Breakthrough hip-hop duo, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis made music charts history earlier this week when they became the first duo to have their first two singles hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
According to Billboard, the Seattle-based collaborators cemented their place in charts history on Wednesday when their latest single, “Can’t Hold Us,” claimed the No. 1 spot, following the success of the duo’s first single, “Thrift Shop”, which hit No. 1 this past February.
For those in tune with what’s hot in popular music, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ second single’s rise to the top probably isn’t much of a shocker.
With a memorable hook that features the duo’s signature unique approach to the hip-hop genera, and an overall sound that seems to scream ‘summer anthem,’ it’s easy to see why “Can’t Hold Us” is currently on heavy rotation on Top 40 stations across the nation.
It also doesn’t hurt that the track is featured as the soundtrack to Microsoft’s new Outlook television commercials.
With two hit singles under their belt, and a third (“Same Love”) currently enjoying a respectable amount of play on alternative rock stations across the nation, it seems as though there really isn’t much that CAN hold this rap duo down!
