Last week, reports emerged thatMaroon 5 is the front-runner for the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show.

Today, Cardi B has come along to make the case for why they should probably just be runner-up.
Maroon 5 and Cardi B have scored the No.
Girls is Maroon 5s fourth No.
1 in their career; its now Cardis third No.
1 song in her career … all accomplished inless than a year.
(Maroons 5s first No.
1 was in 2007.)

Girls is Maroon 5s first No.
1since 2012; their last before that also needed a female assist,from Christina Aguilera.
