Congratulations to Cardi B on this feat!
According to Chart Data on twitter, “Bodak Yellow” is now the first solo female rap record to reach number 1 on the billboard Hot 100 since Lauryn Hill in 1998 with “Too Top (That Thing).”
Moving from number 78 to number 1, knocking out Taylor Swift from the top position; the only thing left is for Cardi to drop that album.
“Bodak Yellow” is the first solo female rap single to reach #1 on the Hot 100 since “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.
