Independents Day: Restlezz Earns First Billboard Spot With “ON MY OWN”
Utah Hip Hop Has a New International Story
Utah’s independent rap scene has a new success story.
Restlezz is rockin’ the boat internationally following the release of his single “ON MY OWN,” which dropped on June 12 and quickly developed into the most successful record of his career. The track has landed on six music charts spanning multiple countries and digital platforms, signaling a major step forward for the Ogden native.
A Breakout Moment Beyond U.S. Borders
While many artists first establish themselves domestically, Restlezz’s biggest audience has emerged overseas. Listeners across the United Kingdom and Luxembourg embraced the single early, while Canada also became one of the song’s strongest-performing markets.
The record earned chart placements on Spotify, iTunes and YouTube before reaching its biggest accomplishment: A No. 4 position on Billboard’s Hits of the World chart in Luxembourg. The ranking marked the rapper’s first-ever appearance on a Billboard chart.
A Milestone for Ogden and Utah Hip Hop
The achievement also adds a new chapter to Utah Hip Hop history. Restlezz became the first rapper from Ogden City to reach Billboard and only the third Hip Hop artist from Utah to accomplish the feat.
For an independent artist building outside the traditional industry centers, the moment speaks to both persistence and timing.
One thing for certain and two things for sure: “ON MY OWN” arrived with the kind of international response that can shift an artist’s trajectory from regional recognition to global discovery.
Streaming Opens a Global Lane
The success illustrates how independent artists continue to benefit from the global reach of streaming services. Instead of depending on radio rotations or major-label backing, “ON MY OWN” found its audience through digital platforms, with international fans driving much of its growth.
Global reach and exposure have become one of the most important tools available to independent artists. For Restlezz, it has transformed “ON MY OWN” from a new release into a career-defining moment.
What Comes Next for Restlezz
As Restlezz continues releasing music throughout 2026, the momentum surrounding “ON MY OWN” has put him on deck for what could become an even larger global following.
Regardless of what comes next, the single has already become THE defining record of his career and a major win for Utah’s independent Hip Hop scene.
