Wu-Tang Clan Earns 1st Billboard Charting Single In 16 Years Thanks To Logic

Logic enlisted the surviving members of Wu-Tang Clan — GZA, Cappadonna, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Masta Killa, Method Man, Raekwon, RZA and U-God — for the cut “Wu-Tang Forever” from his Young Sinatra IV project. Consequently, the legendary Hip Hop crew has earned their first Billboard charting single in 16 years.

While “Wu-Tang Forever” didn’t chart on Billboard’s Hot 100, it still hit No. 17 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales and No. 44 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales.

The track serves as their first group appearance on any Billboard chart since 2002. “Uzi (Pinky Ring)” made it to No. 16 on Hot Rap Songs in 2002 and claimed No. 93 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

According to Forbes, the Wu has two other singles that reached the Hot 100, which both come from 1993’s Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). “C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)” reached No. 60, while “Method Man” peaked at No. 69.

Logic’s Young Sinatra IV debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 this week, trailing behind Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V.

Logic Reveals Entire Wu-Tang Clan Will Appear On "Young Sinatra IV"

Logic’s upcoming album Young Sinatra IV is going to be a treat for Wu-Tang Clan fans. Although the LP’s tracklist hasn’t been unveiled yet, Logic has announced every Wu-Tang member will appear on the project.

“You know how sometimes you’re not supposed to give secrets about your album but then you tell everybody that you have the entire Wu-Tang Clan featured on your album,” he says in a video on social media.

Logic then begins to rattle off the names of the Wu-Tang members but doesn’t get very far. After naming GZA and RZA, the clip cuts off midway into mentioning Inspectah Deck’s name.

Young Sinatra IV is scheduled to drop on September 28. Logic originally announced the album in a freestyle over Method Man’s classic single “Bring The Pain.”

Logic’s upcoming LP is the fourth entry in his Young Sinatra series, but the first to be designated as a studio album. The previous three releases were mixtapes, which dropped in the years prior to his debut album Under Pressure.
