Nicki Minaj Blocks Cardi B From No. 1 On The Charts With A Years-Old Song
Nicki Minaj's "Win Again" has topped the charts, pushing Cardi B out of the number one spot with a song that is over five years old. According to Billboard, Minaj's track has been revived by fans in recent weeks, coinciding with renewed tension between the two artists.
The hip-hop superstar's return to the top spot comes as no surprise, given her long-standing reign on multiple charts.

Instead, Minaj's existing track has been propelled back into the spotlight by fans who are using it to show their support for the artist.
"It's a testament to Nicki's enduring popularity and her ability to connect with her fans," said Dr. Jessica Williams, a music industry expert at New York University. "The fact that this song is over five years old and still managing to top the charts speaks volumes about Minaj's staying power."
Minaj's resurgence has been fueled by a renewed sense of rivalry between herself and Cardi B. The two artists have had a complicated history, with periods of public feuding and tension. However, it appears that Minaj's fans are using "Win Again" as a way to counter Cardi B's recent success on the charts.
"It's not just about the music; it's about the cultural significance," said music journalist, Dorian Sowles. "Nicki's fans are using this song as a way to express their loyalty and support for her, while also sending a message to Cardi B that they won't be silenced."
