More landing behind "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA

The Grammy winner nearly secures a new champion on some of Billboard’s most competitive style-specific tallies, but another one of the most successful names in the history of rap music blocks her. “Outside” Starts Behind Kendrick Lamar “Outside” debuts at No. 2 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts this week

Cardi lands behind Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s collaboration “Luther,” which has been running the show for months

That track earns its twenty-seventh stay atop both of those consumption-based rosters

It recently became the longest-running No. 1 in the history of those two charts, and each week that it holds on, the song extends its lead and makes history once again

Cardi B’s Collection of No. 1 Smashes Cardi has already claimed the top spot on both rankings in the past, where she enters in second place this time, so a No. 2 start isn’t too disappointing

She has racked up half a dozen stints ruling the Hot Rap Songs ranking and one more on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally

She’s also accrued more than 20 top 10s on the two busy lists. “Outside” Enters at No. 1 on Several Billboard Charts While “Outside” misses the throne on multiple rankings, it does conquer the Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Rap Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop ing Songs, and Rap ing Songs charts
