\n\t\u201cWhat You Need,\u201d released and promoted through Since 93\/RCA Records, takes the summit from Rick Ross, French Montana and Max B\u2019s \u201cMinks in Miami,\u201d which slips to No. 5 after its week in charge.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the new champ, Tems claims a fourth Mainstream R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay No. 1. She first topped the list in a featured role on Wizkid\u2019s \u201cEssence,\u201d a 10-week leader in 2021, and followed with a pair of chart-toppers in 2022: First, when she and Drake guested on Future\u2019s \u201cWait for U,\u201d which coasted to a then-record 16 frames in charge, and via her own \u201cFree Mind\u201d and its two-week reign.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, \u201cWhat You Need\u201d improves 23-16 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart, winning the Greatest Gainer honor as the song with the biggest increase in plays for the week. Thanks to its might at the mainstream R&B\/hip-hop and adult R&B formats, the track holds at No. 3 on the R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from both formats. There, despite no rank change, \u201cWhat You Need\u201d gained 12% in weekly audience, to 13.1 million for the latest tracking week.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe joint improvements, in turn, fuel the song\u2019s ascent on the all-genre Radio Songs chart, where it rises 39-32 with 16 million in audience (up 12%).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to \u201cWhat You Need,\u201d Tems enjoys a second rising title in the radio world, \u201cRaindance,\u201d a collaboration with Dave. The teamup lifts 7-6 on Rap Airplay, 9-8 on Rhythmic Airplay, 17-14 on R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay, 17-16 on Mainstream R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay, and 43-37 on Radio Songs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat You Need\u201d is from Tems\u2019 latest EP, Love is a Kingdom<\/em>, which was released in November 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
