Cardi B Takes the Top Spot


Up and coming rapper Cardi B takes the no. 1 spot on the Hip Hip Charts with Bodack Yellow...

From Billboard Magazine
Cardi B sprints to the top of the Hot Rap Songs chart (dated Sept. 2) as “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” climbs 2-1 in its sixth charting week. The landing completes the quickest ascent to No. 1 by a lead artist’s debut chart entry since Psy’s “Gangnam Style” shot to the summit in its second frame in 2012.
Streaming carries much of the "Yellow" momentum once again, as the song maintains its No. 2 rank on Streaming Songs for a second week via 36.2 million U.S. streams for the week ending Aug. 17, according to Nielsen Music, up 15 percent. The track also lifts 15-12 on Digital Song Sales to 29,000 downloads for the week, a gain of 23 percent and 36-28 on Radio Songs, with a 30 percent boost to 40 million in audience (in the week ending Aug. 20).
