Critics who wrote Latto off after the mega-success of her 2021 breakthrough single, ‘Big Energy,’ are in for a big disappointment thanks to her new song ‘Lottery.’

Featuring Canadian singer-songwriter LU KALA, the Dr. Luke-produced bop was released February 17 and is already well on its way to hitting a commercial jackpot for its lead performer.

See how inside.

Peruse of the refreshed Hot 100 shows ‘Lottery’ printed in a premiere position of #83 – coming as the week’s second-highest female debut (behind Lizzy McAlpine‘s ‘Ceilings‘).

Here are the numbers that powered Latto’s placement.

• Streaming ≈ 4.2 million U.S.-based streams
• Digital Downloads ≈ 1,200 sold
• Radio Airplay ≈ 7.2 million audience impressions

A milestone entry for both its performers, the song comes as the first time Lu Kala’s seen her name on the U.S. hitlist

For Latto, the tune’s arrival comes as her highest Hot 100 opening to date – besting 2022’s ‘Budget‘ (led by Megan Thee Stallion) as the previous titleholder.
