Cardi B's latest single, 'Like What (Freestyle),' has made a significant impact on the music charts, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Rap Digital Song Sales chart. This achievement marks Cardi's eleventh chart-topper on this particular ranking and adds to her impressive tally of 31 top 10 hits in the genre.
The song's success also prevented Nicki Minaj from securing another No. 1 spot on the chart, as her track 'Pink Friday Girls' narrowly missed out on the top position, landing at No. 2 with strong sales of 8,789 copies. Despite missing the top spot, Minaj still managed to secure three tracks in the top 10, showcasing her enduring popularity and influence in the rap music scene.
'Like What (Freestyle)' not only dominated the Rap Digital Song Sales chart but also made a strong debut at No. 3 on the overall Digital Song Sales ranking. With 11,535 copies sold in the U.S., the single emerged as one of the best-selling tracks across all genres, underscoring Cardi B's widespread appeal and commercial success.
Minaj's recent resurgence on the charts can be attributed to the launch of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which reignited interest in her music among fans. Despite falling short of a No. 1 placement, her songs, including the collaboration with J. Cole on 'Let Me Calm Down' and 'FTCU,' managed to secure spots in the top 10, further solidifying her position as a rap powerhouse.
While the rivalry between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj continues to captivate fans and industry observers alike, their chart performances serve as a testament to their enduring impact on the music landscape. As both artists continue to release new music and engage with their respective fan bases, the competition for chart supremacy is likely to remain fierce and closely watched by music enthusiasts worldwide.
