newest “HISS” on music streaming platforms. This propelled it to potentially surpass Ariana and have the biggest sales week of 2024.
News outlets and fans reported on the epic showdown. This increased conversations and possibly boosted sales for both queens. Some people celebrated the healthy competition. Some people thought there were rivalries and different styles. Some people even said the industry manipulated things on purpose to create controversy.
With the final sales figures still under wraps, the suspense is electrifying. Will “HISS” out-sting “yes, and?” on the Billboard Hot 100 chart released next Tuesday? Regardless of the outcome, both tracks have proven to be chart-toppers, solidifying the reign of these two powerhouses in the music industry. So, grab your popcorn, hit play, and witness the ultimate queen bee showdown!
