April was a busy month around Atlanta; the Hawks made the NBA Playoffs, but were ousted by the New York Knicks, the Braves sit in first place in the NL East and Cardi B closed out her Little Miss Drama Tour with a pair of sold-out shows at State Farm Arena.
Billboard launched the inaugural strip club chart last August and will continue to track the top tracks played monthly at four prominent Atlanta strip clubs.
For those new around here, Billboard joined forces with DJ Monitor, a service that installs music-recognition technology for venues and festivals, along with a contribution from Coalition DJs, to collect data from different Atlanta strip clubs.
There was more change than usual on the strip club chart for April, which welcomes newcomers Fatt Smaxk, HoneyKomb Brazy and Trim to shake things up. However, Belly Gang Kushington and YKNIECE extended their run atop the throne for a fifth non-consecutive month thanks to the “Friend Do (Remix).”
As far as the artists who had the most real estate on Atlanta strip club playlists for March, the top 10 goes as follows:
No. 10, Sexyy Red (98)
No. 9, Fatt Smaxk (101)
No. 8, Moneybagg Yo (103)
No. 7, Drake (112)
No. 6, Metro Boomin (125)
No. 5, Gucci Mane (162)
No. 4, Jeezy (224)
No. 3, Lil Baby (264)
No. 2, BossMan Dlow (308)
No. 1, Future (505)

-
DaBaby, “Pop Dat Thang” (32 Plays)
Last Month: No. 6
Peak: No. 4
“Pop Dat Thang” may have fallen to No. 10 here, but it’s continuing to pick up momentum on prominent charts, which saw DaBaby’s comeback hit reach a new peak of No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and top the Hot Rap songs chart for the week of May 16. Baby recruited Yung Miami, YKNIECE and GloRilla for the official remix on May 8.
-
HoneyKomb Brazy, “Bird Doo Doo” (33 Plays)
Last Month: N/A
Peak: No. 9
HoneyKomb Brazy was sentenced to 30 months behind bars in early 2025, but appeared to regain his freedom by securing an early release in October after spending nearly two years in jail. “Bird Doo Doo” arrived in March and picked up steam in April, infiltrating Atlanta strip clubs to earn him his first entry on the chart at No. 9.
-
Fatt Smaxk, “Smaxk or Die” (33 Plays)
Last Month: N/A
Peak: No. 8
Formerly known as Hardnard, Fatt Smaxk has the Atlanta streets going up, and a pair of songs from his Smaxk Season 2 project have taken off and infiltrated the city’s strip club scene (more on that later). “Smaxk or Die” comes in at No. 8 for Smaxk’s first chart entry. It appears this is only the start of Smaxk season, as the rapper reportedly notched a deal with Atlantic Records earlier in May.
-
Bally Baby & Belly Gang Kushington, “Hustlin Mf Pt. 2” (33 Plays)
Last Month: No. 4
Peak: No. 4
Bally Baby and Belly Gang Kushington’s “Hustlin Mf Pt. 2” jumped from No. 8 to a peak of No. 4 in March, but dropped to a tie for the No. 7 slot in April. Belly Gang Kushington has been a staple on the strip club chart and his remix gave Bally Baby’s “Hustlin Mf” original a lift to stay in rotation at ATL strip clubs in 2026.
-
Gunna feat. Burna Boy, “wgft” (34 Plays)
Last Month: No. 3
Peak: No. 3
Gunna and Burna Boy’s “wgft” has been a strip club chart mainstay. However, after reaching a peak of No. 3 in March, it slipped to No. 6 in April. Chris Brown hopped on the remix in January to revive the track commercially, which peaked inside the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20, but has since fallen off the chart.
-
Trim feat. Pooh Shiesty, “BOAT (Remix)” (35 Plays)
Last Month: N/A
Peak: No. 5
Trim brings some new blood to the strip club chart. The South Carolina rapper’s been one of the bright spots in rap’s new generation. She recruited Pooh Shiesty for “BOAT (Remix),” which debuts in the No. 5 slot, but it will be interesting to see how Atlanta strip club DJs react to the Memphis rhymer being arrested for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint in April.
-
T.I., “Let ‘Em Know” (37 Plays)
Last Month: No. 2
Peak: No. 1
T.I. represented for the rap veterans when he notched the first gold plaque for a song to be released in 2026 with “Let ‘Em Know.” The Pharrell-produced cut previously reached No. 1 on the strip club chart and retreats to No. 4 for April. The enduring hit has boasted staying power, as “Let ‘Em Know” remains at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of May 16, nearly four months after entering the chart, which marked his first entry in over a decade.
-
BossMan Dlow, “Nothin Like Me” (38 Plays)
Last Month: N/A
Peak: No. 3
BossMan Dlow has consistently made the cut when it comes to total artist’s spins in Atlanta strip clubs, but has had a tough time having one specific track stick in the top 10. “Nothin Like Me,” which landed on Dlow’s Chicken Talkin Bastard project last month, explodes to No. 3, while the Florida rapper came in at No. 2 for total artist plays for the month of April.
-
Fatt Smaxk, “Butta B” (43 Plays)
Last Month: N/A
Peak: No. 2
Fatt Smaxk came out of nowhere to assert his dominance on the strip club chart. The rapper formerly known as Hardnard spins the block for a second entry with “Butta B” debuting at No. 2 for April. The strip club is where tracks traditionally popped off and as “Butta B” continued to flood the streets of Atlanta, it’s only right that the club DJs caught on and added it into their rotations. In a rarity, this wasn’t TikTok’s doing. We’ll see where Smaxk goes from here after performing a sold-out show in Atlanta and picking up co-signs from Lil Baby and Playboi Carti.
-
Belly Gang Kushington feat. YKNIECE, “Friend Do (Remix)” (44 Plays)
Last Month: No. 1
Peak: No. 1
What else is left to say for Belly Gang Kushington and YKNIECE’s “Friend Do (Remix)?” The scorching remix usurped the throne from T.I. in March and is back on top for April, which marks the track’s fifth non-consecutive month at the summit. We’ll see if they can keep it up heading into the summer.
