Megan Thee Stallion's 'Thin Ice' Streams Jump 152% to 247K a Day After Leaving YouTube

Megan Thee Stallion's "Thin Ice" is picking up speed now that it has left YouTube. Daily US on-demand streams for the Tina Tuesday freestyle rose 152% from Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, to Monday, Oct. 26, topping out at 247,000 in a day, according to Billboard's Luminate figures as reported by AllHipHop on Oct. 29.

The jump came right after the freestyle reached streaming services on Oct. 24, four days after it premiered as a video on Megan's official YouTube channel.

What we know

• The stream count, day by day: 98,000 US on-demand streams on Saturday, Oct. 24, then 174,000 on Sunday, Oct. 25, then 247,000 on Monday, Oct. 26, per Luminate data cited by AllHipHop. That adds up to about 519,000 streams across the three days.
• The rollout: The video went up on Megan's YouTube channel on Tuesday, Oct. 20, as "Thin Ice - Tina Tuesday Freestyle" (YouTube). It hit DSPs on Oct. 24, AllHipHop reports.
• YouTube views: The upload passed 10.9 million views by Oct. 28, according to AllHipHop, which notes that the view count covers a different window than the streaming numbers.
• No Hot 100 entry yet: The song had not entered the Billboard Hot 100 when Billboard reported the increase, per AllHipHop.
• The sample: Buddah Bless produced the track, and it samples Limp Bizkit's 1999 hit "Break Stuff," per RTTNews and My Kiss Radio. The intro uses slowed Fred Durst vocals from the band's Significant Other album.
• The video: Megan raps in a warehouse, dressed in all black with a platinum-blonde wig, per RTTNews. AllHipHop puts the official performance at 2:27.
• Where it fits: "Thin Ice" is the third Tina Tuesday freestyle. The first, in late September, reworked Mike Jones' "Still Tippin," and the second, "Is You Cool?," arrived Oct. 6, per My Kiss Radio.

Context

The Tina Tuesday series brings back Tina Snow, the alter ego from Megan's 2018 EP of the same name, and it doubles as the warm-up for MEGAN ACT III. There is still no release date for the album, per RTTNews. Megan told Marie Claire she spent the summer recording and rewriting the project after missing the release window she wanted, AllHipHop notes.

The numbers matter because this was supposed to be a teaser. A freestyle that started as a YouTube-only drop grew its daily streams two days in a row once it hit DSPs. AllHipHop says the figures come from Billboard's report on which Halloween songs are leading the streaming race, so Megan's freestyle made a Billboard data story built around "Thriller" season. For scale, her last album, Megan, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in 2024 with 64,000 album-equivalent units, per Luminate via My Kiss Radio.

It's been a busy October for her. She made her runway debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 18 and brings her Hottieween party back to Zouk nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday, Oct. 30, per My Kiss Radio. That's the same day BigXthaPlug drops his album; here's the tracklist and features for 'Better Over Time'.

What's unconfirmed

• Where "Thin Ice" sits on Spotify's own US daily chart. We could not open Spotify's chart page to check a placement, so we are not reporting one.
• Whether "Thin Ice" or any other Tina Tuesday freestyle will make the MEGAN ACT III tracklist has not been announced.

Should Megan put "Thin Ice" on ACT III, or keep the Tina Tuesday freestyles as their own thing? Tell us.
