Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" rises 4-3 on the Hot 100, climbing 5-4 on Radio Songs with a 5% gain to 124 million and receding 3-4 on Digital Songs (145,000, down 6%). How big is "Bass"? The song is the highest-charting Hot 100 hit by a solo female rapper (without the aid of a featured artist) since Missy Elliott's "Work It" reached No. 2 in 2002.
