For Cardi B, 2017 was definitely her year. The 25-year-old hip-hop star made history in September as the second solo female rapper to hit No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart with her hit Bodak Yellow. She got engaged to her rapper boyfriend Offset in October and won several awards including BET Hip Hop Award for Best New Hip Hop Artist.

But the Bronx native's success doesn't stop there. She has kicked off 2018 with another impressive achievement: becoming the third act to have their first three songs on the Billboard Top 10 simultaneously.
