We found something that Cardi B and Drake have in common.
Cardi B just had a week that reminds everyone why she’s a chart heavyweight. Her new album AM I THE DRAMA? keeps breaking barriers, now tying Drake’s For All The Dogs for the most No. 1 hits in US Apple Music history—six each.Her streak includes “WAP,” “Up,” and fresh album cuts like “Outside,” “Dead,” “Magnet,” and “Safe,” all climbing to the top. Few artists can flex a run of singles that strong across different projects, and Cardi did it while dropping an album that’s barely a week old.
The momentum doesn’t stop there. AM I THE DRAMA? opened with 14.7 million first-day Spotify streams—the tenth-biggest rap debut of 2025—and it’s on pace to land at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 125–150K first-week units. That would give Cardi her second consecutive chart-topping album, proving her audience isn’t going anywhere.
This all arrives as Drake’s For All The Dogs still holds its own with six Apple Music No. 1 hits of its own (“Slime You Out,” “Virginia Beach,” “IDGAF,” “First Person Shooter,” “Rich Baby Daddy,” and “Red Button”). For now, Cardi shares the crown—but her latest run suggests she’s ready to keep pushing the numbers even higher.
