"Bodak Yellow" serves as Cardi's debut single under Altantic Records and has steadily climbed the charts since it's June release. Last month, in a sit down with the New York Times the femcee's team predicted a No. 1 victory for the bass-heavy track. As Joanna Nikas reported, after Cardi asked her publicist how they would celebrate "if" the song hit the top of the charts, Cardi was corrected. "Don't say 'if," publicist Patientce Foster said. "When." 

The song now marks the first solo woman-fronted rap single to ascend to the top of the charts since Lauryn Hill's 1998 effort "(Doo Wop) That Thing." Ahead of Monday's Hot 100 reveal, J. Cole took to Twitter to congratulate Cardi on her success and offer a word of advice. "Don't put all that pressure on your album," he advised. "You already won."
