I know radio doesn’t matter much these these. But for example, I don’t listen to Lil Baby, but I know Drip Too Hard because that song was everywhere and unavoidable. My mom and most of the oldheads in my family have heard it because of the radio and they recognize it when it comes on.

What is youngboy’s signature hit song that everyone (outside of his target demographic) should know?

His following reminds me of a Boosie type of rapper’s following. But even Boosie had Wipe Me Down for the people unfamiliar with him or his music.

I feel like Outside Today got radio bump

I just re-looked up YB's Billboard Chart history...


This feature he had on Migos' 2020 hit "Need It" is YB's biggest overall radio hit:






But YB's biggest radio hit as a lead artist is his 2020 hit "Make No Sense":





Overall, looking at YB's chart history... his music definitely doesn't get much play nationally on radio. He's a streaming artist.
