Just outside the top 10, Lopez launches at No. 18 with "Booty." (Azalea and Pitbull each sport featured billing, as the latter is on the original version, while the former replaces his vocals and appears in the song’s video, released on Sept. 18, as well as on its newly-commercially-available remix.) The track, from Lopez’s album A.K.A., which debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 8 in July, bows with 92 percent of its Hot 100 points owed to streaming, as it rockets onto Streaming Songs at No. 3 with 9.2 million streams (up 1,487 percent); 96 percent of its streaming sum is from Vevo on YouTube clicks.
With her 28th Hot 100 hit, dating to her first, the five-week No. 1 "If You Had My Love," in 1999, Lopez scores her second-highest debut. The 2014 Billboard Icon Award winner began at a better rank only with "On the Floor," also featuring Pitbull, which started at No. 9 and flew to a No. 3 peak in 2011.
"Booty," easily the highest-charting Hot 100 entry from A.K.A. ("I Luh Ya Papi," featuring French Montana, and "First Love" peaked at Nos. 77 and 87, respectively) marks Lopez’s highest rank since "Dance Again," another pairing with Pitbull, reached No. 17 in May 2012.
