Nicki Minaj's 'Win Again' soars up the charts amid Cardi B feud
'Win Again' is climbing the charts over 10 years after its release.
Nicki Minaj added another No.1 song to her list after her track, 'Win Again', reached the top spot on US iTunes this week.
The song was featured in the deluxe edition of her 2014 album, 'The Pinkprint'. It is also back on the chart in South Africa, Portugal, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and the Bahamas.
'Win Again' knocked 'Golden', a song from Netflix's 'Kpop Demon Hunters' movie, off the #1 spot.
"Only Nicki can drop a song 11 years ago and still outsell half the industry today. That’s not a comeback, that’s a timeline correction," one X user wrote.
According to Chart Data, Minaj reportedly is the rapper with the most number-one songs on the US iTunes chart. 'Win Again' extends her record to 48.

The song's rise coincides with a fiery exchange between Minaj and her longtime nemesis, Cardi B.
The rappers exchanged harsh words on X. The drama started after Minaj shared an interesting update on social media shortly after Cardi B released her new album, 'Am I the Drama?'.
"3:27.26," she wrote. It was later revealed to be the release date of her new album.
Cardi B fans slammed Minaj's album announcement, accusing her of trying to steal the 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker's spotlight.
"I truly hope Nicki finds whatever she’s missing in life so she can sit on her throne without feeling like she has to compete with the ladies in the game," one Instagram user said.
Oh Barbz, I love you so.

I promise you that 3.27.26 will be my biggest gift thus far to you. You’ve made a special day of me becoming a mom to the most awesome little guy in the whole wide world—even more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined. Thank you.
God save the Barbz. https://t.co/r7fYrGTdEY
It wasn't long before Cardi B and Nicki Minaj started fighting online. They hurled insults at each other, including jabs at their children.
Minaj has a son with her husband Kenneth Petty, whom she calls 'Papa Bear'. Cardi B has three children with ex-husband Offset: Kulture, Wave and Blossom.
She is expecting her fourth child with NFL star Stefon Diggs.
"Kulture u a roach & a monkey. Like your sister," Minaj tweeted. "Kulture a vulture and her mama a crow?"
Cardi B clapped back with an equally venomous reply.
"Papa Bear I’m sorry you can’t speak and banging spoons because your mom couldn’t put the drugs down… I’m sorry your mom not even paying attention to you on your own birthday cuz she such a obsessed and dark spirted hating ho.. I’m so sorry," she tweeted.
Ouch!

Minaj told Cardi B her new album flopped, accusing her of inflating sales.
"Why you keep bringing up my album? It’s not the gag that you think it is. You been in the game like 16 years... you need to compare yourself to YOUR peers that started around YOUR time. Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Drake," she wrote.
"Those are the numbers you need to be competing wit and you can’t cuz you doing lower than all of them… I was in high school when you came out wtf is you comparing yourself to me for?"
'Am I the Drama?' debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in America, earning 200,000 units in its first week,
Several songs from the album are also featured on the Billboard 100 Songs chart. Her collaboration with Kehlani, 'Safe', debuted at #26.
We're not sure who is winning their Twitter beef, but they both are winning on the charts.
