Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow' Makes Rap History, Knocks Taylor Swift From No. 1

It's official: Cardi B has the No. 1 song in the country as "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" has replaced Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" as the chart-topper on Billboard's Hot 100.

In the weekly report, which was posted on Monday afternoon (September 25), Billboard revealed that the rap anthem landed at the top spot for a number of reasons. First up, it's currently at the No. 2 position on the Streaming Songs chart with 46.4 million U.S. streams and has made its way to the No. 13 spot on radio with 62 million all-format audience impressions. "Bodak" also moved 56,000 downloads sold in the week ending September 21, courtesy of a strategic 69-cent discount.

Cardi B makes rap history with this accomplishment as "Bodak Yellow" marks the first time a solo female rapper has done so since Lauryn Hill debuted at No. 1 in 1998 with "Doo Wop (That Thing)." She becomes the fifth female rapper ever to lead the Hot 100 chart after Hill and respective collaborations from the likes of Lil' Kim, Shawnna and Iggy Azalea.
