Cardi B reigns on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart for the ninth time, leaping two places to No. 1 on the Aug. 16-dated ranking with “Outside.”

“Outside” also ascends a spot to No. 1 on Rap Airplay, becoming the rapper’s eighth ruler.

The track is Cardi B’s first leader on Rhythmic Airplay since 2021, when “Up” dominated for three weeks. In between “Up” and “Outside,” she notched nine entries, including four top 10s, paced by No. 2 peaks in 2023 for Latto’s “Put It on Da Floor Again,” on which Cardi B is featured, and the Megan Thee Stallion collaboration “Bongos.” She first led in 2017 with her premiere entry, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves).”

Cardi B has the fifth-most No. 1s on the chart by a woman, after Rihanna (17), Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj (12 each) and Doja Cat (11).
