Chart performance

In the United States, "Dynamite!" did not make the Billboard Hot 100, but it hit number one on the Dance Club Songs chart (where it was her only number-one hit in general),[1] and it peaked at number eight on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart.[2] Lattisaw was just 13 years old when she made it to number-one and was the youngest act to have a number-one single on the Dance Club Songs chart at that time.
