As has been the case more often than not this year, Cardi B is the highest-ranking solo female act on this week’s Billboard Artist 100.<\/p>\n
Cardi B takes #7 on the overall chart, which ranks the top artists based on American album and song consumption as well as factors like social media activity.<\/p>\n
Aided by the release of her album “Liberation,” Christina Aguilera takes second among solo female artists. She is #8 on the overall chart.<\/p>\n
Ariana Grande is #3 for females (and #14 overall), while Taylor Swift is #4 for females (and #17 overall). Nicki Minaj closes out the Top 5 for solo female acts (she is #19 on the overall chart).<\/p>\n
Other high-ranking female artists include Camila Cabello (#6 female, #21 overall), Dua Lipa (#7 female, #22 overall), Ella Mai (#8 female, #31 overall), Halsey (#9 female, #43 overall), and Selena Gomez (#10 female, #46 overall).<\/p>\n
The “solo” distinction is important this week. The Carters – consisting of male Jay-Z and female Beyonce – appear at a higher position (#3 on the overall list) than any individual female act this week. Female four-piece BLACKPINK (#33 on the overall list) would appear in the Top 10 if group acts were included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardi B’s reign as the top solo female artist continues.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[692,5324,7298,639,6960,10531,4585,288,132,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
