Travis Scott’s ‘Know’ Goes to No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay Chart
Travis Scott reclaims the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart as “I Know ?” crowns the list dated Nov. 25. The single jumps from No. 3 after a 10% gain in plays that made it the most-played song on U.S. monitored rhythmic radio stations in the week ending Nov. 16, according to Luminate.
