Thus, as of late February, women in lead roles have almost matched last year&#8217;s total time atop the Hot 100, as women as credited leads tallied eight weeks at No. 1 in all of 2018 (including the first six weeks on top for &#8220;Next&#8221;;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/camila-cabello\">Camila Cabello<\/a>&nbsp;and Cardi B also ruled for a week each as leads in 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017, women as lead acts spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, three each by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/taylor-swift\">Taylor Swift<\/a>&nbsp;(&#8220;Look What You Made Me Do&#8221;) and Cardi B (&#8220;Bodak Yellow [Money Moves]&#8221;).
