Cardi B Is The 1st Solo Woman Rapper In 19 Years To Have A #1 Record

Cardi B has made history yet again with the summer banger, “Bodak Yellow.”

This time around, the Bronx rapstress obtained her most monstrous accolade yet. Cardi’s “Bodak Yellow” has moved from #2 to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Cardi the first female rapper in almost 19 years to top the Billboard Hot 100 without the assistance of a featured artist.

The last female artist to accomplish such a feat was Lauryn Hill in 1998 with “Doo Wop (That Thing).”

Prior to reaching #1 this week, “Bodak Yellow” spent 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Cardi’s debut single was first spotted on the chart at #85 on the week of July 22.

Despite the massive success of “Bodak Yellow,” few details regarding the release of Cardi’s debut album have surfaced.

As the 24-year-old Cardi continues in her quest to make “money moves,” she recorded a thank you video straight from the airport, thanking fans, radio personalities, and all those have showed their support for “Bodak Yellow.”
