Gunna has earned 100 Hot 100 entries as Pop It debuts at No. 55 on the Billboard chart. The milestone was reported on October 20, 2026, on the Billboard Hot 100 dated October 24, 2026, and it places one new single inside a much larger career story.
He is only the 25th artist in the 68 year history of the chart to reach 100 entries, and the fourth artist to do it in 2026 after J. Cole, Ariana Grande and Rod Wave. That context is what lifts a No. 55 debut into headline territory. Most songs that start at No. 55 come and go without a second thought. This one rewrites a career summary in a single week, because the number that matters here is not 55. It is 100, a total built across solo releases and guest appearances over years of steady chart presence, until the catalog itself became the story of the week.
The Numbers Behind Pop It
Pop It opened with 4.6 million US streams and 4.7 million radio audience impressions in its first week, with the figures reported by Luminate via Billboard for the tracking week of October 9 to 15. That balance matters. Streaming shows listeners choosing the song on demand in its first days, while radio impressions show programmers putting it in front of audiences who may not be searching for it yet. A debut that arrives with both sides working has more room to grow than a debut carried by only one. The radio start backs that up. Pop It reached No. 16 on Rap Airplay, No. 26 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and No. 29 on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay. They are starting points on three radio charts at the same time, giving the single several paths to climb in the weeks ahead.

That new chapter framing fits the timing. Pop It is not landing as a loose single with nothing behind it. It is the first release of an album cycle and the first release attached to a new label venture. The debut is a look back at everything before it and a launch point for what comes next, all in the same week.
The Long Road From 2018 To 100
Gunna’s Hot 100 run began in 2018 on Lil Baby’s Life Goes On, a guest appearance that started a sequence now standing at 100 entries. Looking back, that starting point says a lot about how the total was built. He did not arrive with one giant solo hit and disappear. He built presence through collaborations and solo records alike, stacking entries season after season until consistency itself became a headline achievement. His four top 10 hits show the high points of that run clearly. Drip Too Hard, Lemonade and Pushin P all reached the top 10, and Fukumean became a career best at No. 4. Four top 10s inside 100 total entries tells a balanced story. There are peak moments that casual listeners know by name, and there is a deep bench of charting records underneath them that kept his name on the Hot 100 between those peaks. That depth is what the 100 entry club rewards. It is not a prize for one song or one album cycle. It is a prize for showing up again and again, in different years, alongside different collaborators.
A New Chapter With Splurge And SB THE LABEL
Pop It was released on October 9 as the lead single from his forthcoming seventh studio album Splurge, which has no confirmed date. That detail should shape expectations correctly. This is the start of a rollout, not the finish line of one, and the 100th entry arriving at the start gives the album cycle a clear headline before a release date is even announced. The official video for Pop It, embedded above, features Coco Gauff and was directed by Spike Jordan. The launch also introduced his SB THE LABEL in partnership with Atlantic Records, with first signings Casper Bluff, Nechie and Dracc, per The FADER account cited in coverage. That move widens the story beyond his own chart total. He is marking 100 entries as an artist while also presenting himself as a label head introducing other artists, so the same release week carries both a personal record and a business debut. The scale of the club is worth stating plainly. Drake leads all artists with 407 entries, which shows how high the ceiling sits above the 100 mark. Reaching 100 does not end the chase. It puts Gunna inside a group of only 25 names in 68 years of chart history.
Where the story goes next depends on the work already in motion. Splurge still needs its date, SB THE LABEL still needs its first releases to land, and Pop It still needs to climb from a strong debut week into a longer chart run. None of that takes anything away from this week. A 100th Hot 100 entry is a permanent line in a career record, and it arrived with radio support, streaming support and a new album on the way.
