Lol, it doesn't matter what the article says. Just know that they are CREDITED as the LEAD artists on the song. It's just the fact that it is Jessie's lead single. Had it been Nicki or Ariana's the article would have been the same but with one of their names in Jessie's spot.
It's Jessie's lead single, hence it "featuring" the other two. That doesn't change the credits. Let's not play semantics.
But if you wanna get into Billboard, get into the first line:
Quote:
Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj fly onto multiple airplay lists as the trio's "Bang Bang" bounds onto Pop Songs, Rhythmic Songs and Rap Airplay.
That was before the song was revealed as a joint single.
Billboard SIX days ago.
Quote:
High-profile single alert! "Bang Bang," from Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj, has been officially released after leaking online on Monday. Check out the bubbly new song below.
I mean, you're downplaying the accomplishment in general. Iggy already did it, and adding "as lead" to make it "more impressive" can make Iggy look even better.
"First Australian to occupy top two spots on the iTunes chart"
"First Female rapper to occupy top two spots on the iTunes chart"
Y'all barbs keep saying "OMFG HATERS ARE SO DAMN MAD" when you're provoking them by trying to downplay Iggy's accomplishments.
Just congratulate your fave instead of sitting here shading Iggy.
Not only on iTunes. The Hot 100 too, sweetie. Even more impressive
Some people simply don't understand that even though both Nicki and Iggy only contributed with 1 verse in each song, only one (Nicki) was smart enough to be called the 'lead' artist
Nicki contributed a verse, a bridge, and chorus work.
Roughly equal to the other girls.
It's already been stated.
