SAINt JHN has been celebrating a legion of new fans after his four-year-old song "Roses" was revived on social media after a remix by an underground Kazakhstan-based producer went viral, helping him get the record to Billboard Hot 100's Top 10.
For the first time in his career, SAINt JHN has gotten a single in the Top 10 of the chart as a lead artist. The Brooklyn artist has written songs for Rihanna, Usher, Jidenna, Beyoncé, and more but, as a solo artist, he has not seen the same success as the musicians he's helped out with his pen game. Now, he surprisingly can celebrate a new achievement with a song he had likely never expected to take off like this.

Fresh off the official remix with Future, SAINt JHN is cradling his head in his hands after "Roses" marked #10 on this week's edition of the Billboard Hot 100.
The track's popularity has been bolstered through a remix by Imanbek, who released the remix after attempting to reach JHN on Instagram. He did not receive a reply and, shortly after the song's release, it blew up on Tik Tok.
"Wow," wrote SAINt JHN on Twitter, reacting to his feat.
This week's chart also saw DaBaby earn his first-ever #1 record with "ROCKSTAR," marking Roddy Ricch's second time at the top after "The Box's" early success.

That’s legendary shit. We should never be afraid to do the right thing,” he explained. “I’m donating 125k across bail funds and black-owned businesses affected right now. #BlackLivesMatter Periodt.”

Future Spoils Lori Harvey For Valentine’s Day
Future set up an extravagant display of roses in Lori Harvey's new home to surprise her when she woke up on Valentine's Day.
Despite keeping their relationship a secret for weeks at the end of last year, Future and Lori Harvey can't hide their love for one another anymore, going all-out for their first Valentine's Day as a couple. Lori Harvey just bought herself a brand new mansion in Los Angeles and, upon waking up, she can't have known what her rapper boyfriend would pull off. She posted a video on her Instagram Story to detail all that Future Hendrix planned out for her.

Walking down the stairs in the interior of her new home, a single rose was placed on each step until Lori reached the ground floor and walked into a beautiful display of flowers, set up by Future. "What I just woke up to," wrote the model, showing off the candle-lit display with hundreds of rose petals and bouquets elaborately designed in the room. Clearly, Future put in some hard work for their first V-Day together, perhaps envisioning many more as a couple.
At the start of their union, Future and Lori Harvey were both very tight-lipped about the nature of their hang-outs. They remained silent until the release of "Life Is Good," which brought about the confirmation of their love with a steamy photo upload in the pool.
Meek Mill Fuels Milano Dating Rumours After Buying Dozens Of Roses For Mystery Woman
He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Meek Mill is definitely playing us at this point, and having a blast doing it. Rumours about Meek’s possible relationship with fashion designer Milan Harris, known as Milano, have been circulating for what feels like forever, and the rapper seems to be well aware of just how desperate the public is to know the truth about them. He’s been having fun messing with his fans about where he and Milano stand, even intentionally misleading them to believe that he’s the father of Milano’s unborn child after they were seen attending the Bad Boys For Life premiere together. After seemingly indicating he was the man who impregnated Milano by tweeting, “Yeah I dumped in that,” he clarified what he meant by “dump” all the while calling Milano a “queen” and admitting that he “love[s] getting on social media people nerves.”
However, the rumoured couple were caught red-handed on Wednesday after some keen observers noticed a few matching details in both Meek and Milano’s social media content. It seemed like these solid clues meant that the two of them could not deflect from the constant questions about their relationship any longer, but Meek has continued his teasing and tricks with his latest IG post.
On Friday, Meek posted a photo of the backseat of his car on Instagram, in which dozens of bouquets of roses can be seen piled up to the roof in the trunk of his car. Meek captioned the photo, “She like flowers ??♂️……” but did not, of course, specify who “she” is. There’s no way he didn’t realize how much attention a vague caption like this would garner, making it seem like the man is just having the time of his life driving everyone crazy. It’d come as quite a shock if either Meek or Milano ever confessed to their relationship, unless “she” is a different mystery woman with an affinity for flowers…
