Cardi B breaks Taylor Swift record on Apple Music with her debut album Invasion of Privacy

The rapper hit more than 100m streams worldwide for her debut album

Cardi B has broken Apple Music's most--streamed record for a female artist in its first week with her debut album Invasion of Privacy.

Before the rapper earned this title, Taylor Swift held the honour for her latest album Reputation.

By mid-week, Cardi B had doubled the streams of Swift's Reputation, Variety reports.

While Cardi B broke streaming records after four days, however, Reputation wasn't actually available for streaming until three weeks after release.

Currently Invasion of Privacy is at the number five spot on Apple Music's worldwide chart for most-streamed albums ever.

She's even beat out Ed Sheeran's Divide and The Weeknd's Starboy.

It's likely that Invasion of Privacy will top next week's albums chart, which would place Cardi B as the fifth female artist to hit number one on the Billboard 200.

The only other female rappers to do this have been Nicki Minaj (twice), Foxy Brown, Even and Lauryn Hill.

Invasion of Privacy was released on April 6 to critical acclaim.

During the same week, she performed on Saturday Night Live where she confirmed her pregnancy with fiance, Migos' Offset.

This weekend Cardi B will perform at California's Coachella music festival with a slew of tour dates to come through October.
