"Black Beatles"
Song

"Black Beatles" is a song by American hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd. It was released on September 13, 2016 by EarDrummers and Interscope Records as the third single from their second studio album SremmLife 2. The song features guest vocals from American rapper Gucci Mane, and is produced by Mike Will Made It. It is both Rae Sremmurd's and Gucci Mane's first number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100, and also marks their first top ten appearance in territories such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK.

Background

The song was one of the last tracks recorded and a big part of the reason for delaying the original June album release date.

Music video

On September 22, 2016, the music video for "Black Beatles" was released on Rae Sremmurd's Vevo account on YouTube. It was directed by Motion Family.

Commercial performance

"Black Beatles" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming both Rae Sremmurd's and Gucci Mane's first number one single and most successful of their careers. Notably, the song had already entered the top 20 of the US Billboard charts before its surge in performance following the "#MannequinChallenge". It also peaked at number 3 in Canada, making it Rae Sremmurd's and Gucci Mane's highest-peaking single there.

Usage in media

On October 26, 2016, the Mannequin Challenge went viral, which involves shooting footage of a crowd standing frozen in place, often using "Black Beatles" as background music.
