It appears that Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy Now is starting to pick up steam after Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 was released.
Cardi’s five-year-old project was a historic release; it achieved enormous success and remained on the charts for years on end. The album re-entered the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap list in the United States on Friday, December 8, and climbed to No. 2, right behind Nicki’s most recent release.
Since the iTunes chart is a compilation of songs and albums that have been purchased through iTunes, the new statistics do not account for streaming volume on Apple’s own platform.
As of this writing, several Eminem albums, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Ԁie Tryin’, and three earlier Nicki Minaj albums are among the other catalog releases that are listed on the chart.
It appeared as though Invasion of Privacy had returned to the iTunes list at number five, but it didn’t take long for it to take the top place.
It remаins to be seen if Cardi’s debut album will return to the Billboard 200 album chart as a result of the iTunes surge.
