Cardi B has achieved another milestone in her musical career with the debut of her second number one album, “Am I The Drama?” The album has received an impressive 146 million streams in its first week, according to data from Luminate. This follows her previous success with “Invasion of Privacy” in 2018, marking her second consecutive album to debut at the top of the charts.
Cardi B’s manager, Shawn Holiday of Full Stop management, emphasizes the significance of this achievement, stating that it is not only a chart triumph but also a testament to her enduring cultural influence. With a total of 200,000 sales equivalents—encompassing streams, bundles, and physical copies—Cardi B’s comprehensive promotional strategy has clearly paid off. Her efforts included selling physical copies directly on the street and engaging with fans through social media by sharing video clips, inspired by circulating rumors, to encourage album pre-saves and pre-orders.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Cardi B recently revealed her pregnancy during an interview with Gayle King and took to Twitter to promise her fans an exceptional live experience once she begins her tour. She humorously noted her commitment to delivering an energetic performance with stunts like splits and backflips.
Cardi B’s comeback after a seven-year hiatus from album releases has not only proven her relevance but has also set a new standard. Her manager highlights her significance, noting that very few artists can return after such a gap and achieve even greater success. Looking forward, anticipation builds for her first headlining tour, where fans can expect an unforgettable experience tailored by the star herself.
