Cardi B makes history as the first female rapper to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart with no features in nearly 19yrs

Cardi B's hit song "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" has hit No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This makes her the second female rapper to top the Hot 100 without any other billed artists, following Lauryn Hill's first solo Hot 100 entry - "Doo Wop (That Thing) in 1998.

According to Billboard;

Cardi B is only the fifth female rapper ever to lead the Hot 100 at all. After Hill, Lil' Kim ruled for five weeks in 2001 with Christina Aguilera, Mya and Pink on "Lady Marmalade"; Shawnna reigned as featured on Ludacris' "Stand Up," which topped the Dec. 6, 2003, chart; and Iggy Azalea's introductory Hot 100 hit, "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, led for seven weeks in 2014.
Cardi B is also the first female soloist to top the Hot 100 with a debut track unaccompanied by another artist since Meghan Trainor, whose "All About That Bass" led for eight weeks beginning Sept. 20, 2014.
Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" dips to No. 3 on the Hot 100 after three weeks at No. 1. It keeps at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (58,000, down 17 percent); falls 2-4 on Streaming Songs (32.7 million, down 18 percent); and is steady at No. 10 on Radio Songs (79 million, up 3 percent).
