<a href="/profile/Cardi-B" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Cardi B</a> just hit the world with a massive karate chop, going up with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/cardi-b-is-back-with-her-latest-banger-up-new-song.1990161.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">her new single &#8220;Up&#8221;</a> as it debuts at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Proving that she could follow up &#8220;WAP&#8221; with another bang, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/cardi-b-teases-imminent-album-release-i-just-gotta-focus-on-a-couple-of-more-songs-news.126547.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Cardi B made a big splash on the Billboard Hot 100</a> with her record debuting in the Top 10. Starting off at #2, &#8220;Up&#8221; becomes Cardi&#8217;s ninth Top 10 record of all-time on the Hot 100, and it also makes some pretty remarkable history. According to Chart Data, the song also becomes the highest-debuting solo track by a female rapper this century on the chart, marking the first time since <a href="/profile/OfficialLaurynHill" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lauryn Hill</a>&#8217;s &#8220;Doo Wop (That Thing)&#8221; that a woman in rap hits such a high peak right off the bat all by herself.

Elsewhere on the chart, <a href="/profile/TheWeeknd" class="text-word" target="_blank" >The Weeknd</a> continues to be a strong force with two songs, &#8220;Blinding Lights&#8221; and &#8220;Save Your Tears&#8221;, reaching the Top 5 of the chart. This also extends The Weeknd&#8217;s record for the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/the-weeknds-blinding-lights-is-the-biggest-chart-hit-of-the-century-news.126362.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">longest-running Top 10 single in Hot 100 history</a>, spending 49 weeks there with &#8220;Blinding Lights&#8221;.
