In a significant milestone, Cardi B has outsold her rival, Nicki Minaj, in the United States, becoming the highest-certified female rapper in US history. According to the Recording Industry of America (RIAA), Cardi B has sold an impressive 107 million units, surpassing Nicki Minaj’s 106 million units.
However, it’s worth noting that Minaj has sold more records overall, but most of her hits were features that weren’t credited to her on the RIAA site. Despite this, Cardi B’s achievement is a testament to her immense popularity and success in the music industry.
In other news, Alicia Keys has earned her first-ever diamond single in the US with her 2009 collaborative hit with JAY-Z, “Empire State of Mind.” The song was recently certified Diamond by the RIAA for selling 10 million units in the United States. This achievement marks a significant milestone in Keys’ career.
Across the Atlantic, Eminem has received the Brit Billion Award for becoming the best-selling American rapper in the United Kingdom, with an impressive 7 billion UK career streams. The milestone underlines the rapper’s longevity in the music industry.
