Metro’s run continues through spooky season.
Metro Boomin’
Jimmy Lin
Strip clubs wrapped up spooky season when the calendar turned to November, and there were plenty of tricks and treats to go around for clubgoers throughout October.
Billboard launched the first strip club chart in August and will continue to track the top songs played monthly at three prominent Atlanta strip clubs for the foreseeable future.
For those new here, Billboard teamed up with DJ Monitor, a service that installs music-recognition technology for venues and festivals, along with a contribution from the Coalition DJs, to collect data from the three Atlanta-based strip clubs.
Metro Boomin’s A Futuristic Summa dominance continued into the fall as Young Metro has been a staple on our strip club chart for its first three months, where he once again holds the top two slots.
There are also a few newcomers, as Cardi B, who got her start at gentlemen’s clubs as a dancer. Young Thug makes his first appearance as a lead artist along with YFN Lucci, who was released from prison in January.
As far as artists who enjoyed the most spins in the strip club for October, the top 10 is as follows:
- No. 10, Gunna (259)
- No. 9, Gucci Mane (293)
- No. 8, Cardi B (302)
- No. 7, Moneybagg Yo (329)
- No. 6, Young Thug (335)
- No. 5, Jeezy (344)
- No. 4, Bossman Dlow (377)
- No. 3, Lil Baby (436)
- No. 2, Metro Boomin (533)
- No. 1, Future (1,184)

“Walk Down” landed on Young Thug’s comeback UY SCUTI album in September. 21 Savage and Thugger take turns dancing in the ring, but it’s 21 that lands the ultimate KO to hold up the championship belt on the menacing track, which boasts samples from a pair of Memphis titans in Project Pat and Kingpin Skinny Pimp.
