Lizzo’s Mixtape Fails To Chart — But She Does Score A New Top 10 Hit

Lizzo spent the first several months of 2025 releasing singles from her upcoming album Love in Real Life, which is still expected at some point this year. The rapper and singer shared a pair of tracks — “Love in Real Life” and “Still Bad” — but sadly, neither tune made any real commercial impact in the United States. So, the Grammy winner decided to change things up.

On June 27, Lizzo dropped a new mixtape titled My Face Hurts From Smiling. The project arrived with very little warning, as the singer-songwriter only revealed its existence a few days before it was released.

While the mixtape itself hasn’t proved to be a standout win, one track from the effort has become a hit.

Lizzo’s New Hit Song

“Leftright” appears to be the fan favorite from My Face Hurts From Smiling, as it’s the only tune featured on the brand new mixtape to appear on the Billboard rankings this week. The track opens at No. 10 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart and No. 12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tally.

Lizzo Earns Another Top 10 Sales Smash

“Leftright” marks Lizzo’s fourth career top 10 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart, a list that currently features only 10 positions. She ruled the tally for 16 weeks beginning in August 2019 with “Truth Hurts,” her breakout smash, which turned her into a household name more than half a decade ago.

Lizzo then returned to the top 10 on the roster of the bestselling rap tracks in the country with “Tempo,” a collaboration with Missy Elliott (No. 5 peak), and later with “Rumors” alongside Cardi B (No. 2).

“Leftright” Misses the Top 10 on Another Billboard List

Lizzo has enjoyed greater success on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales tally, which is longer, and therefore easier to reach. Throughout her career, the superstar has now earned a milestone 10 placements on the purchase-only ranking, including eight top 10s and four champions.

“Leftright” is one of only two tracks by Lizzo to fail to crack the top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales list. The other, “Cuz I Love You,” debuted and peaked at No. 14 in February 2020. That makes “Leftright” her second-lowest-charting title on the tally.

Lizzo’s New Mixtape Fails to Chart

Aside from “Leftright,” My Face Hurts From Smiling did not impact the Billboard charts. The mixtape doesn’t appear on any rankings dedicated to full-length projects, as it didn’t sell well enough or rack up enough streams to appear on tallies focused on those forms of consumption – nor does it show up on any lists that look exclusively at rap and hip-hop releases.
