Cardi B Flies Flag

For Women In

Hot 100 Top Three

B

RONX RAPPER AND FORMER CAST MEMBER OF

VH1’s Love & Hip-Hop: New York Cardi B bounds 8-

on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Sept. 2) with her

breakthrough hit, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves).”

She’s the first female rapper to reach the top three with a

debut entry since Iggy Azalea, whose “Fancy” (featuring

Charli XCX) reigned for seven weeks in 2014.

As the top of the Hot 100 has been largely dominated by male

hip-hop and pop acts in 2017, “Yellow” is the first song by a

woman unaccompanied by another artist to rank in the top three

since Meghan Trainor’s “No,” which peaked at No. 3 in April

2016. Only one other song solely by one woman spent time in the
      region in 2016: Adele’s “Hello.” Those totals are down from three
      top-three Hot 100 hits each credited to just one woman in 2015,
      four in 2014, six in 2013 and a far loftier 12 in 2012.
      Streaming is heavily driving “Yellow” on the Hot 100, as it
      bullets at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 36.2 million U.S. streams,
      up 15 percent, according to Nielsen Music. The track jumps 15-
      on Digital Song Sales with 29,000 sold, up 23 percent, and 36-
      on Radio Songs, up 30 percent to 41 million in audience, earning
      the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer award. —GARY TRUST
