If this isn't the biggest fact when it comes to Cardi B's career. She spent like all season tryna get DJ Self to take her serious, look at her now.

I really like Cardi B's personality. She's real but her songs just sound the same. And that's the problem with the new school rappers.

Cardi B has finally released her new debut album "Invasion of Privacy."

Invasion of Privacy finally dropped and it’s already doing numbers. The album hasn't even been out for a full 24 hours, and it’s reportedly already one for the books as far as the RIAA is concerned.

Cardi B's album is already certified gold, making her the first female artist to achieve a Gold-certified album on the day of its release. Cardi B's quick certification is all thanks to this technicality.

Hold up, so because of how big Bodak Yellow was and they placed it on the album, it automatically went gold? Not because of the other songs?

So pretty much the Gold certification status for Cardi B's album was based on one song not the album as a whole... I guess that's a smart move by her team.

She put the single 'Bodak Yellow' out months ago which went 5x platinum. She added that to her album almost a year later and they are counting all the Bodak Yellow sales.

So technically it’s not true album sales that made her go Gold this fast. Happy for her but it’s not 100% true and a slap to other artists.

Exactly I get that streams are a thing now and it can be useful but it’s just embarrassing now if we’re being real.

Proud of her, and Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy it'll go platinum from real sales of the album, but I don't think it's right that an album can go gold before it's even released, all because of ONE song's streaming numbers.

It doesn't make sense to me.

Drake has been doing that for years. Puts three big singles (platinum ) on the album to run the numbers up.

Cardi B, not the only artist who adds hit singles to their album. Drake, Nicki, and others did it as well, so stop being haters.

We live in a streaming era, where artists get their sales by us paying streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify to stream music and which add to their sales.

Yeah it is played out but the reason her album went gold is because of the plays Bodak Yellow already has it go towards the album.

Wait so it was because she put Bodak Yellow on the album. Who is on her marketing team because I never heard of this before.

This is the best strategic move. Even though it might not have gotten gold within 24 hrs because of real plays that were a good move because she still is RIAA certified at the end of the day.

Of course, it did. The music and artists of this generation don't have to be good to be successful.
