Megan Thee Stallion’s “Thin Ice” Streams Jump 152%

Megan Thee Stallion saw daily U.S. on-demand streams for “Thin Ice” rise 152% between October 24 and 26.

According to Billboard’s report on Luminate data, the freestyle drew 98,000 streams Saturday, 174,000 Sunday and 247,000 Monday.

It reached streaming services October 24 after starting on YouTube. The three daily totals added up to about 519,000 streams over that stretch.

“Thin Ice” sampled the intro to Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff” and joined her Tina Tuesday freestyle series. The song had not entered the Hot 100 when Billboard reported the increase.

The official performance arrived on Megan’s YouTube channel on October 20 and ran two minutes and 27 seconds.

By October 28, the upload had more than 10.9 million views. That video counter covered a different period from the three days of streaming figures.

Megan told Marie Claire she had spent the summer recording and rewriting Act III after missing her intended summer release window.

Her new music also followed a change in the business behind her releases.

On August 14, Megan announced a partnership with Interscope Records that gave her access to its worldwide distribution and other support while she kept ownership of her masters and publishing.

Her company, Hot Girl Productions, remained home to her music.

She regained that control after a long fight with her former label.

As AllHipHop previously reported, she signed with Carl Crawford’s 1501 Certified Entertainment in 2018 and sued the company in 2020. The two sides settled and separated in October 2023. They did not make the settlement terms public.

Hot Girl Productions had already released “Cobra” in November 2023 when Warner Music Group announced its agreement with Megan in February 2024.

Warner counted “HISS” as her second solo release through her own company. Radio promotion and marketing were among the services available under that deal. She kept control of her recordings, publishing and creative direction.

The agreement also let Megan use Warner’s network for other acts on her imprint.

“I’ve always wanted to create music on my terms while building a legacy that extends beyond the industry,” Megan said in her Interscope announcement.
