‘Press’ is one of the tracks Cardi is using to carve a clear path out of her second studio album and was performed by the rapper on Sunday night’s BET Awards.
Supported by Christian Owens, the Hip-Hop starlet rocked the event hit the stage with hopes her delivery of the track would work wonders for it on a sales and streaming tip. Fortunately, it did.
For, while it currently sits at #59 on iTunes USA, the tune surpassed the 23.3 million Spotify streams mark this month this morning as millions make their way to the platform to spin it after seeing her rock it live.
With this, she extends her lead as one of the highest/fastest-streamed artists to debut within the last decade and, at least far as sales-equivalent numbers go, outperforms numbers generated by her Atlantic Records sibling Lil Kim on a pure sales front.

In other iTunes chart news, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Megatron’ currently sits at #13 as Katy Perry‘s ‘Never Really Over’ holds #21 . On lower ground, Halsey’s ‘Nightmare‘ occupies #26 while Chris Brown‘s and Drake‘s ‘No Guidance’ sits at #49.
Nicki who? Cardi b is the queen of rap of this generation PEROIDT
You’re saying Nicki who but more people are literally buying her music than Cardi’s as you read this. Did you not read past the headline dear?
Lol stop and face it nicki is washed cardie got 3#1s a grammy wats icki b*** injections got going for her flop? More cancelled tours cuz of those low ticket sales lool
Um, cardi cant even sell out a bathroom residency, do you really want to go there?
Nicki the one with an actual hit. Yeah you clearly didn’t read the post, or most likely can’t read since youre a cardi fan.
Lol nicki has no NUMBER ONE HITS LOL THATS FACT! So stop lol also why r u acting like MegaFLOP isnt going to fall FAR and BAD OFF the charts?
Meanwhile megatron is perdicted to debut in the top ten on bb 100.
Wtf is “Perdicted”? What a dummy Stan you are!! ??????
Go get your mom to lick my s***** ass cuz its all her fat ho ass is good for
Then fall already falling off ??
Go Cardi!
Niki #13 already and it was just release Friday! hahahaha
all that hype last but a weekend! ha not even a whole weekend! Trash bucket!
Uh sis cardi bs is nothing but a possum face flop without her payola which nicki never uses so sit
lmaoooooo bishhh dummi is flopping at #59 even after the EBT awards, stop trying to ignore it lmfaoooooooo
But Nicki is outselling her ?. Read the article again. Press is #59 and Megatron is #13. So once again Nicki fans are buying the music and Cardi clowns will support their fave when it’s free. It’s so sad.
B**** niki a flop how many number ones she got compared to queeni b? Lol none thats how many
lmaooooo how many albums has dummi sold compared to Queen Nicki bum? exactly lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooo
How can you say this knowing how terrible q**** flopped and how successful IOP was?? Like how? Also wheres flopble up ft fist brown on the charts??
Meanwhile Cardi has 2 no 1‘s while Nicki has NONE lmao
You say this as if the singles been out for the same amount of time ??? that’s a joke in itself, press stayed in the top ten for more than a week while megaflop has already drop out. Mine you cardi hasn’t even release the video & when she does we all know press is going to out perform megaflop on iTunes its just a matter of time
I’m confused. If Cardi is more popular why is Nicki selling more than her? No shade. It’s just weird.
lmaoooo cuz the #retardigang cant use their food stamps to buy music lmfaoooooo
#BarbzDontBuy ?
Cuz shes not
Because Nikki has a video and Cardi does not (yet)
Was this post really necessary?
CARDI’s PRESS SINGLE IS A SEMINAL EFFORT IN DISTINGUISHING HER VOICE, PRESENCE, ARTISTRY & LIKENESS from the other freshman female dwellers of the rap game. Cardi is poised to echo the greatness of those women in hip-Hop who understood that their comrades in the industry deserved as much praise as their own unique talents. Cardi allows her music to place her ahead of the pack, while still reaching a hand to help the others cross. PRESS tells the sonic story that despite her goodness and raw efforts, she continues to stand as the target of jealousy, hate & the insecurities of her less than stellar contemporaries. This single is laced in Ann authoritative power — a Sum of pent up frustration & feelings of being fed up. But let it not bother you High Priestess Cardi! The public and critics alike, are holding you high amongst the ranks. Let this single and the album to come, cement your status and true HIP HOP royalty. YOUR TIME IS NOW!!
let the press HEADLINE that!!
Too bad the charts don’t reflect this essay.
Lol icki sament booty is done li!
lmaoooooo if nicki is done what do you call bummi struggling at #59? lmfaooooooooo
LOL and what the hell is sament? you dummi fans deserve to stan that illiterate rat lmfaoooooo
lmaooooo so youre telling me that circus act she put on the EBT awards didnt help her FLOP??? lmfaoooooo *laughs in Megatron lmfaooooooo

Put this dissertation on paper, print it and give it to Kim fans so they can dry their tears with it.
Sis Brent Christopher u need to calm down!! Press aint doing all that well on the carts. Hopefully the BET awards performance and accompaning vedio will bring it back up or else it will end up like Wish Wish off the charts.
This is quite embarrassing. So Lil Kim fans spend their time supporting Cardi only to help them outperform their fav? A crying shame if I ever knew one. You were hoping Cardi would take Nicki’s spot but turns out it was Kim who should have been worried. Eaux neaux!
Kim, her impact and Legacy, her no 1 and GRAMMY have nothing to worry about.
All of which Pedonika has NONE lmao
How’s that embarrassing when Cardi B is well on her way to trumping Nicki sales the way she trumped Lil Kim sales? You’re a whole idiot. Log out of life ??
Y’all always bring Nicki up when y’all mention this non talented h** this b**** ain’t grind from the mud like Nicki this b**** made it off TV from her dumb ass non educated personality!!
Say it again! She’s a lowly girl.
I know this article was made to put down Cardi n kim because they performed at the Bet awards n they’re nicki’s enemies n this blog is a nicki fan. Let me school y’all we are living in a STREAMING era. Newer artists benefits more from streaming while older artists benefits more from PURE sales. Taylor Swift SoNG sold more than lil nasx song yet lil nas x is #1 while Taylor is #2. Dummies People are streaming music more than buying it.
So you’re ok with the fact that Kim paved the way with pure sales only to have some new chick “outsell” with free streams. This my friends is why Kim and her fans are always being cheated. What was the name of the book she was writing again? Exactly. The Beyhive would never.
Whether it be Cardi B or any other rap b****… it don’t matter stupid. STREAMING is what’s in now. Kick rocks and throw a fit ?
What a try-hard article. ??? You can tell they all the way pressed at thatBOTTOMjuice oh Lawd. First off, sales accolades are meant to be broken so nobody stressing over it. Lil Kim a legend in her own right, y’all need to be worried over Cardi B trumping Nicki sales because she’s the only female rapper who brags about it! My real rap queens got timeless hits. So dumb I swear ?
I have to laugh. IOP hasn’t sold in almost two years what PF sold in one week. Keep trying though hunneh!
IOP outsold Q****. Laugh now cuz you gon be crying in the car later trollop. ????Cardi killed Nicholas’ career and ain’t nothing you garb h*** can do about it except troll social media. Y’all a dying breed please know BARBageddpn coming to wipe the rest of y’all vermin out like the holocaust. Can’t wait! ?
Imagine singing the lyrics from Barbie Bin at the top of your lungs…
I’mma cut that b****, gut that b****…”
Only to realize Nicholas states in the corner. The b**** wants street cred so bad, nobody takes hold seriously especially not your white ass. That’s why Lookin ass, Pills and Abortion and all her other real rap Cuts all flopped. No gimmick = no sales ??
Cd sold 10 years ago why u comparing
If Cardi is so popular why is she scared to do a solo tour? After all, we all know artists make more from touring than sales. Is it because she knows she couldn’t fill the seats in a Planned Parenthood even if her lifetime supply of h***** ointment depended on it?
Almost Nobody does a tour on their first album. Rihanna, Mariah, Ariana grande, Usher, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Jay z… idk why you would expect her to be doing that so soon. She’s literally one album in and making coins left and right everywhere else.
Don’t worry about Cardi worry about the baby in Onika stomach we gon drop kick. That personal life gon in complete SHAMBLES chiiileeew oooooweeee ????????????????????????
Someone said Cardi is on her way to beating Nicki’s sales and I had to chuckle about it over afternoon tea. Even if you took streams away from the both of them Nicki’s worst selling album has sold more than Invasion of Privacy. It’s just so funny to see people say Onika is done yet can’t explain how her song is #13 and Monostat B’s song is about to fall out of the top 50 even after BET. Maybe she should encourage her fans to pay for her music like she used to ask men to pay for her ?.
Yes chuckle over afternoon. I know your ass is white cuz only a Becky would say some white ppl sh!t like that. Y’all the same ones who only f*ck with chicken wing chain Nicki doing EDM. Well Margaret, those days are over because now she has to prove herself doing hip hop records since there’s female rap competition. Don’t expect another Star ships soon, Betty Anne. That would be career s****** at this point? No more white America gimmick dollars for Onika ????????
You think I’m white because I drink tea? Poor thing. This tells me all I need to know about Cardi and the Roaches.
Both u and ??? Have got to be the most toxic mental patients I n this site. Y’all make this comment section so unpleasent.
Cardi is slaying! She got rap dudes doing choreography again like back in the day, and the crowd LOVED IT! That’s huge.
Seems as if Cardi is suffering from the second album curse and I don’t hope thaf is not the case. I think that u guys on this site used Nicki’s song as clickbait which is pretty low
Let’s not that talk about how St Nick pandered to white America with Roman Retarded; you know the album she admits was a total miss herself. Take away all the pop sh!t and it’s a DUB. At least a Cardi don’t gotta resort to pop gimmicks to sell records. Female rap has come to far to settle for Onika’s watered down pop rap standards. ? And it’s true because if your fave really set the bar then EVERY rap b**** would be doing whoel EDM/pop songs to sell. 8x platinum selling Bodak Yellow says hi. ?
Go seek help I think u have an obsession with Nicki Minaj that requires some serious professional help.
You have no response because I’m right. Know-your-place. ???????
It more like I won’t wsste my time and energy on a mentally ill troll who obviouly don’t have a life outside trolling a low ass traffic site like bye gurl bye
But Cardi has been resorting to pop gimmicks. “Press” is not doing well because it’s hard rap.
“Hard Rap” that outsold all of Nicki’s hard rap attempts. Bodak yellow was hard rap as well. How are you queen of rap when your hard rap don’t sell? ?
Anyhoo I’m done committing mass murder on you garb h***. Press video out tomorrow and unlike St snick, we know it’s gon be a MOVIE!! Bardi alwys brings the visuals and cinematography!! ??????????????
Ran out of data? See you next month. ?
Nicki fans y’all say this as if the singles have been out for the same amount of time ??? that’s a joke in itself, press stayed in the top ten for more than a week while megaflop has already drop out. Mine you cardi hasn’t even release the video & when she does we all know press is going to out perform megaflop on iTunes its just a matter of time
Stop lying please???….Press debuet at #16 on the hot 100 then dropped to #43 and now has fallen to #60 so please don’t go there u don’t belive me check billboard site
Sis i was talking on iTunes but go ahead
Damn Megatron fell off that hard already ??
We cardi fans shouldn’t even entertain this if cardi never has another hit again she’s already done more in 10 years years than nicki 3 number 1 s and a Grammy case closed.
That’s some BS. No way has she done more for the culture than Nicki Minaj. She doesn’t even write her own raps.
Exactly.
Don’t speak for our culture you culture vulture. St Nick still ain’t do s*** for the culture or female rap unity. She’s a whole pop star who chases clout and never leads the pack.
