This is just one more big win for Blue Ivy, who holds the title as the youngest person to ever appear on a Billboard chart due to her feature on her dad Jay-Z's 2012 song "Glory." Recently, her younger sister Rumi Carter broke her record as the youngest female artist to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, thanks to her feature on Beyoncé's song, "Protector."
Blue Ivy also remains the youngest person to receive a BET Award after winning the Her Award for "Brown Skin Girl."
Of course, she's following in her mother's footsteps.
