Making 'Chart' Moves: Cardi B Ties Billboard Record With Beyoncé
Cardi B's reign in the music industry seems to be carried over to 2018 as she marks yet another milestone in her career.
The reality star turned rapper has just done something that only one female artist has ever been able to do.
Cardi B Holds 4 Spots On Billboard Charts
Cardi B is the second woman to have four singles in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart at the same time. Beyoncé is the only female artist that has been able to that so far.
The recording artist kicks off the Top 10 list with G-Eazy's "No Limit", which also features A$AP Rocky. The single is currently at number 2 on the Billboard charts. Migos' "Motorsport" made it to number 3 on the list and also features Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
The rapper's latest single "Bartier Cardi" featuring 21 Savage is holding down the number 7 and 9 spots. Of course, her Grammy-nominated single "Bodak Yellow" is still on the list as it sits on the number 5 spot.
While Cardi B may have dominated 2017, Queen Bey is known for continuously taking over the charts. On Apr. 16, 2016, Beyoncé released her most critically acclaimed album project Lemonade. The mother of three had four songs off of her Lemonade album that remained on the Billboard charts.
These singles include "Formation," which received a Grammy Award for Best Music Video and a BET Award for Video of the Year, "Sorry", "Hold Up," and "6 Inch" which featured singer and songwriter, The Weeknd.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé and Cardi B aren't the only artists to hold spots on the Billboard Charts. Male recording artists such as 50 Cent, 2 Chainz, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Lil Wayne have also had four songs simultaneously in the R&B/Hip-Hop category of the Billboard charts.
Will Cardi B's Success Continue In 2018?
The "Bodak Yellow" rapper kicked off the New Year by releasing the music video for Bruno Mars' "Finesse" (Remix). The duo released a video inspired by In Living Color and received over 52 million views on YouTube since its premiere.
As she remains on the Billboard charts, it looks like 2018 could be another unforgettable year for the rapper. Cardi B will also be performing with Bruno Mars at the 2018 Grammy Awards and has been nominated for two awards: Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.
As fans patiently await the release of Cardi B's next album, she stated that she is in no rush and wants to take her time with it.
