After seven weeks in the peak position, Azalea made history on the Billboard Hot 100 as "Fancy" rewrote the record for the longest-leading #1 by a female rapper. Azalea made chart history again as the first artist since The Beatles to rank at #1 and #2 simultaneously with her first two Hot 100 hits. "Fancy" was dubbed 2014's "Song Of The Summer," and has been covered by everyone from "Saturday Night Live" to Jimmy Fallon to Weird Al Yankovic. Azalea's debut album, The New Classic, peaked at #1 on the Billboard Rap Album charts, a first for an international female artist. Her single, "Black Widow" featuring Rita Ora, has gone double-platinum and went to #1 on Billboard's Top 40 Airplay chart.
