Carter Makes History As Youngest Female Artist To Ever Debut On Billboard Hot 100

JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter has broken her own sister Blue Ivy’s chart record.“Protector,” the mother-daughter collaboration from Bey’s Cowboy Carter album, debuted at No. 42 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 as material from the aforementioned project flooded the chart. Rumi is now the youngest ever female artist to appear on the Hot 100 at six years and nine months old She eclipses big sis Blue Ivy, who previously broke the record aged 7 when “Brown Skin Girl,” her Lion King: The Gift collaboration with Beyoncé, landed on the chart in 2019. However, as Billboard pointed out, Blue Ivy still remains the youngest artist to appear on any Billboard chart thanks to her cameo on dad JAY-Z’s “Glory” in 2012 (under the name “B.I.C.”). That song, released just days after she was born, peaked at No. 23 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and No. 63 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Rumi appears at the beginning of “Protector,” the fourth song on Beyoncé’s 27-track Cowboy Carter, and sweetly asks: “Mom, can I hear the lullaby please? A tender acoustic ballad, the song is about Bey’s love of her children and features lyrics such as: “I will lead you down that road if you lose your way/ Born to be a protector/ Even though I know someday you’re gonna shine on your own/ I will be your projector.” The heartfelt song immediately stirred an emotional response from fans following Cowboy Carter‘s release in late March.
