Cardi B has another number one! Her hit “Up” jumped from number six on the Billboard Hot 100 all the way to number one. This marks Cardi’s fifth record to sit atop the Hot 100.
Billboard believes that the song got a boost after Cardi performed “Up” at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards during a medley of hits alongside Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi B is the first female rapper to get two Hot 100’s with no featured artist. Cardi achieved the feat with her debut hit “Bodak Yello” and “Up.”
“I want God to come see me in my dreams when I take my nap today so I can kiss his feet and tell him how much I love him !!! Yoooooo shit is amazing yoooooo,” Cardi captioned her Instagram post about her new number one. “I got no words. Actually, I got a lot of words but I can’t type it all. NUMBER 1!!!!!”
According to MRC Data, “Up” drew 22.7 million U.S. streams and 18,000 downloads sold in the week ending March 18, Billboard reports. It also garnered more than 34 million radio airplay audience impressions in the week ending March 21.
The record also gives the song’s producers, Yung Dza, DJ SwanQo, and Sean Island, their first number one on the Hot 100.
