Bust It Baby Pt. 2

"Bust It Baby (Part 2)" is the second part of the two single release of "Bust It Baby", making it the first "double single." On the R&B/Hip Hop chart, "Bust It Baby Pt. 2" has so far peaked at #2, surpassing the original "Bust It Baby". It is his second top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and also his biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 to date, peaking at #7 thus far, surpassing the #9 peak of "Shawty" in 2007, and tying for Slip-n-Slide Records' highest placing on the Hot 100 (the other SNS single to reach that peak was Trick Daddy's 2004 single "Let's Go" featuring Lil Jon and Twista). In New Zealand, the song jumped from #22 to #9 in its second week on the chart.

Remixes of Bust It Baby

The first one features Trey Songz & Ne-Yo released in late 2008. The radio remix features Ne-Yo, Ace Hood, Lil Wayne & Big Boi released in early 2009.
