In a surprising development that’s capturing attention across the music world, North West, the 11-year-old daughter of Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Kim Kardashian, has made her mark on the Billboard charts with her latest collaboration. Teaming up with FKA Twigs on the track “Childlike Things,” North has debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart—a remarkable achievement for someone so young and without the direct involvement of her famous father.
While many at her age are still exploring their interests, North West is carving out her own path in the music industry, already experiencing commercial success that many aspiring artists can only dream of. With “Childlike Things,” North has not only made her debut on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart but has also marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning music career.
FKA Twigs recruited North for this latest project, and together they have achieved the highest debut on this newly introduced Billboard chart, which has quickly gained traction since its launch. Notably, North is not only making waves on this chart; she has previously appeared on several others, showcasing her potential as a rising star.
Though this is her first appearance on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, it’s not North’s first taste of Billboard success. Just a year ago in February 2024, she made headlines by collaborating with her father and Ty Dolla $ign in a supergroup called ¥$. Their track “Talking” debuted and peaked at No. 12 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and reached No. 30 on the all-encompassing Hot 100. The song also enjoyed considerable success on various streaming charts, peaking at No. 7 on the Rap Streaming Songs chart.
North’s latest venture is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights her ability to stand on her own in the music industry, separate from her father’s immense legacy. With “Childlike Things,” she is proving to be more than just a celebrity kid; she is emerging as a legitimate artist in her own right.
As North West continues to navigate the complexities of fame and artistry at such a young age, her journey is closely watched by fans and critics alike. With her undeniable talent and connections in the industry, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for this young artist as she continues to break boundaries and establish her identity.
