    Overview

    This listing includes publishing royalties for Cardi B’s “Up,” released on February 5, 2021. The earnings pattern follows a classic post-release arc: a strong launch tied to early chart and media moments, then a natural step-down as listening settles into a steadier base. With a Dollar Age of roughly 4.8 years, the song is in its maturing phase—old enough to demonstrate staying power, yet current enough to remain culturally active.

    Artist & Song Information

    Cardi B’s “Up” (released February 5, 2021) became a runaway hit, debuting at No. 2 and rising to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 shortly after her high-visibility Grammys performance. On March 22, 2021—the same week “Up” hit No. 1—Billboard reported 22.7 million U.S. streams and 18,000 downloads in seven days. The RIAA later certified the track five times platinum.

    “Up” earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance and won the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Song, reinforcing both industry recognition and fan-voted enthusiasm. Year-end lists placed it among the best of 2021, with Billboard ranking it No. 22 on its staff list as critics highlighted the record’s momentum and Cardi’s command.
