Cardi B’s ‘Invasion of Privacy’ is the First Debut Female Rap Album to Spend 100 Weeks on the Billboard 200 Chart

Cardi B keeps breaking records with Invasion of Privacy, continuing to expand her reach, and setting a mark.

Before this new record, the previous holder was Lauryn Hill with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album. That album was on the chart for 91 weeks, and Cardi tied the record in January of this year. Cardi continues to break records for female rappers, and became the first female rapper to get a solo number one with Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).”

Cardi also has the longest charting solo number 1 record with “Bodak Yellow.” She also has three number 1 Billboard records, including “Girls Like You” and “I Like It” with J Balvin and Bad Bunny.
