Cardi B accepts Best New Artist onstage during the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards which broadcasted live on TBS, TNT, and truTV at The Forum on March 11, 2018 in Inglewood, California.

Cardi B now has two platinum records without an album out.

The Cardi B craze hasn't died down one bit since the virality of "Bodak Yellow." The rapper's debut album, Invasion Of Privacy will finally drop tonight and fans are wildly excited to hear what she has in store for the project. She only announced the album last week and she's been on a heavy roll out since then by dropping two new singles and the official video for the 21 Savage assisted single "Bartier Cardi." The release of the video has now helped the single reach a new level in sales.

Cardi B's "Bartier Cardi" featuring 21 Savage has officially hit the million unit moved mark and is now certified platinum, chart data reports. It's interesting because the certification comes shortly after the video dropped and right before the release of her album, Invasion Of Privacy. The recent certification for "Bartier Cardi" makes it her second platinum certification. It comes a little over a month after "Bartier" went gold. However, as "Bodak Yellow" recently hit 5x platinum, it'll be interesting to see if "Bartier" can reach that same milestone.

Cardi has a massive week ahead of her. With her album dropping tonight, she'll also be taking over the SNL stage as the musical guest on Saturday. In addition, she'll be co-hosting "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon on Monday. The gig makes Cardi B the first co-host in the history of the "Tonight Show."
