Today, we receive another lesson about the power of the internet. Back in August, the rap duo known as Rae Sremmurd went ahead and released their sophomore studio album, SremmLife 2. With many tracks catching the ears of fans and casual listeners, the brothers seem to have crafted a fan-favorite with ‘Black Beatles.’ Fast-forward to November and the record is the talk of the internet, mainly in part to the #MannequinChallenge that has swept the fact of the internet. Seeing people put on their best mannequin impressions, most videos features the sounds of Rae Sremmurd’s ‘Black Beatles,’ which has helped the record skyrocket to no. 1 on iTunes and so much more.
Now, in Billboard chart news, there’s more to celebrate as Rae Sremmurd, along with Gucci Mane, see a new peak on the charts as ‘Black Beatles’ officially touches the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 at no. 9. With the #MannequinChallenge still going strong, along with radio and streaming support, Rae Sremmurd looks to have a monster hit on their hands. Congratulations to the brothers and Gucci Mane!
