Cardi B Scores Surprise No. 1 Album, Makes History on Billboard 200

In a surprise move, Cardi B has reclaimed her spot at the top of the Billboard 200 chart with the release of her new album "Am I the Drama?". The album, which marks Cardi's long-awaited return to the music scene after a seven-year hiatus, debuted at No. 1 with an impressive 200,000 first-week units.

Cardi's achievement is particularly noteworthy, as she has now become the first female rapper in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with her first two studio albums. Her debut album, "Invasion of Privacy," also topped the chart back in 2018. The new album, "Am I the Drama?," is led by the Hot 100-charting singles "Outside" and "Imaginary Playerz," as well as the previously released No. 1 hits "Up" and "WAP" (featuring Megan Thee Stallion).

Cardi took to social media to express her gratitude to her fans, acknowledging that the album's success had exceeded industry projections. She also hinted at an upcoming tour, promising to celebrate the achievement with her supporters. The release of "Am I the Drama?" comes as part of a busy weekend in the music industry, with new albums from Mariah Carey, Doja Cat, and Young Thug also hitting the market.
