Coco Jones‘ single “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” is No. 1 for a third consecutive week on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart.
The Lenny Williams-sampling song is the first song released by a woman in 2024 to top this airplay chart for at least three weeks. The last woman at No. 1 was Muni Long with “Ruined Me,” which had a two-week run.
Notably, Mary J. Blige‘s standalone single, “Still Believe in Love,” featuring Vado, climbed to No. 1 and remained there for seven weeks in 2024, having initially topped the chart in late 2023. The optimistic song held its title at the top for a total of eight consecutive weeks.
Jones’ “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” first reached the No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay list in the Dec. 15 issue. It marked her very first chart-topper on this chart. It also is her leader at R&B radio.

Prior to this, Jones nearly secured the pole position with her breakout single, “ICU,” which ultimately peaked at No. 2. However, this did not prevent the Camper-produced track from earning Jones her first Grammy award.
In 2025, “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” is up for two 2025 Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. Jones shares the latter nomination with the song’s co-writers and producers, Wu10 and Cardiak.
“I think the music inspired the song concept because I feel like with the sample, it feels like this orchestra and like a mystery,” Jones exclusively told Rated R&B of the track that samples Lenny Williams’ 1978 classic, “Cause I Love You.”
She added, “[It’s] like this mission is happening like 007 or something. I was like, ‘What could be the mission here?’ And the mission, I feel like, is to be free from this person that constantly comes back in — to get over that hurdle.”
“Here We Go (Uh Oh),” released in May, serves as the lead single from Jones’ debut album, which is set to be released in 2025.
The untitled album will feature additional tracks, including “Sweep It Up” and “Most Beautiful Design,” featuring Future and London on da Track.
Jones’ debut album follows her Grammy-nominated project, What I Didn’t Tell You (Deluxe), which was released in January 2023. It will also follow her recently released holiday EP, Coco By The Fireplace.
