Megan Thee Stallion & Cardi B Shatter Records: Only Female Rappers to Conquer iTunes Charts in 2025

Donovan CarterDonovan CarterOctober 26, 20254 Minutes read

In a significant milestone for hip hop, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Lover Girl” has claimed the No. 1 spot on the U.S. iTunes chart, continuing the trend of **Female Rappers iTunes** success in 2025. This achievement places her alongside Cardi B as the only female rappers to have secured the top position on the platform with solo rap songs throughout the year, underscoring a powerful year for women in the music industry and highlighting **Female Rappers iTunes** chart dominance.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Lover Girl” Hits Number One: A Triumph for Female Rappers iTunes

Released on October 24, 2025, “Lover Girl” marks Megan Thee Stallion’s first No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes chart for the year. This success is a significant win for **Female Rappers iTunes** impact. The track showcases a departure from some of her previous high-energy anthems, embracing a more sensual and melodic style infused with R&B undertones. The song is built around a sample of Total’s classic 1996 hit, “Kissin’ You,” offering a nostalgic nod to the era of smooth R&B and glossy hip-hop soul. The accompanying music video, directed by Megan herself, complements the track’s vibe with late ’90s-inspired visuals and features Megan in a series of glamorous looks. While “Lover Girl” has been met with some divided opinions among critics and fans, its commercial success on iTunes is undeniable, further proving the power of **Female Rappers iTunes** presence.

Many interpret “Lover Girl” as a deeply personal reflection, inspired by Megan’s public relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson, whom she began dating in July 2025. Lyrics such as “I had to lock in when I found out he could handle me” and “My n**ga say ‘My lady,’ he never say ‘My b*tch'” suggest a mature and contented phase in her romantic life, contributing to the narrative surrounding **Female Rappers iTunes** appeal.

Cardi B’s Consistent Chart Dominance and Female Rappers iTunes Success in 2025

Cardi B has also demonstrated remarkable chart prowess throughout 2025, solidifying her status as a consistent chart-topper and a key figure in **Female Rappers iTunes** history. She previously reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes with her singles “Magnet” and “ErrTime (Remix).” Furthermore, her highly anticipated sophomore album, “Am I The Drama?,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the U.S. iTunes albums chart upon its release on September 19, 2025. This album’s debut marked the biggest week for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman in 2025 and secured Cardi B’s position as the only female rapper in history to debut her first two albums atop the Billboard 200. Her **Cardi B music success** is a major component of **Female Rappers iTunes** impact.

“Am I The Drama?” has been lauded for its variety of collaborators and Cardi B’s signature bold delivery, with tracks like “Magnet” and “Safe” featuring Kehlani charting significantly, showcasing strong **solo rap songs charts** performance. The album’s success, coupled with her previous single achievements, highlights Cardi B’s enduring influence in the music landscape and her contribution to **Female Rappers iTunes** dominance.

A Historic Duopoly: Female Rappers Own the iTunes Summit in 2025

The exclusive club of female rappers to reach No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes chart with solo rap songs in 2025 now consists solely of Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. This achievement is particularly noteworthy in an industry that has historically seen male artists dominate the top of music charts, and it is a significant win for **Female Rappers iTunes** recognition. It speaks volumes about the creative output, fan engagement, and commercial appeal of these two artists, who continue to break barriers and set new standards in the hip-hop genre, driving **hip hop industry trends** forward. Their **iTunes chart success** is a powerful indicator of their influence.

The Evolving Landscape of Hip Hop and Female Voices on iTunes

The 2025 music scene is increasingly defined by the strong presence and commercial success of female artists across various genres, especially hip-hop, influencing **women in music 2025**. Beyond chart-topping singles, women are influencing trends through their authentic storytelling, genre-bending sounds, and global reach. Established artists like Nicki Minaj continue to hold significant sway, while rising stars such as Doechii and GloRilla are redefining industry expectations with their innovative music and impactful careers. The collective success of Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B on the iTunes charts is a testament to this ongoing revolution, showcasing that **Female Rappers iTunes** presence is not just participating in the hip-hop culture but is actively shaping its future. The **female rappers charts** reflect this shift powerfully.

As the year draws to a close, the accomplishments of Megan Thee Stallion (“Lover Girl” being a prime example of **Megan Thee Stallion Lover Girl** impact) and Cardi B on the iTunes charts serve as powerful stories of individual triumph and collective progress for women in hip-hop. Their continued chart success underscores their undeniable impact on contemporary music and their lasting legacy within the genre, cementing their place in the annals of **Female Rappers iTunes** achievements.
