In addition to its Hot Rap Songs debut, “AH HA” arrives at No. 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 25 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

Thanks to the new single, Cardi B achieves her 30th career top 10 hit on Hot Rap Songs and ties Gunna for the 13th-best sum on the 37-year-old chart. Drake ranks first among all artists with 156 top 10s; among women, Cardi B’s total is second only to Nicki Minaj’s 51. Cardi B’s collection started with “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),” which entered the top 10 via a 14-8 move on the ranking dated Aug. 26, 2017. The breakthrough smash later reached No. 1, the first of the rapper’s seven champs to date.

Furthermore, “AH HA” extends Cardi B’s streak of adding at least one new top 10 single on Hot Rap Songs to a 10th consecutive year, dating to her maiden “Bodak Yellow,” the first of three top 10s in 2017. She’s since followed with: 2018’s four, 2019 (four), 2020 (one), 2021 (two), 2022 (two), 2023 (two), 2024 (two), 2025 (nine) and “AH HA” in 2026.

While “AH HA” is currently a standalone single, its impact helps other Cardi B projects rise on the charts. The rapper’s latest album, 2025’s Am I The Drama?, rebounds 18-13 on Top Rap Albums. A former eight-week No. 1, the album earned 13,000 equivalent album units for the week, a 10% improvement from the previous week, and secures the Greatest Gainer honor for the largest increase in units.
