Cardi B’s Album Breaks Records Hitting #1 on iTunes in 30 Minutes

On September 19, Cardi B released her newest studio album, Am I the Drama? And it’s already breaking records. The project shot straight to #1 on US Apple Music and became the fastest female artist album to reach #1 on US iTunes, climbing the charts in just 30 minutes. The title was previously held by Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2, which hit the top spot in 51 minutes.
What makes this moment even more impressive is that notable artists Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Sabrina Carpenter have all dropped albums this year, yet Cardi, who hasn’t released a full project since 2018, still stormed to the top. Through every track, you can hear her dedication, hustle, and motivation.
Cardi is also winning in her personal life. She recently announced that she and her NFL boyfriend Stefon Diggs are expecting a baby, and she’s preparing to go on tour in 2026.
