Nearly a year after storming onto the scene with her history-making debut single, ‘Bodak Yellow,’ rapstress Cardi B sees her name colored atop the Hot 100 once more.
The move not only gives her a second run at #1 from her debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ but also sees her etched in history books among female rappers overall.
Details inside:
Cardi B, Bad Bunny and J Balvin‘s “I Like It” lifts from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, granting Cardi B an unprecedented feat in the chart’s history, as she becomes the first female rapper with two No. 1s. She first reigned with her debut hit, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” for three weeks beginning Oct. 7, 2017.
Thanks to “Bodak Yellow” and now “Like,” Cardi B passes four female rappers who previously topped the tally with one No. 1 apiece: Lauryn Hill, Lil’ Kim, with “Lady Marmalade,” Shawnna, as featured on Ludacris’ “Stand Up” (one, 2003); and, Iggy Azalea, with “Fancy,” featuring Charli XCX.
Cardi B is the first female soloist with two Hot 100 No. 1s from a debut album this decade, and the first since Lady Gaga, whose The Fame generated “Just Dance,” featuring Colby O’Donis (three weeks on top), and “Poker Face” (one), both in 2009
Where’s ??? at who swore up and down that she wouldn’t get the #1? ????. You big mad now huh?
So proud!!!!!
YO B**** WANNA PARDI WIT CARDI
Yes
I KNO U B****** IS MAD NAH!!! CONGRATS CARDI…AND BRING UP ALBUM SALES AND ALL DAT OTHER S*** TO YA MAMMIES! HATIN ASSES…CARDI WINIING NOW WATS GUD B****!!
Now let’s get that Grammy.. Not my cup of tea but the seething from the barbaric morons is just so funny.. Where is ?? and her million troll accounts.. If only she wasnt obsessed with Thiefyonce,those billion singles and features from the China plastic doll wouldn’t have flooped harder than Everything is flop..
But atleast they have a successful tour.
Wow. Wow. I can’t believe it. Cardi gat 2 #1 singles. Congrats. THe queen really have to step her pu%%y
??? a fool.
The peasant is DONEZO lmao ? Miss Li can be a rose bearer for Queen Cardi ?
Your fav has officially been replaced. Cardi will get that Grammy too.. lol
Nicki is shooked!!!!! lol
Shooketh to her core ?
Well it was 68cents to buy it.
Atlantic literally gave this to her.
Happy for her though.
it only costs 99 cents for a song so 68 cents means 31 cents discount. U counting pennies girl but forgetting about all that radio play and streamining that got her a number 1.
Cardi B is officially the Queen of Rap. Period.
Lol lets not get carried away. This forum is the main place where folks always shout about how #1s dont mean anything-until their fave gets one. Congrats for Cardi, but she has a few million more albums to sell before she can get that title. And I do mean sell, not stream. Her flow also needs MAJOR work done before she can be put on a Queen level in hip hop.
Exactly
Yessir, said the congregation. Im still betting against longevity and depth in her career…
Streaming and selling are the same thing.
Haterade is what I smell from you! Lol
Even with that “flow”, your fave still could not and will never do what Cardi has. TWO whole #1 singles and a #1 album. Yeah you’re shook, sis.
Cardi B here to put the final nail in Nikki Garbage Coffin ⚰️ and I’m 100% here for it. Let them TEARS fall Nikki lol cardI literally got this b**** crying in interviews. ??? Nikki can kiss them bet awards good bye, it’s locked just like Bey locked the best female r&b awards from rih. ?
“I Said I Like It Like That”
LMAOOOO NICKI WAS FOUND SHAKING!!!
Done Li don’t know what TA DEW with herself today lmao ? She probably pacing her hotel room pulling at her weave! She probably listening to Unpretty eating a gallon of room service ice cream! Smearing her makeup and writing Done Li on the bathroom mirror in lipstick! ? You can buy your hair if won’t growwwwwwwwwww, you can fix ya nose if he says sooo lmao ? ?
That’s my f****** song!!
2 #1s while Nikki has 0 not even with 1000+ FEATURES ? ???? LOL GRANDMA NIKKI should just file for early Retirement… The “?” album will flop hard just like bardi tings and Done Li ?
Chun Li made it to #10 on the Hot 100 that’s not considered a flop.
It is when it’s not #1 and you’re the “queen”. #DoneLi
Not just features. Features with AAAAAAAA-Listers. Nicki’s so-called best feature ever couldn’t do it—MONSTER!
grannyonce ?????????????
truly iconic. Also a huge feat for the featured artists
Wow! Go Cardi!
That’s a lie.Rihanna had 3#1’s in 2010 from her LOUD album, what’s my name,Only girl,and S and M.Billboard needs to stop lying.
All FORGOTTEN… ? Even Rih-SCHEDULED doesn’t perform them anymore on her many FLOP TOURS ?. Roh doesn’t even like her own music anymore hence the long extended breaks and still FLOPS and now playing Extras in random movies ?
FROM A DEBUT ALBUM SIS. Loud was not a debut.
i KNEW it was going to chart high. this song is perfect for the summer.
Another thing Nicki doesn’t have. Another number one ???
I read your comment in Mariah’s voice ?
The only thing left for Chunk-EE to do now is to make up with the other female rappers that she once dissed and try to pull off a collab she hasn’t tried from her other 264156545 collaborations.
YEAH! Nicki spent her career calling Lil Kim old when Lil Kim was 34-35 in 2010 BUT now she’s 35 and cant handle the “old” title. Did she think she would be young forever? She’s lucky Cardi aint calling her old. When Nicki argues, she brings up her catalogue BUT told Lil Kim to stop living in the past while she kept stealing Lil Kim’s past and present.
Truth! I remember saying that the same thing 8 years ago. Cardi is too nice to make a song Called Stupid Slore. Now who is looking like a damn m*****.
Even though I speak no English but I love Bad Bunny. But his song “Soy Poer” is nice. I can’t wait till his get his dues in America.
I speak no Spanish*
Congrats Cardi!
And it seems like the song with Maroon 5 will number soon too
I wish Missy Elliott also had a #1 song
Missy Elliott produced Lady Marmalade Mouline Rouge #1 Hot 100 and Katy Perry’s Remix TGIF #1 Hot 100.
Missy produced #1s and has Grammysssssss.
Say it one more time for the people in the back! Nicki needs to finally hang it up. Nobody’s checking for her but the kids
You are mad delusional.
I say congratulations but what her Andy Nicki Minaj do isn’t considered Rap IMO…
Cardi, Cardi, Cardi. I don’t want to undermine her success BUT do you think her being light-skinned and Latina helped her get these two #1s after other Black female rappers have tried and failed so much. I mean do Foxy Brown, Eve, Missy Elliot, Lil Kim (excluding lady marmalade) have solo #1s? I’m sure a lot of people would agree that they are better than Cardi yet they all failed where she has. Is it a light skin thing or is it a well-earned #1?
She ain’t light skinned she’s caramel. I just think she’s poppin and with social media and streaming it’s helped her a lot. All those other rappers have classic music, something cardi diesnt, and they’re phenomenal lyrical rappers- cardi is not. But she earned her numbers 1s so
Cardi cant even admit to luck and timing. She really wants to believe that it is ALL due to hard work. If Remy did not come out with Shether and break Nicki’s entire persona, Cardi couldnt have slipped in. Remy broke Nicki’s BET winning streak and said on stage that Cardi was next. When Remy dropped Shether and put Cardi on that Summer Jam stage, Cardi was able to break through–timing, luck, light skin, and hard work.
So do you believe that Cardi wouldn’t have been able to come up if it weren’t for the Nicki-Remy beef?
I don’t think it’s fair to use the word “failed”. Artists don’t necessarily set out with the intention of making a particular single #1 single on the hot 100. It just kind of happens. Many many artists never have a hot 100 #1 and sell millions of albums and have successful tours. People act like the hot 100 is the only chart that matters but the hip-hop/r&b chart is important too. And as for Lauryn Hill it’s hard to argue that she “tried” to get a second #1 single as she never released an album again after her first one was such a MASSIVE seller that has sold more than most rappers entire discographies.
NICKY MINAJ COULD NEVUH!!!! BAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHERE THE BARBOONZ AT!? ?
