This counts as Migos’ first ever No. 1 song; their previous high was “Fight Night,” which reached No. 69 and earned the ATL trio a gold plaque. Lil Uzi Vert, who is featured on the track, can count “Bad and Boujee” as his first No. 1 song as well. Same for producer Metro Boomin. What a way to ring in the New Year from all involved.
