North West Makes Billboard History: 10-Year-Old Sensation Charts on Hot 100!

Kim Kardashian is celebrating her 10-year-old daughter North’s remarkable achievement as one of the youngest musicians to enter the Hot 100 chart.

North, who debuted in her father Kanye and Tai Dala $ign’s new single “Talking SL” earlier this month, secured a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart just two weeks after its release, reaching number 30.

Kanye proudly shared the news on his Instagram stories, reposting a photo of North from the Chart Data account, confirming her entry on the Hot 100.

The post featured a picture of North from the single’s artwork, adorned in a long black Abaya with a crown on her head and floor-length braids. Kanye left his post captionless.

The rapper had previously dropped a music video for “Talking SL” that included North singing her verse while getting her hair braided. In the video, she whispers something to her father and sits on his shoulders.

Some fans expressed mixed feelings about North’s early entry into the music industry, sharing opinions on platforms like Reddit.

Critics raised concerns about the potential impact on North, arguing that her exposure might lead to challenges and the need for therapy throughout her life.

Some accused Kanye and Kim Kardashian of using North as an extension of their own personalities in a narcissistic way. Others found the situation cringe-worthy and unnecessary, emphasizing that North is just a kid.

This isn’t the first time North has showcased her musical talents. In December, she joined Kanye and Tai Dala $ign on stage during the launch party for Kanye’s album “Vultures” in Miami.

North, dressed in all black, confidently performed her verse in front of an enthusiastic audience, demonstrating the flair of a seasoned performer.

While North’s early musical endeavors have sparked diverse reactions, her family continues to support and showcase her talents on various platforms.

North, who is West and Kim Kardashian’s oldest child, appears on “Talking,” one of the 16 tracks on the album. According to Billboard, North now makes history as one of the youngest acts to ever appear on the chart.

In her viral verse, West’s daughter raps, “I love it here / We’re gonna take over another year / It’s your bestie Miss, Miss Westie. Don’t try to test me / It’s gonna get messy / Just, just bless me, bless me / It’s your bestie Miss, Miss Westie.” As Billboard points out, she even appeared at West’s listening party for the album in December, where she rapped along to her verse on stage.

Kardashian took to her Instagram stories to celebrate her daughter, posting a screenshot of a tweet from the account Chart Data that highlights North’s accomplishment. The reality TV star wrote on the post over the screenshot, “My baby!!!!”

“Vultures 1” has been a success for both West and $ign, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. According to Billboard, they sold 148,000 equivalent album units during the first week of tracking, with Usher’s new album, “Coming Home,” landing at No. 2 with 91,000 units. All 16 songs on the “Vultures 1” album entered the Hot 100.

The Kardashian-West household seems to embrace North’s creative expression, even as it generates discussion and debate among fans and critics alike.
