Cardi had a #1 album, won best rap album and was the second frnale rapper to do tbis (last was Lauren Hill), had two #1 hits, had two hits with Bruno Mars reach #3, had an additional three #1 hits with WAP, Up, Girls Like You (total 5) but it's been years since she's released some hits. Most of her recent hits are #10. 
 

Her new single is out tonight. Where do you think it will debut and peak?

 

and what about her album? 

she said the song is long and the label didn't want it as a single so it won't do well

i think the album will do well if it's actually quality, she fumbled her peak though so inevitably it won't be crazy. female rap and rap in general is also highkey dead so i'm not putting my expectations too high, she'll outdo most if not all the rap girls recent releases though 

i mean if she had to resort to tacking on 5 year old songs to inflate the numbers… i predict a shaky situation

^those songs were always meant for CB2

I don't know. Is Cardi B still popular?

massively panned and bombed

It's going to flop into oblivion obviously let's be so fr she is panned and shelved by the label and the lead single barely touched T10 even tho that's where he records allegedly live

She won't outsell/perform PF2 do I need to find the post where you said she was going to do 100k max first week 

150k sales first week (#1 debut if no one bigger releases that week)

another top 10 hit during the first week

 

3x Platinum overall thanks to WAP and Up

Album #1, Grammy nominated 

Imaginary Playerz top 10

All she needs a killer single and she'll do big numbers, there's still interest and her physical variants game is strong.

The album is already a success. It will be a #1 debut, has 2 #1 singles and Outside peaked in the top 10, what else do you want? Yes, it's all been messy but let's be real here.

she should've released her sophomore right after wap and score that 600K+ debut 

2 #1 singles and 2B+billions of streams already

She will be fine. People need to move on from her getting pregnant twice and delaying the album. She can repeak with the right songs, and visuals. It happens all the time

I mean she's putting two number one hits on her picking 2025 that were released in 2020. She's also released a total of 10 singles since 2020, but chose to only include her two #1s lol.

Wow I didn't even think about this 🤔 

barring some kind of act of god, i do not see it doing well.

Sophomore slump

7 year gap

Female rapper 

…she has her work cut out for her 

but I wish her well

Yep.. released ten singles since 2020 but only included the two singles that hit #1. I mean if that's the case every artist should do it. Not release albums, release singles. And only compile the ones that hit #1. 

It will flop.

It will flop. I don't know why she waited so long.
