I have a rough draft of a receipts thread for Lil' Kim that I never got around to finishing and posting, so I have a bunch of corrections because, as I doublechecked and researched her chart history, I found that there are a lot of mistakes that people have made over the years (some for the better, some for the worse).
I'm pretty sure Crush on You flopped. This song incorrectly has been given the chart positions of #6 (and I guess #16 now too) on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Rap Songs by a number of sources (none of them being Billboard which doesn't have any chart listings for it.) I checked the top ten on the Hot Rap Songs chart for most of 1997 and it did not appear once. It only impacted the UK chart at #23 for 5 weeks.
Though, I haven't had the time to check the Hot 100 again since they unlocked it so we could see more than just the top ten in the archives, I'm pretty sure it didn't chart at all in America unless someone can provide a chart in the archive that contradicts that.
Not Tonight only peaked at #2... It isn't listed among any of the #1s on the Rap Songs chart in
1997 or
1998. You actually can peep its peak and weeks spent on the chart
here (this was after it peaked and is at #10 that week).
Both of those make: "Not Tonight became Lil' Kim's third consecutive number 1 hit on the Rap Songs chart (No Time, Crush On You), becoming the first female rapper to do so." incorrect.
I believe "The Jump Off" peaked at #17 not #16, but that could've just been a typo of mine.
The Notorious Kim reached #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The Naked Truth peaked at #2 on the Billboard Rap Albums chart, her only album to appear there.
In the OP, totals for the B200 weeks are off. You can find the correct ones here:

A lot of her albums barely charted outside of North America so idk how she would sell like x2 outside of there.
