#Pop Smoke Posthumously Adds To Radio Dominance With Another No. 1

With the one-year anniversary of Pop Smoke’s death approaching in February, the late Brooklyn rapper continues to posthumously be a radio staple in Hip Hop as the New Year begins.

According to Chart Data on Sunday (January 24), Pop’s “What You Know Bout Love” rose to No. 1 on U.S. Rhythmic radio this week. The Ginuwine-sampling cut also holds the No. 22 spot on Pop radio. The feat gives him a second radio No. 1 simultaneously as “For The Night” featuring Lil Baby and DaBaby remains on top at Urban radio.

Pop Smoke’s “What You Know Bout Love” has officially reached #1 at US Rhythmic radio (Mediabase).

Back in November 2020, Pop once again reached the apex of Urban radio with the 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch-assisted “The Woo” hitting No. 1. 50 also served as an executive producer on Pop’s posthumous Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon album.

“@RoddyRicch laughing #1 she want to fuck wit the Woo,” the Queens rap legend wrote in a since-deleted post.

Early Monday (January 25), Pop’s manager, Steven Victor, shared a clip from the studio of the late “Dior” rapper listening back to what we now know as “Something Special.”
