Cardi B keeps on winning as it was recently announced that the Bronx native has now become the first female rapper ever to land 3 Billboard Hot 100 singles in the top spot.
Cardi previously set the record for being the first female to have 2 Hot 100 singles go no. 1 just months ago with her single “I Like It,” but now thanks to her Maroon 5 collaboration, “Girls Like You” which just went no. 1, she now has three.
The track peaked at the top of the chart on Monday, and knocked Drake’s hit single “In My Feelings” out of the no. 1 spot which it held for 10 week. This marks the 25-year-old’s second no. 1 song this year.
.@iamcardib was previously the only female rapper with two #Hot100 No. 1s.
She extends her record as “Girls Like You” becomes her third.

She will be joined by Latin artists Bad Bunny and J Balvin to sing her latest hit, “I Like It.”

Tracee Ellis Ross is hosting the fan-voted awards show, which will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
Cardi B tied Drake for the most AMA nominations this year, with each scoring eight nods. “I Like It” is Cardi B’s second No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the first for Bad Bunny and J Balvin. Cardi B released her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy” in 2018, which includes her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow.” Bad Bunny, hailing from Puerto Rico, has been nominated for the Latin AMAs and the Latin Grammys. Colombian artist J Balvin, known for his song “Mi Gente,” received an AMA nomination for best Latin artist.
Congrats to Cardi for her continued success.
