With 2025 still unfolding, Doechii is making it clear she’s having a career-defining year. Fresh off her historic wins at the 67th GRAMMY Awards, the Southern rap sensation—born Jaylah Hickmon—has reached a new milestone on the Billboard Hot 100, proving yet again that she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Earlier this year, Doechii’s ‘Denial Is a River’—the breakout track from her album Alligator Bites Never Heal—soared to #21 on the Hot 100, marking her highest-charting song to date. The momentum didn’t stop there. Just weeks later, Billboard named her ‘Woman of the Year’, a title that now feels even more fitting as she continues her meteoric rise.

Her latest triumph? The Sleepy Hollow-sampled version of her song ‘Anxiety’, which debuted at #45 on this week’s Hot 100—her highest career opening yet. This surpasses her previous best, ‘Balloon’ featuring Tyler, the Creator, which entered at #56 in 2024.

While the collaboration version of ‘Anxiety’ is already making waves, industry insiders predict even bigger things for Doechii’s solo version of the song. Projections suggest that next week, it could debut just outside the top 10, giving her not only her highest debut ever but also her first top 20 placement on the all-genre chart.

With viral TikTok traction fueling her latest success, Doechii’s reign is far from over. Whether ‘Anxiety’ secures its predicted leap or not, one thing is certain—this is her year, and she’s just getting started.
