In what can only come as great news for the Rapper, Nicki Minaj‘s new single ‘Pound The Alarm’ continues to soar on the UK Singles Chart this week.
The highest rising cut on the tally, its ascent also makes it one of the fastest selling numbers of the year- well on its way to surpassing feats scored by her earlier hit ‘Starships‘.
More below…
Now perched at #16, ‘Alarm’ has climbed a mind blowing 136 spots on the charts in the space of three weeks, rising by 18 places since last Sunday.
This, while her new album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘ drops 5 places to #25 after a cool 14 weeks on the LP tally- 33 places above her debut album ‘Pink Friday‘ which holds court at #58, one spot up from last week.
As if that wasn’t enough, her David Guetta produced smash ‘Turn Me On‘ has also enjoyed a sales bump, fist pumping up the chart by 33 spots in a single week.
All of this, extending Minaj’s lead as the highest charting Femcee in UK history.

well can they do it? if not then shes walking the talk.
People always say this and this but mostly every commercial female rapper has dabble in pop, including lil kim, Trina, and missy elliott.
Nicki is doing both, her pop songs are just whats making noise on the charts.
Its funny when right by my side was out, people wasn’t mentioning that it was not a pop song.
these days good straight rap is practically unheard of.
Kanye and jay does it but they already had a huge fan base and established themselves with radio before now.
Rick ross and his crew is bland, he does the rap that destroys the good rap because he raps about the same thing.
Wiz khalifa, snoop dog, BOB, and florida are doing pop music too. Not to mention so many rnb artists.
Do I love it? nah, but it is what it is. Blame yaselves for not supporting good rap music when its out.

neither is “I’m Human” or “Right Now” by Lil’ Kim… Kim often speaks on how her second album was not well accepted by her street fanbase b/c it was too much of an advanced, techno sound on some tracks… Nicki is breaking RECORDS, not just Hip-Hop.

There’re so much artists who’re through with sales and stuff. Lil’ Kim is one of them.
She’s an ORIGINAL rapper, wether this how takes it or not.
Nicki thinks that “You a rapper, you should sing rap. But if you wanna be winnin’, so you better load some Pop on your Hip-Hop recs”.
Or something like that.
and You see what’s happening.
Her album is becoming a JOKE as a Hip-Hop.
TBH, since she considered it the female version of Jay-Z’s “THE BLUEPRINT”, I’ve been like “fuck WHAT?” …

Nicki Minaj isn’t a rapper. She’s just another gimmick pop singer. You don’t see REAL RAPPERS, like Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, Missy Eliott, Eve, Lil’ Wayne, etc recording dance euro trash songs. They respect their roots. They know their real fanbase doesn’t buy this kind of song. She never had a real urban hit on the mainstream radios. And the biggest reason behind her last album’s failure is because she jumped on the dance bandwagon. I REFUSE CALL HER A RAPPER. Actually, I refuse call her an urban artist. Well, actually, I refuse calling her an artist. She’s just a Lady Gaga wannabe with big boobs.

Essentially your fave is a waste of space in the music industry. Point. Blank. Period.

wait. But. Rapping is a VOCAL style. If you think YOU can do better, where is YOUR hit song? Where are YOUR #1 albums, platinum albums, 1x 2x 3x 4x platinum singles? Pepsi endorsement? MAC&OPI endorsements? Grammy nominations? BET Awards? MTV Awards? VMA awards?*drinks Pepsi and waits* the fact that you fail to realize that Moment 4 Life was her Urban hit, and Beez In The Trap was too…comparing her to all the new shitty rappers out there, you should be GRATEFUL for her music. Her lyricism comes close to that of LIL WAYNE’S. Now TELL me what artist can do that? She doesn’t remember her ROOTS? What?! Don’t judge an artist based off of SINGLES, child. People release SINGLES that will sell. Have you not heard CHAMPION? HOV LANE? ROMAN RELOADED? I AM YOUR LEADER? Come on, son. Educate yourself before you start making ignorant statements on an artist you clearly know nothing about. Missy Elliot must not be a rapper, because HER ass did more producing and singing than she did rapping, or did you NOT hear her first album? Or her second album? Okay. How is she a Lady GaGa wannabe? To be honest, that is so TIRED. Name the most RECENT crazy outfit she wore. The Grammy’s. 5 months ago. SHe hasn’t been doing ANYTHING crazy. Compare her to Lil Kim, please. It’s less insulting, and something you can prove.

If she didn’t say anything while he did push the other dude clearly she accept that kind of behavior and obviously that’s not the only time he has done it.And she’s yelled at someone because of her eyebrows and she does have a a stink attitude. Hence, she could never keep a job because she was always cussing people out.

What I don’t get. If so many of you hate Nicki Minaj, why are you wasting your energy being pressed about her. She’s living her life, she’s making her money, she has her fans. Why do any of you think your opinion matters? Why are you checking up on her, if you don’t like her? Why are you clicking on blogs with her name in the title? Beyond me, is what it is. I guess common sense really ISN’T common anymore. Since I have common sense, let me break this down for you: *memo from Common Sense* Common Sense SAYS: If you DON’T like an artist, don’t LISTEN to them, don’t WATCH them, don’t CLICK on ANYTHING that has their NAME IN IT, don’t COMMENT on anything about them, don’t THINK about them. The fact that an artist has you so PRESSED that you waste even 1 minute of your LIFE, TALKING about them…that is just BEYOND me.

Lil Kim just mad some other hoe took her place. Kim has already done pop… she popped her p***y to her paypal number one album! Then popped it again to get that back alley surgery that makes heidi Montana’s post cosmetic appearance look like it fell straight from heaven.
Back to nickI, she is what she is … a rap artist for the mainstream masses. She spits fire when she wants to but that’s what shes no longer popular for. Like it or not she s a black gaga … a gay icon. Someone who expresses her personality that’s why she’s popular. Her pop music is care free. No one checks for hiphop nicki that much but then in general there’s a marked decline in the popularity of r&b and hiphop anyway. The rest of you hoes/heaters need to stfu cause seriously the world is begin for everyone. Carry on hating cause ain’t no one gonna love ya
