On 16 May 2020, a remix of “Say So”, featuring Doja Cat (real name: Amalaratna Dlamini) of the US and Nicki Minaj of Trinidad & Tobago (real name: Onika Maraj) went to No.1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. This was the first time a female rap duo had made a mark on the countdown, and “Say So” was the first US No.1 single for both hit-makers. This achievement makes Nicki Minaj a three-time Guinness Record holder, her previous awards being for other music victories. “Say So” went No.1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100, making it Doja Cat’s first Guinness record. The song had a grand performance as it jumped to No.1 from No.6 the previous week after the remix dropped. With that, Minaj earned her 109th Hot 100 entry. According to Guinness World Records, no other artistes had amassed that many hits on the US Singles Chart before reaching the top, up to May 16 2020. The World Records official website stated that Justin Bieber previously held the record after reaching No. 1 with “What Do You Mean?” on September 19. 2015. “Say So” remix is co-written by Dlamini and produced by Tyson Trax aka Lukasz “Dr Luke” Gottwald and is also the fifth song on Doja Cat’s 2019 album ‘Hot Pink’.
