Cardi B is breaking records left and right following the release of her sophomore album.
Just hours after she dropped Am I The Drama?, the mother of four revealed that she has broken the Guinness World Record for the most albums delivered by drone in an hour. Thanks to Cardi's partnership with Walmart, Wing Drone Delivery, and Atlantic Records, fans were able to get her new album delivered to their homes via UAV drones. Kylie Galloway, a senior exec at Guinness World Records, told TMZ the drones made 176 deliveries in 60 minutes. Cardi B's first-ever Guinness World Record isn't the only accolade she achieved this weekend.
Cardi B's new album also reached platinum status soon after it dropped. Am I The Drama? includes her previous smash hits, "WAP" and "Up." Her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion was already 9x platinum before the album arrived, and "Up" was 5x platinum. Before her album hit the streets, Cardi defended her decision to include both previously released singles on her album.
“WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time… they deserve a home,” she wrote on X. “I let haters make me not submit WAP for the Grammy’s and at this point I’m giving my fans what they want!”
While her two hit singles may have helped her album go platinum, Cardi B's "WAP" and "Up" will not count toward her first-week sales. Early projections show the album is set to debut at No. 1 with 125K-150K units sold. Stay tuned for the final numbers.
