Doechii has several singles performing well around the globe at the moment, with both a relatively new tune and one that was first released more than half a decade ago. While “Denial is a River” is one focus, the years-old cut “Anxiety” has found new life after being properly released to streaming platforms, and it’s now performing better than ever. This week, “Denial is a River” flows upward in more ways than one, and it even earns the newly-crowned Grammy winner her first set of champions on multiple rankings the United Kingdom.
“Denial is a River” Debuts at No. 1
In its latest frame, “Denial is a River” arrives on a pair of tallies in the U.K., and it doesn’t just sneak in. The track opens at No. 1 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts. That double win gives Doechii her first leaders on the two lists. It also happens to mark her debut appearance on the tallies.
Doechii is Rising on the Charts
As it launches at the top on two purchase-only tallies, “Denial is a River” is also enjoying general growth across several other U.K.-based rankings. The tune climbs from No. 9 to No. 7 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. At the same time, on the country’s most competitive list – the Official Singles chart — the track moves north as well, rising from No. 94 to No. 86.
“Denial is a River” also reappears on the Official Singles Sales chart, where it hits a new peak of No. 25.
“Denial is a River” is Doechii’s Latest Smash
Featured on Alligator Bites Never Heal, “Denial is a River” is one of the standouts of Doechii’s career. The track helped introduce a wider audience to the rapper’s genre-blending style and lyrical confidence, and in the months since it arrived, it’s helped turn her into one of the hottest new stars in the music industry. A must-see live performance at the Grammy Awards a few weeks back only added fuel to the fire.
“Anxiety” Continues to Soar
While “Denial is a River” may be a brand new No. 1 on a pair of charts, it’s not Doechii’s only major win in the U.K. at the moment. A track titled “Anxiety,” which was originally released more than five years back, has suddenly turned into one of the rapper’s biggest hits after she shared it to streaming sites and download platforms only a short time ago.
“Anxiety” is still living inside the top 10 on both streaming and sales tallies in the U.K. On the Official Singles chart, it slips just one spot this week, from its all-time high of No. 3 to No. 4. British listeners are still just discovering the track, and in many cases, Doechii herself.
