Kanye West's 'Carnival' Poised To Reach No. 1 On Hot 100

Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston

Ye West, formerly known as Kanye, is making a successful comeback in the music industry despite facing various controversies. His latest single 'Carnival,' featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid, and Playboi Carti, is gaining momentum and is predicted to reach the number one spot on the Hot 100 chart.

Currently, 'Carnival' holds the second position on the Hot 100, trailing behind Beyoncé's 'Texas Hold ‘Em.' However, chart predictors suggest that Ye's track is likely to claim the top spot in the upcoming Billboard refresh.

If 'Carnival' secures the number one position, it will mark Ye West's first chart-topper in over a decade. His last number one hit was in 2010 with Katy Perry on 'E.T.' and as a featured artist on Twista's 'Slow Jamz' more than 20 years ago.

Ye West's journey to the top of the Hot 100 includes hits like 'Gold Digger' and 'Stronger,' with the latter being his only solo leader on the chart to date. For his collaborators, a potential number one with 'Carnival' would be a significant achievement, especially for Ty Dolla $ign, who previously reached the top spot with 'Psycho' alongside Post Malone in 2018.
