The Best Albums of the Decade, Ranked
30. Cardi B, Invasion of Privacy, (2018)
While already a social media presence and reality TV star, the height of Cardi B’s career came at the release of her debut studio album. This hip-hop record, with traces of R&B, Latin, and trap, was met with critical acclaim, particularly because of the album’s combination of dance tracks with feelings of sexuality and vulnerability.
With guest performances by J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Khelani, and YG, this album hit the number one spot on the US Billboard 200 as well as Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
