On Sunday night, Cardi B posted a video to social media of her walking down a short flight of steps. There, she revealed that an announcement would be made sometime on Monday. 

This immediately hyped up her fans as they believed that this would mean that either a new single or album announcement would be coming. This is after a recent report by Page Six that details about new music were coming and a new single was being “ironed out.” 

The announcement ended up being made as Cardi will have a new single titled “Up” coming on February 5. This will not feature any artists as it will be the first solo single for Cardi since 2019’s platinum single, “Press.” 

Cardi took to her Twitter and Instagram feeds to tell her fans the good news as she said “My new single “Up” drops this Friday! LETS GOOOOOO! #Up” 

Cardi had massive success with her “WAP” single featuring Megan Thee Stallion last fall and fans have been craving new music since then. 

Following Cardi’s announcement for the “Up” single, the fans definitely showed their excitement on Twitter as they believe that Cardi may have another hit on her hands and even reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart again. This may very well be the case as Cardi is still one of the hottest artists in the world.

In addition to the “Up” single arriving on Friday, many fans believe that Cardi‘s second album will be on the way as well. The wait has been a long one as her debut project, “Invasion Of Privacy,” was released back in April 2018. That did end up being one of the biggest debut albums in history, though. That album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and is 3x platinum in the United States. Many wonder if the sophomore project will see the same success that IOP did. 

Cardi still has a lot of momentum on her side leading up to the release of this new single. Her “WAP” single feat. Megan Thee Stallion is still one of the hottest songs in the country as it currently stands at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

When “Up” is released, expect that record to crack the top five of the Hot 100 along with WAP to begin soaring on this chart again as well. From this point, it looks like Cardi will have another dominant year.
