Nicki Minaj is back with yet another major hit, as her new single for the Barbie movie scores the highest debut of this week on the Hot 100. The track not only helps her land another win on the tally but also moves her up on an important all-time ranking, allowing her to match one of the greatest musicians of all time.

"Barbie World" debuts on this week's Hot 100 at No. 7, making it the only new entrant inside the highest tier on the tally. This placement holds significant meaning for Minaj. According to Billboard, the song marks her twenty-third top 10 hit in the U.S., solidifying her position as one of the artists with the greatest accumulations of chart-topping hits in history.

With another new Hot 100 top 10 to her credit, Minaj ties Whitney Houston for the most placements inside the highest tier among female artists. This achievement showcases her incredible talent and influence in the music industry. Furthermore, she has the potential to continue her advance and improve her standing while many of her predecessors remain steady.

Currently leading the way among all female artists in terms of top 10 hits is Taylor Swift, who has amassed an impressive 40 chart-toppers. Swift's most recent album, "Midnights," alone contributed 10 new top 10 hits to her collection. Behind her come music icons such as Madonna with 38, Rihanna with 32, Mariah Carey with 28, and Janet Jackson with 27. Given Minaj's trajectory, she could potentially tie Janet Jackson's record before the end of the year, particularly since she has a new album slated for release in late 2023, which will likely yield new singles.

While "Barbie World" is a new track, it heavily samples Aqua's hit "Barbie Girl." As a result, the band is credited on the just-released cut, adding to their legacy. This collaboration grants Aqua their second top 10 hit on the Hot 100, the first in a quarter-century. Additionally, the smash features Ice Spice, who notches her fourth top 10 on the ranking and second collaboration with Minaj.
