Cardi B Crushes the System — Female Rap Queen Dominates Apple Music’s Top 500 With 8 Hits!


In a shocking shake-up of the music streaming hierarchy, Cardi B now holds the record for the most songs by a female rapper on Apple Music's Top 500 Most Streamed Songs of All Time list — tallying a staggering 8 entries.

This milestone positions her alongside giants such as Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, and Drake, who currently top the all-time streaming charts.

Notably, Drake dominates with 27 entries, while Cardi B claims her spot with unparalleled female rap representation .


One of her flagship tracks, “Bodak Yellow,” is celebrated as the most streamed female rap song in Apple Music history.

The track’s impact isn’t limited to rap charts — it's an emblem of Cardi's cultural power and an emblem of female empowerment in the hip-hop scene.

Apple Music's Top 500 list, released as part of its 10‑year anniversary celebration, showcases a decade of global listening habits.

It’s a moment to appreciate the seismic influence of modern streaming — and Cardi’s dominance is impossible to ignore.

This feat amplifies Cardi’s impressive résumé, which includes a tally of Diamond-certified singles like “Bodak Yellow,” “Girls Like You,” and “I Like It”.

But beyond industry accolades, her Apple Music achievement signals a powerful shift.

Yet, controversy simmers. Critics argue streaming charts remain male-dominated, with Cardi’s success being an outlier rather than a rule.

Others question if streaming truly reflects artistic merit or is skewed by playlist placements, algorithms, and marketing pushes.

What do you think? Is Cardi B’s dominance a sign of genuine progress for women in rap — or a token statistic in a still-male-led streaming world?
