Nicki Minaj Versus Cardi B: Sales (2019)

The debate of who is currently the bigger artist between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B always pops up online between the fans of the two supper star rappers. I have decided to take time to post their current sales (album and singles) here today. Since both dropped albums last year (2018), I would be focusing on the sales of their individual albums and songs/singles sales. Which means, it will be a time frame between 2018-2019, nothing earlier. All sales data would be gotten from riaa.com (Recording Industry Association of America), so you can go on their website and check for yourself.

For those that don't know, platinum means an album has sold at least a million copies. Gold means an album has sold at least 500,000 copies. Here we go...
