The song with Rumi’s guest appearance debuted at number 42 on the charts. Ranking is based on streaming numbers, airplay and sales. In its first week of release, “Protector” already garnered 11.3 million US streams. Never before has such a young artist achieved such numbers in the history of the Billboard Hot 100.

She debuted in 2019 at the age of seven in the song “Brown Skin Girl” from the album The Lion King: The Gift. The LP was a collaboration between her mother Beyoncé and SAINt JHN (37) and Wizkid (33). The song featuring Blue Ivy peaked at number 76 on the Hot 100.
