The Artist With The Most Billboard Hot 100 Hits This Year Is Ice Spice.

Ice Spice has already amassed more Billboard Hot 100 hits in 2023 than any other artist, solidifying her position as one of the year’s hottest stars.

The Bronx rapper, according to Chart Data, has had three No. 1 songs this year: “Karma” with Taylor Swift, which is currently at No. 2 on the chart; “Princess Diana” with Nicki Minaj, which peaked at No. 4; and “Boy’s A Liar” with PinkPantheress, which peaked at No. 3.

Her victories don’t end there. It was revealed last month that Ice Spice beat Nicki Minaj’s previous record. The hot Bronx rapper, according to Chart Data, received the most streaming debut for a female rapper on Spotify globally thanks to “Karma.”

The song received 5.036 million streams on the platform on its first day after being made available at the end of last month as a bonus track on Swift’s brand-new deluxe album Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition). This made “Karma” the top new entry and drove it to No. 5 on the global Spotify list.

Additionally, it contributed to Ice Spice’s best streaming day on Spotify to date, accounting for nearly half of her 10.5 million listens on May 26.

Prior until now, Nicki Minaj’s chart-topping single “Super Freaky Girl,” which debuted with 3.021 million plays after its release in August 2022, held the record for the largest streaming debut for a female rap song on Spotify.

In other Ice Spice news, her management just disclosed that all of her music is owned by the “Munch” rapper.

The Bronx native and her manager discussed their business savvy and climb to prominence on the May 11 cover of Billboard. They originally came onto the scene in August 2022.

Ice Spice was in a terrific position from the beginning thanks to the management of James Rosemond Jr., the son of renowned Hip Hop tycoon James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who managed The Game, Gucci Mane, and other artists.

“I was privy to a lot of his deal-making, and me being a sponge allowed me to soak up what contracts looked like and how to approach labels,” said Rosemond Jr. “[I told Ice] ‘Let’s do it ourselves first’ before labels even approached her. Deals were presented to her, including 360 and production deals, but I was aware that they might have been greater and that she would have had to go out and negotiate them herself.

After that, he retained a top entertainment attorney to help him negotiate the bidding war that quickly developed. This decision helped to set the tone for talks with 10K Records and Capitol Records during a dinner meeting that took place soon after the release of “Munch.”

“We weren’t just winging it. As we entered, we saw that, Rosemond Jr. remarked.

In the end, the agreement they reached allowed Ice Spice to retain creative control as well as ownership of her masters and publishing.

According to co-president of 10K Zach Friedman, “No one on the label side touches the music.” She doesn’t follow the conventional A&R model. No one is picking the beats or giving instructions. All of it is her. She has us on her schedule.
