From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Cardi B has become the first female artist in history to have five of the top 10 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in a single week since the list began in 1958.

The rapper saw five of her tracks appear on the chart for 20 January, beating a previous record where she and Beyonce were tied with four in the previous two weeks of 6 and 13 January.

She now ties with Drake and Kendrick Lamar for the most concurrent top 10s, according to Billboard: Drake has achieved the feat eight times, all in 2016, while Lamar managed it once in 2017.

Her latest collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Finesse (Remix),” is currently at the top of the chart, while the G-Eazy collab “No Limit” sits at No. 3.

Her tracks “Motorsport,” “Bartier Cardi” and “Bodak Yellow” sit at No. 4, No. 7 and No. 10, respectively.

And she may soon have a sixth track on the chart, thanks to a collaboration with Yo Gotti which is expected to drop soon.

“Say where I'm at? K.O.D./Where I'm at? I'm at LIV/What I'm doin'? Poppin' pussy/Where he at? At the crib,” Cardi can be heard rapping a preview of the song.
