Cardi B Boosts Megan Thee Stallion’s New Single Sales by Nearly 6,500%
The collaboration between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion continues to be a powerful force in hip-hop. Both artists are renowned figures in the industry and have a history of creating Һit songs together. This week, Cardi B significantly boosted sales of Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Wanna Be,” featuring Glorilla, by joining a highly-anticipated remix.
The remix of “Wanna Be” that includes Cardi B led to a tremendous increase in sales. Last week, the song sold 13,124 copies in the U.S. alone. This figure is impressive on its own but becomes even more remarkable when compared to the previous week’s sales. Before Cardi B’s involvement, “Wanna Be” sold only 199 copies, according to Luminate.
This means that Cardi B’s addition to the remix caused sales to skyrocket by 6,494%, a staggering increase in just a few days, clearly attributable to the new version of the song.
The surge in purchases has propelled “Wanna Be” back into the top 10 of the Digital Song Sales chart. The track had previously reached the top spot when it was first released and has now returned to the highest ranks.
Interestingly, despite the remix’s success, Cardi B is not officially credited on the charts for “Wanna Be.” Billboard typically credits additional artists on a song if their version becomes the most popular. However, in this case, it seems the original version of the song remained the most purchased, keeping Cardi B’s nаme off the official chart listing.
This impressive sales boost underscores the strong impact Cardi B continues to have in the music industry, especially when collaborating with other top artists like Megan Thee Stallion.
