YNW Melly's 'Murder on My Mind' Tops On-Demand Streaming Songs Chart

YNW Melly’s “Murder on My Mind” continues its rise in streams amid the rapper’s incarceration due to two charges of first-degree murder, moving to No. 1 on Billboard’s On-Demand Streaming Songs chart and 4-3 on the overall Streaming Songs chart, both dated March 23.

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

The song reaches 35.8 million total streams in the week ending March 14, according to Nielsen Music, down 5 percent from the previous week (37.8 million).

However, the track’s count of on-demand audio streams (20.7 million) becomes the largest in the country for the week, marking the rapper’s first On-Demand Streaming Songs leader as it rises 2-1, toppling Jonas Brothers’ “Sucker” from the top spot. It’s YNW Melly’s first No. 1 on the list and comes with his first song to chart.

Additionally, the song’s return to No. 3 on Streaming Songs returns the track to its previous peak, initially achieved on the March 2-dated list.

20 spots below “Murder On My Mind,” another YNW Melly song reaches a new high on Streaming Songs, as “Mixed Personalities,” featuring Kanye West, vaults 31-23 (17 million).

On March 6, the rapper pleaded not guilty to the two counts of first-degree murder after authorities charged him in February with the fatal October shootings of two of his friends in Florida.
