Nicki Minaj: ‘Beez In The Trap’ Outsells Madonna’s ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’.

e8b682e723f2bae814c3d75d0ba096fe Nicki Minaj: Beez In The Trap Outsells Madonnas Give Me All Your Luvin.

Contrary to popular belief, one doesn’t always need a note worthy chart position to score what is otherwise… a smash hit.

Sure, while most songs that that come under category usually come with a Top Ten position to show for its troubles, there are some cuts- especially  those of Hip Hop persuasion- that succeed in pulling in mega numbers without chart glory.

Now, in cementing her status as one of 2012′s highest selling acts, Nicki Minaj continues to surprise the world with fresh stats pulled on her single ‘Beez In The Trap‘. A single, many had written off as a commercial failure.

Despite peaking at #48 on the Hot 100, ‘Trap’ sits pretty with sales of 783,286 units sold since its April 24th release.

 

Going some way to explaining why her team have been a little ‘lazy’ with regards to pushing her singles, it is one of the only singles to be released by the Rapper not to have sold 1 million US units within the year of release, with ‘Starships‘ boasting sales of over 4 million units and ‘Pound The Alarm’ which hit the 1 million mark last week.

‘Va Va Voom’:

What’s more interesting however, is that the Hip Hop heavy cut has outsold Madonna‘s 2012 release, ‘Give Me All Your Luvin‘- which the Rapper also features on. Mind blowing, considering its Superbowl 2012 backed push, ‘Luvin’ is yet to hit sales of 600,000 units, marking a commercial low for both Minaj and Madonna.

‘Roman’s Revenge’:

Catch Nicki on FOX’s ‘American Idol‘ when it hits US screens January 16th.
