Cardi B’s latest album Am I the Drama? continues as one of the most popular releases in America, even as it begins to descend on multiple charts. The highly anticipated project — her first in seven years and only second full-length ever — arrived less than a month ago and quickly became a No. 1 on multiple rankings.
This frame, Cardi scores another No. 1 hit on a Billboard chart as Am I the Drama? tune “ErrTime” finds its way to the summit on just one list. What’s most interesting about her latest leader is that the rapper manages to replace herself atop a tally, trading a smash for another.
“ErrTime” Gives Cardi B Another No. 1 Hit
“ErrTime” debuted last week at No. 13 on Billboard’s Rap Streaming Songs chart. The ranking measures the most-played rap-only tunes in the United States on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others, and this time around, Cardi rockets from just outside the highest tier to No. 1.
Cardi B Replaces Herself at No. 1 on a Billboard Chart
As “ErrTime” bolts to the summit, Cardi swaps one No. 1 for another on the Rap Streaming Songs ranking. Last week, she ruled alongside Kehlani with “Safe,” the most recent single from Am I the Drama? This period, “Safe” falls to No. 5, following a pattern that many Am I the Drama? tunes are experiencing at the moment.
A Remix with Latto Makes “ErrTime” a Smash
“ErrTime” appears on the standard version of Am I the Drama? as a solo cut, but it’s a collaborative remix that makes it a big win. Days after the album dropped, a reworked take featuring Latto became available. Sales of both songs are lumped together for charting purposes, which helps the track surge and hit No. 1.
How Many No. 1s Has Cardi B Charted?
As “ErrTime” shoots to No. 1, Cardi scores her eighth career champion on the Rap Streaming Songs tally. She has previously led with “WAP” (with Megan Thee Stallion), “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” “Up,” “Tomorrow 2” (with GloRilla), “Outside,” “Please Me” (with Bruno Mars), and, of course, “Safe.”
How Many Streaming Hits Has Cardi B Scored?
Cardi doesn’t just earn a new No. 1 this week — she also ups her count of top 10 smashes on the streaming-only roster. 33 tunes with her name attached have broken into the uppermost register on the Rap Streaming Songs chart. Only 10 other Cardi cuts have made it to the list without finding their way into the loftiest region.
“ErrTime” Misses No. 1 By One Space
Cardi almost collects multiple new No. 1s in America this week but misses out on doing so by just one space. “ErrTime” pushes to the runner-up spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs chart after settling at No. 15 last week. In a bit of coincidence, Cardi is beaten to the peak position by “Folded” from collaboration partner Kehlani, which pushes from No. 3 to first place.

“ErrTime” is quickly turning out to be one of the biggest hits from Am I the Drama? The track appears on nine different Billboard charts this week, and it is almost uniformly climbing. The cut holds at its all-time best of No. 3 on the Rap Digital Song Sales chart and debuts at No. 25 on the all-genre Streaming Songs tally.
The tune reaches a new high point and improves on the other seven rosters on which it can be found, in what has turned out to be a huge week for a fan favorite from Cardi’s long-awaited sophomore set. The female rapper collects a new top 10 with “ErrTime” on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, Hot Rap Songs and, as mentioned, the Rap Streaming Songs list simultaneously.
After kicking off its time on the Hot 100 at No. 65, “ErrTime” manages to beat the odds and better its standing. Cardi nearly snags a new top 40 success, as it lifts more than 20 spaces to a new peak of No. 43. If this trend continues, “ErrTime” may crack that special region soon, and could potentially grow to No. 1 on multiple other rosters where it’s just a few spaces away at present.
