Naysayers who doubted if Cardi B<\/a>\u2018s serially delayed sophomore album, the September 19-released \u2018Am I the Drama<\/a>,\u2019 could live up to the height of its blockbuster predecessor (2018\u2019s \u2018Invasion of Privacy\u2018) were served a rude awakening this week.<\/p>\n

Beyond making history at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as the fastest album to be certified Platinum<\/a>, the project entered the Billboard 200 at #1<\/a> with the biggest sales for any woman of color this year.<\/p>\n

The domination didn\u2019t stop on the album side of the chart, however.<\/p>\n

Hop inside to see how songs from the LP\u2019s 23-tracklist were scattered all over the Hot 100 to historic measure.<\/p>\n

As if it wasn\u2019t enough helping Pop Queen Janet Jackson make Hot 100 history<\/a> with their duet \u2018Principal,\u2019\u00a0Cardi saw her name penciled in the all-genre chart\u2019s record books as well this week.<\/p>\n

Of the 23 tracks that line the \u2018Drama\u2019 tracklist, 16 of them landed on the updated version<\/a> of the tally \u2013 a feat that makes her the first female rapper to claim as many concurrent spots.<\/p>\n

Look below to see which song landed where.<\/p>\n

Hot 100: \u2018Am I the Drama\u2019 Songs<\/p>\n

Uniquely before \u2018Drama,\u2019 \u2018Privacy\u2019 was the first album by a female artist<\/a> of any genre to place at least 13 of its tracks on the Hot 100 concurrently.<\/p>\n

Among female rappers, Nicki Minaj<\/a> broke the record when cuts from her chart-topping 2023 \u2018Pink Friday 2\u2018 landed 14 simultaneous placements on the all-genre tally.<\/p>\n

This week, the record returned to Cardi but could be challenged once Minaj drops her highly anticipated sixth studio album<\/a> in March 2026.<\/p>\n
