108 weeks tomorrow, she is going up on the charts actually.

[Lucid Dreaming]

Cardi will probably see herself in the top 10 with IOP when it's all said and done.

Let me stream Be Careful real quick.

[JBJT2786]

Post and Cardi will be in the top 10 and Post about to have another up with BBB

[Stepfon]

I just realized I forgot Travis Scott, I will add him now.

He's the third most streamed white hip hop artist weekly according to Rolling Stone, after Post Malone and Eminem. Overall he's in the Top 50-60 range among most weekly streamed artists in the US.

How's she a one hit wonder when she has had more than 10 legimitate smash hits throughout 2 years of music release and she hasn't released her second album yet? Please explain.

 

IOP at 108 weeks, rising to #81 this week... Well, she's coming for top 10 at this point. The legendary, biggest female rap album of the last 20 years did that.

The girls try so hard, they really do. 

Just say you hate Cardi or say "it's nice to see another female rapper have success long term with an album like Nicki" and go. No need for the shade.
