When's the last time an Asian woman had a hit?

Jake Zyrus (formerly Charice Pempengco - Filipino) had a hit in 2010.

- “Pyramid” peaked at #56 on the Hot 100 and his album ‘Charice’ peaked at #6 on the BB200.

In case this isn’t clear to anyone (I had to read it a few times and then Google, so hopefully I’m saving someone some time), Jake Zyrus is a trans Asian man but at the time he had a hit, with the information we (the general) public had, we would have said he was an Asian woman. And yes, he’s the one who was on Glee (Rachel Berry sent his character to a crack house or something)

Is being extremely sexually direct the new trend? Pop Smoke and WAP are prime examples

You mean is being sexually direct becoming more mainstream. It's not really a trend if it has always been present and there are a multitude of Top 40 hits that are very direct in their language.

[kimberly]

what Linnethia Monique said. they're getting censored less though, and allowed more on the radio as the culture around what is considered "indecent" shifts. fuck the fcc tbh

It's the same with television. I've seen censoring be stripped back A LOT in recent years in what is both shown and written for the screen. 7PM on NBC I can see head being simulated like nothing.

I think you're on to something, Normi...
Don't recall too many other #1 songs championing analingis.

I'll have to check my old Connie Francis records.

The obsession is so real for someone they dislike. We get it. Just congratulate and not bring someone else up. And the comparisons of debuts are different times like..whew🙄

Yeah all they do is obsess over Mariah Carey, who had Eminem destroy her career and expose her. We should congratulate all artists, except 6ix9ine (for obvious reasons).

Mariah stays successful, booked, earning royalty checks left and right, getting some good lovin' from her hot young buff boyfriend, all the while being a skinny legend.

Jealous? I think you are. Keep Mariah's name out of your mouth sis.

It is nothing new. I am extremely glad this is happening. I can't wait for artists to be far more brazen and explicit about sex.

[Linnethia Monique]

I wonder how some of these geriatrics lived through 05-06. We had Top 40 hits that contained these hooks that we brazenly yelled out in school, the club, and everywhere else we could.

I was gettin some head
Gettin, gettin some head
I was gettin some head
Gettin, gettin some head

Ayy, bitch, wait til' you see my dick
Wait til' you see my dick
Ayy, bitch, wait til' you see my dick
I'ma beat that pussy up

Cum girl, I'm tryna get your pussy wet
Work that, lemme see you drip sweat
Cum girl, I'm tryna get your pussy wet

Girl give me that

Girl give me that (pussy)

If you are between the ages of 25-45 and WAP offends you I want to see your baptism certificate.

LISTEN. Why did they think they were gonna come out now and flip out? "All For You" intro??? 504 Boyz "I Can Tell" mannn we were boppin!

[jebsib]

I think the geriatrics had been exposed to Me So Horny and Easy E for several decades before the Ying Yang Twins.

Two wrongs don't make a right, though.

1968 says Hi!

"Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and I feel like a-lovin' you
Love, you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do"

Honestly, before things were so basic (blatant) - songwriters and artists had to be clever about the way they incorporate highly sexual lyrics. The above was a #4 hit disguised as 'bubblegum pop.' PLEASE.

As others have said, WAP is nothing groundbreaking or new that doesn't mean it isn't good or worthy of success.

Good grief Sheena Easton hit the Top 10 in 1985 with a Prince-penned song literally singing about her WAP!

"Come and feel my presence, it's raining tonight
Heaven on earth inside my sugar walls"

Fun Fact: Sugar Walls was #2 on almost-first lady Tipper Gore's Filthy Fifteen. Back when Democrats weren't so liberal.

You forgot "Candy Shop" ofcourse.

But yeah, there was oddly so many very sexual hits from 2005-2006 lmao. 112's "U Already Know" also comes to mind.

How many women of color have reached number one this year on the Hot 100? I have to think we are near a record.

Mariah, Doja Cat, Nicki, Meg, Bey, Cardi,(Ariana jk).

Off the top of my head, 1979 had one more so far (if you count the women in Chic separately): Luci Martin and Alfa Anderson of Chic, Gloria Gaynor, Amii Stewart, Peaches (of & Herb), Donna Summer, and Anita Ward

[tuna]

please please please can we give 24kGoldn and Conan Gray hits

[jebsib]

Don't forget Donna Summer and her orgasm!

Which ethnic group of ‘Asian Women’ are you referring too exactly?

West-Asian, South-Asian, East/South-East Asian?

In the last ten years:

• Jake Zyrus (formerly Charice Pempengco - Filipino) had a hit in 2010.

- “Pyramid” peaked at #56 on the Hot 100 and his album ‘Charice’ peaked at #6 on the BB200.

• Nicole Scherzinger (who is of Filipino descent on her Mother’s side) and her single “Right There” peaked at #39 on the Hot 100 in 2011.

• Jhene Aiko (who is of Japanese descent from her Mother’s side) had “B.S” peak at #24 ion the Hot 100 in 2019 and her biggest single to date “Post To Be” peaked at #11. She’s also had two top three BB200 peaking albums, one of which moved 100M streams in a week.

• M.I.A (who is Sri Lankan) peaked at #10 on the Hot 100 as part of Madonna’s Give Me All Your Lovin” in 2012.

Overall, I’d say the most successful Female artist to date of Asian descent is Paula Abdul which is unfortunate considering she peaked 30-35 years ago.

Whether she’s from Iran, India, Pakistan, Vietnam or Singapore, I hope we see an Asian Female solo act find consistent chart success someday soon.

Don't forget H.E.R. Her mom's a Filipina and she's talked about her heritage before so with 'Slide', a Filipina has a recent hit song

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

“Heather” is blowing up, and fast. Top 20 on Spotify & 30 on AM, growing fairly quickly on iTunes, too. WHERE is the pop impact date? Gotta be honest, I didnt expect this to be Conan Gray’s breakout hit, but that’s TikTok for ya.

Also expecting “you broke me first” to do well. Prepare for your parents to ask “is this Billie Eilish?” when they hear it.

[Enigma.]

Heather is pretty boring if you ask me, but that never stopped Lewis Capaldi!
