I just wanted to post what one of Nicki stans said after Cardi hit #2 for the second time as predicted. I think it's ironic considering if it wasn't Cardi but Nicki instead, this wouldn't have been said AT ALL.

"In the end, I'd rather have a big discography full of hits and other memorable moments than a short career with a Hot 100 #1 or two. A #1 is an achievement with bragging rights, for sure, but a big hit is a big hit is a big hit. The more the merrier, and Nicki has an assload of em. There's an element of luck to scoring a certain peak, along with many other factors.

It's like an actor getting nominated for 6 Oscars over a 30 year career as an A-lister but never winning vs. an actor who won an Oscar for their first role and then falls off the map. Sometimes it's the one role in the one movie and all the stars align, but that's their sole claim to fame.

This is a general statement, and not intended to detract from anyone's achievements. I just think the H100 #1 game is rather futile when there's a much larger picture."
