Cardi B “UP”
Recently named Billboard’s “Woman Of The Year 2020,” Cardi B made history with the explosive
success of last summer’s “WAP (Feat. Megan Thee Stallion).” “WAP” debuted at
#1 on the Billboard “Hot 100” upon its August release –
Cardi’s fourth #1 single in the US, extending her record as the female rapper
with the most #1 singles in “Hot 100” history and affirming her as the only
female rapper to have reach #1 on the “Hot 100” in two different decades. The
track – which went on to spend four weeks atop the “Hot 100” while also
spending multiple weeks at #1 in Australia, Canada, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania,
New Zealand, and the United Kingdom – made further history as the first #1
single on the inaugural Billboard “Global 200,” topping that
chart for three weeks.
In addition, “WAP” shattered multiple records,
including the largest opening streaming week for a song in US chart history
(93M), the highest streaming first week by a female artist, and one of the top
3 hip-hop streaming debuts of all time. What’s
more, the track confirmed Cardi as the first female rapper to have two songs
hit #1 on Spotify’s “Global Top 200” chart as well as one of Apple Music’s most
popular artists of all time, earning the platform’s highest ever debut by a
female artist as well as the fastest song in Apple Music history by a female
artist to peak at #1. “WAP” marked Cardi’s seventh #1 track at Apple Music –
the most by any female artist in the service’s five-year history.
