The two top 10 Hot 100 arrivals, “Creepin’ ” (with The Weeknd and 21 Savage) and “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” (with Future and Chris Brown) up Metro Boomin’s career top 10 total to four as a recording artist, and grant him his highest ranks. He previously reached the region with “Runnin,” with 21 Savage (No. 9 peak), and “Mr. Right Now,” with 21 Savage featuring Drake (No. 10), both in October 2020.

Diddy and Ginuwine featuring Loon, Winans and Tammy Ruggeri; No. 4 peak in 2002). Enya has earned two top 10s: “Only Time” (No. 10, in 2001) and “I Don’t Wanna Know.” Diddy has notched 15 top 10s, including five No. 1s.
