QuotePer the RIAA, the slew of certification updates attached to Cardi titles like 'Invasion of Privacy' and 'Am I the Drama' as well as songs 'WAP,' 'Up,' 'Press,' 'Money,' 'Bodak Yellow,' and more have pushed her cumulative sales to 77 million in the United States.

Leap-frogging over the previous leaders Nicki Minaj (65.5 million) and Doja Cat (60.5 million), the counts account for the performers' single and album commercial performances combined and makes Cardi the overall best-selling female rapper in American history.

Among all female acts, Cardi ranks 14th behind Taylor Swift (242.5 million), Rihanna (217 million), Beyonce (198.5 million), Mariah Carey (150.5 million), Katy Perry (140.5 million), Ariana Grande (120 million), Whitney Houston (109 million), SZA (105.5 million), Lady Gaga (101.5 million), Britney Spears (98.5 million), Madonna (87 million), Miley Cyrus (82.5 million), and Billie Eilish (81.5 million).

Cause tbh thats how she has all.the billboard 100 entries, Spotify listeners, etc.  It's because she's FEATURED on everybody shit. And tbh NICKI'S music is kinda terrible to me.  Her features are her best examples of good music

her biggest hits are solo tho

but i will agree, she definitely shines the brightest on other ppl's songs

& that's mainly due to her terrible ear for beats

best selling female rapper self

And Plastic is right .

I think in 2025, as music heads we should know that actual real time sales are not the same as certifications - for any artists.

Still here on the magic carpet

am Middle Eastern this weekend :ohwow:

But yes they published this "story" that May posted for hits to that ad-laden website in the OP but even they added a footnote which clearly states that everything isn't counted.

QuoteNote: It's worth calling out that the RIAA only credits certifications to lead acts, so any certified song where any artist mentioned in this article is listed as a feature is not officially added to their career counts.

Consuela is not the best selling female rapper of all time, unless there's an asterisk involved. Such as the one above

Hope this helps.

This is interesting and reminds me of when Nicki was bragging about having more Billboard entries than Aretha Franklin, and breaking that record. Like yea that's the way it reads, but Aretha did that with her own mess, no assists. You're there because you were on more people's songs than melodyne. The value is different.

Nicki wasn't gnawing at someone's ankle to try to surpass after her first album, she actually PASSED them all and NO BITCH has passed her since. With ONE actual album and ONE ACTUAL era. Not waiting to release her second album out of fear, scrapping the mess, and then grouping 7 years-worth of singles to give another illusion.

Correct message but you have the artists reversed. We're speaking overall here, not picking and choosing. And when Nicki is featured, she's actually the main attraction/draw.

Ya'll keep saying "assist" as if Nicki wasn't hired/paid to appear on records to ELEVATE them and push them.

You don't call a specific rapper to hop on your track and pay them generously to do so because they need assistance. You call them cuz you feel YOU need THEIR assistance.

It's a horribly weak argument/talking point.

But I'm sure in this anti-Nicki universe many of you reside in, it makes perfect sense so I won't bother pushing back too much. Just wanted to bring a bit of logic to your attention.
Title: Re: RIAA: Cardi B is the best selling female rapper
Post by: Ulysses on October 11, 2025, 02:35:51 PM
It's also pretty safe to say that icki's biggest success is being a pop act. We shouldn't even consider her a "rapper". Biggie is probably rolling around in his grave when "Starships" or "Super Bass" plays
Title: Re: RIAA: Cardi B is the best selling female rapper
Post by: The Only BLACK Kalmyks on October 11, 2025, 02:56:00 PM
And the article that May posted added that asterisk/footnote for good reason.

The RIAAs standard, widespread practice of excluding features when tallying these things is not relevant to rap culture at all.

A bragging right of many rappers is how well their features do and how much they get paid for them.

It's ALWAYS been a huge point in hierarchy placement among rappers. Anyone actually familiar with rap culture should probably know this.

if ur not in here tryna drag tf out of her, ur in here worshipping her and throwing urself in the line of fire.

ThatGrapeJuice framed the article as if this was some press release from the RIAA

......as if the RIAA "said" something they didn't.

there is no evidence of this.

this is deceptive/misleading reporting for views/clicks, and is tacky and desperate as those hundreds of ads on that website.
