Latto recently released her debut album 777, and she’s also celebrating a new achievement as her “Big Energy” remix with Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled hits No. 1 on the United States iTunes chart.
This is the Atlanta artist’s first No. 1 hit which occurred in under 24 hours after she released the remix on Monday, March 28. Latto is also celebrating the album topping the US iTunes chart.
The song is a sample of Tom Tom Club’s 1981 single, “Genius Of Love,” which was also sampled by Mariah Carey in “Fantasy.”
In a Billboard interview, the rapper spoke about “Big Energy” hitting No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2021, giving her the highest-charting song of her career.
“I basically took this masculine, trendy ‘big d–k energy’ quote from Twitter and made it a thing where all genders can have ‘big energy’ and take it deeper than just [something] sexual,” Latto had said about the original song last year.
In the meantime, Latto also shared on Twitter that she became emotional seeing the success of her album.
She shared a screenshot of herself teary-eyed with an unnamed person who told her, “Everything fall in place, nobody can’t stop [you].”
Latto describes working with Mariah Carey as a nerve rocking experience for her.
“I was sooooo nervous I was like what do I say y’all lol but the conversation just floweddd she was so genuine and I definitely was overthinking. We was sipping on her liquor Black Irish & just kicking it fr #BigEnergyRemix,” she said in response to a question asked by a follower on Twitter.
