Call it HERstory.

The Bronx born and raised rapper, Cardi B (who’s of Dominican descent) just made Billboard history by having her first three hits on the charts enter the top ten simultaneously in the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

After 6 weeks in the number 1 spot, her “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” slid to #2 while debuting “Motorsport” at #5 ( a collaboration with Migos and Nicki Minaj) as her feature on G-Eazy’s “No Money” track moved into #10.

This isn’t the first time a woman has had three hit top ten songs simultaneously on the charts but Cardi is the first to see her first top ten at the same time on that coveted list.

Not bad for a woman from The Bronx, eh?
