Rod Wave Ascends to New Heights with “Call Your Friends” on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart

by Barbara

In a remarkable feat, Rod Wave achieves his second top 10 placement this year on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with the sensational track “Call Your Friends” storming in at No. 7 on the September 2 ranking. The song, freshly released under Alamo Records, will be featured on the rapper’s upcoming album, Nostalgia, set to drop on September 15.

During its inaugural tracking week of August 18-24, “Call Your Friends” secured an impressive 13.9 million official U.S. streams, as reported by Luminate, propelling it to an impressive No. 4 debut on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart. The track’s ascent on the multimetric chart is primarily driven by streams, with a minimal contribution from track sales and 2,000 radio audience impressions. Notably, “Call Your Friends” is not actively being promoted to radio stations as a single, unlike the rapper’s previous release, “Fight the Feeling,” which occupies that role.
