PLAYBOI CARTI REACHES #1 AT URBAN RADIO WITH “RATHER LIE FT. THE WEEKND”

Genre-defying rapper Playboi Carti recently reached #1 at Urban Radio with his song “Rather Lie Ft. The Weeknd”. A single off Carti’s critically acclaimed new album MUSIC, “Rather Lie” also hit #1 at Rhythm radio in July. MUSIC marks Carti’s second #1 album on the Billboard 200 Chart, selling over 298,000 album equivalents in its first week. With over 3 billion streams worldwide to date, MUSIC is the 9th highest rap album charting debut of all time. 

Critical acclaim of the album includes Rolling Stone calling it a “rap-reconfiguring album”, with Billboard crowning Carti as “one of the most distinctive voices in rap,” as well as NME naming him an “untouchable force.” All 30 tracks from the album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, making Carti the first rapper in history to chart 30 or more songs on the chart, joining Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen as only the third artist in history to ever achieve this incredible feat. Carti delivered a high energy medley performance at this year’s BET Awards, where he was also nominated. He previously performed at The GRAMMY Awards earlier this year with The Weeknd, and they are currently nominated for 3 MTV VMA’s for their collaboration “Timeless.”

Following the success of MUSIC, Playboi Carti will continue to ignite fans across the country with live performances and unique fan experiences on his headlining Antagonist Tour this fall. This is Playboi Carti’s first solo headline tour since 2021, where he took several cities by storm in support of his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart Whole Lotta Red including sold out shows at The Forum in LA, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and Red Rocks in Denver. Opening in Salt Lake City, UT on October 3, the tour will stop in major cities across the country including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, his hometown of Atlanta and more.
