North West scores her first Hot 100 song at 10
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Kim and Kanye's daughter is one of the youngest people to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
North West - the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - has just scored her first-ever hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
The 10-year-old features on Kanye's new song with Ty Dolla $ign called, 'Talking/Once Again'. The track features on the rappers' joint album, 'Vultures'.
North made a cameo in the music video, which was released on February 7. Kanye first played 'Talking/Once Again', which is often called 'Miss Westie', at a listening party in December 2023. The song went viral on TikTok before its official release.
It is now charting on the Hot 100 at #30 - beating Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign's 'Burn' and 'Vultures', which are at #33 and #34 respectively.

The highest new entry from the album is 'Carnival', which debuted at #3 behind Beyonce's 'Texas Hold 'Em' and Jack Harlow's 'Lovin' on Me'.
Both Kanye and Kim, who have three other children together - Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, took to social media to celebrate North's achievement.
"My baby," Kim captioned a screenshot of an X (Twitter) post highlighting her achievement. Kanye also shared the screenshot.

MORE FROM EAST COAST RADIO:
North is not the only celebrity child with a Hot 100 hit under her belt.
Beyonce's Blue Ivy featured on the chart in 2019. She was credited as a singer on Queen B's song, 'Brown Skin Girl' featuring Saint Jhn and Wizkid.
South African rapper Anatii co-wrote the song. Blue Ivy earned her first Grammy Award for the track at just nine years old.
North and Blue Ivy are following in their parents' musical footsteps. Sadly, Kim's music career did not take off as well as North's did.
In 2010, she released a song called, 'Jam (Turn It Up)'. It was wildly panned.
And here's a reminder of why...
