Cardi B’s 2018 debut studio album, “Invasion of Privacy,” has surpassed 5 billion streams on Spotify, setting a new platform record as the most-streamed rap album by a female artist. The milestone underscores the long-lasting popularity of tracks such as “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It” and “Be Careful,” which helped the Atlantic Records release win the Grammy for Best Rap Album in 2019. The latest wave of streaming achievements also saw several other artists crossing major thresholds on Spotify. Chris Brown and Young Thug’s 2020 mixtape “Slime & B” exceeded 1 billion plays, while pop band Why Don’t We reached the same mark with their 2018 single “8 Letters.” Mac Miller’s “Good News,” released posthumously in 2020, climbed past 500 million streams, and Dua Lipa’s 2019 hit “Don’t Start Now” hit 3 billion streams, cementing its status as one of the service’s most-played dance-pop tracks.
