Wilson shared with Billboard, “I had to do a double take seeing our song on top with Bruno Mars, Beyonce, and Lizzo. Despite the odds there really is no stoppin’ us O.G.’s,” states Wilson.
The last song with four or more credited acts to come close was Kirk Franklin’s “Lean on Me,” featuring Mary J. Blige, Bono, R. Kelly, Crystal Lewis & The Family, which reached No. 2 in 1999.
Michael Paran, President and CEO of Parandise/P Music Group shared with Billboard, “The greatest satisfaction is that for the first time I’ve released and promoted a record with four of my clients at the same time. Having these legends together and capture a No. 1 is a historic moment for us.”
“No Stoppin’ Us” interpolates McFadden & Whitehead’s “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now,” which reached No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart in 1979. “No Stoppin’ Us,” marks Wilson’s 11th song on this chart’s top 20, Babyface’s 10thhit, Gill’s 5th and Hailey’s 2nd.
Charlie Wilson is slated to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023.
