Overview

• Hits Daily Double projects 125,000–150,000 album-equivalent units in week one, based on early streaming data that could exceed 100 million plays.
• Those projections, if they hold, would likely secure a No. 1 bow on the Billboard 200.
• The album was certified platinum by the RIAA within a day, boosted by the inclusion of past hits WAP and Up, which will not count toward Billboard’s first-week totals under chart rules.
• The 23-track release confronts her 2024 divorce from Offset and ongoing rap feuds with blunt, combative lyricism.
• Cardi publicly defended writing her diss track Magnet and tearfully thanked fans in a livestream, as promotion included a reported Guinness drone-delivery record and coverage of her pregnancy with NFL player Stefon Diggs.
