With her four Grammy Award® nominations (including Best New Artist and Record Of The Year), a shelf full of American Music Awards, ASCAP Pop and Rhythm & Soul Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, MTV VMAs from the U.S., Europe and Japan, Teen Choice Awards, and much more – Iggy Azalea owned 2014, as a result of her trifecta of worldwide #1 multi-platinum smash hits:
- “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX, 5x-platinum);
- “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora, 3x-platinum);
- “Problem” (collaboration with Ariana Grande, 6x-platinum)
Iggy Azalea exploded onto the charts and emerged as the breakout story of 2014. After a handful of early singles and buzzworthy mixtapes, she detonated charts worldwide when “Fancy” (featuring Charli XCX) rocketed to the top of the charts in over 20 territories, including 7 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, 16 weeks at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and 18 weeks at #1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.
“Fancy” was the longest-leading Hot 100 #1 hit by a female rapper, a new chart record. It was named Billboard’s 2014 Song of the Summer, iTunes Best Song of 2014, the year’s most-streamed song on Spotify, and the most-watched music video on Vevo.
While “Fancy” was still residing at #1 on the Hot 100, “Problem” – Iggy’s collab with Ariana Grande – peaked at #2. Iggy had made chart history again, this time as the first artist since the Beatles to rank at #1 and #2 simultaneously with their first two Hot 100 hits. Iggy’s winning streak continued with “Black Widow” (featuring Rita Ora) which rose to #1 on the Dance, Rhythmic, R&B/Hip-Hop, Rap, and Mainstream Top 40 charts, and #3 on the Hot 100.
Propelled by the back-to-back success of “Problem,” “Fancy” and “Black Widow,” The New Classic peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap Album charts, the first for an international female artist. Iggy Azalea’s videos have amassed over 2 billion combined views to date.
