Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman Reloaded’ Spends 60th Consecutive Week In UK Top 40

It still stands as the highest selling Rap album to hit the country in the last two years.

Now, one year after its April 3rd launch date, Nicki Minaj’s latest LP ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ has continued its impressive yet unsung chart run in the UK!

Details below…

As of today, the US #1 album has spent a total of 60 consecutive weeks in the UK’s Urban Top 40- selling enough copies week on week for the last 60 weeks to have never left the chart.

Extending her lead as world’s most commercially potent Rapper (male or female) after Drake and Lil Wayne,  her long running success in the market has seen her outsell now makes the only artist in British chart history to spend this many consecutive weeks on the chart, after she became the 8th female artist of Black descent to score two or more US #1 albums.

As it stands, the last 60 weeks has seen ‘Reloaded‘ sell more consistently than Drake‘s ‘Take Care’, Rihanna‘s ‘Talk That Talk‘, and Beyonce’s ‘4’– all of which enjoyed lengthy runs on the same chart but failed to sell enough units week on week to threaten Minaj’s new record.

What makes this feat all the more impressive today, is that it was achieved without the benefit of a #1 single or the Grammy nominated star’s physical presence- with its promotional campaign extending only to two or three televised appearances and two tours- one of which being her sold out ‘Pink Friday: Reloaded’ arena tour.

A tour, which saw its 02 Arena date generate £1,116,140 upon selling out minutes after tickets became available for purchase.

        In that order.

      • AzealiaBankable May 26, 2013

        You know times have changed when Nicki’s new albums sell more than Mariah’s new albums. Stupid ass people buying into trash.

    • truth May 26, 2013

      This is history happening right before your eyes tbh.

      • FAF May 26, 2013

  2. Special Delivery May 26, 2013

    Sam is such a fucken barb all the way. I swear he hides behind Beyonce most of the time.

  3. truth tea (take a sip) May 26, 2013

    uk URBAN top 40?? TGJ has reached a new low.
    It’s a shame that it hasn’t even sold a million in the US yet or 2mill worldwide. For one of the most publicised popstars of the past year, this is embarassing.

  4. QueenCeline May 26, 2013

    That’s pretty good considering all the things it had working against. Besides, what does it matter if its urban not, does every album sell enough every week to never leave ANY chart?

  5. BarbzRUs May 26, 2013

    ThatBarbJuice always praising Onika!

  6. TaylorWins May 26, 2013

    Wow. Well done Nick.

  7. K*** Kruncher Brigade May 26, 2013

    Getcho money b**** YAASS!

  8. MariahIsMusic1 May 26, 2013

    And yet this b**** is being compared to À Legend. I can’t

    • RoyalNavi May 26, 2013

      You have no room to talk when Beautiful is flopping.

    • BeyLikeMe May 26, 2013

      The way Beautifull’s sales are set up though. Even Body Party is about to outsell it.

    • NickiSaidDis May 26, 2013

      Worry about your faves fried voice m’lady.

    • truth May 26, 2013

      Worry about mooriah’s messy ass promo first b****.

  9. RomansAuPair May 26, 2013

    Slay, but Nicki please go back to PF’s sound and look for this next one. I saw Grape talking about your new white look the other day and I have to agree it’s actually distressing.
    Represent the islands with that beautiful coolie skin and them snatched wigs like you wore before.

  10. HausMuthaAdele May 26, 2013

    Ha impact.

  11. Lana Del Slay May 26, 2013

    Kiiiii at TGJ only using pictures from the Friday era because they hate her new style.

    • Blackout2.0 May 26, 2013

      I noticed that too.

  12. MariahIsMusic1 May 26, 2013

    Urban Charts? We are here for the MAIN Charts Sam. BYE

    • AzaleanArmy May 26, 2013

      You are? Is that why Mariah had to sign a radio deal JUST so Beautiful would get played on radio to make it ON those main charts? Get back to me sis.

      • Common Sense May 26, 2013

        You mean like every other major artist that releases a single these days?

  13. nicko May 26, 2013

    Another record is broken 🙂 SLAYNIKA !

  14. CandyWarhol May 26, 2013

    Nicki better just give Grape an interview already. They really love her.

  15. Draggin4MrsCarter May 26, 2013

    The Lambs wonder why people mock the expired fave and her low sales but are always the first to shade.
    Who do you think would sell more if Nicki and Mariah put out albums tomorrow? Don’t you remember what happened two years ago? OK then.

    • DOSSOME May 26, 2013

      @DRAGGIN4MRSCARTER

      1.@Mariahismusic1 Is a beyhive,just like you

      2.My expired fave is celebrating her 32 top 20 hit as we speak

      3.How old were your faves THAT week VISION OF LOVE hit no.1 on the Hot 100

      4.If you’re speaking about PINK FRIDAY,You would know that album has outsold many other albums including your faves “4”

      • Draggin4MrsCarter May 26, 2013

        Sweetheart, please don’t lecture me.
        Mariah’s sales wouldn’t be what they were if she didn’t spend her money forcing radio to play her songs and so I don’t know how you can brag about her 32nd top 20 hit.

        SOME people can sell without payola and Mariah isn’t one of them.

    • Common Sense May 26, 2013

      Some people can sell without Payola LOL! Too bad Icki isn’t one of them. Her flopass is struggling to sell her sophomore album. Mariah sold when she was new because unlike Icki, she had ACTUAL vocal and songwriting talent. Something I’m sure Barbz know nothing about.

  16. Lovebird May 26, 2013

    “As it stands, the last 60 weeks has seen ‘Reloaded‘ sell more consistently than Drake‘s ‘Take Care’, Rihanna‘s ‘Talk That Talk‘,

    I like Nicki and PF:RR will most likely sell more copies than 4 but it still has a mountain to climb before it can touch Talk That Talk.

    **Plays do ya thing**

    • . : : h 2 o : : . May 26, 2013

      Yeah.. In your dreams.

  17. BigBootyBeyonce May 26, 2013

    Everyone is allowed at least one bad album and this is Nicki’s. She KNOWS she f***** up with the sound and that she needs to give us them pretty gang hood cleopatra teas.

    • Common Sense May 26, 2013

      LOL at the excuses! This is only her second f****** album, and she’s already “allowed to have a bad album?” The b**** hasn’t cemented her place anywhere, so having a bad album this early makes her a flop.

  18. BionicGlam May 26, 2013

    I’ll never forgot when Pink Friday out sold that last Mooriah album.

    • NickiSaidDis May 26, 2013

      And I’ll never forget when EVERY Christina single outsold Triumphant.

      • Common Sense May 26, 2013

        I’ll never forget when Mariah’s 90th album sold more than Xtincta’s 4th and 5th albums combined. And I can’t at you pitiful stans using singles sales like they’re somehow a big deal.

    • Common Sense May 26, 2013

      Hold on tightly to that memory sweetheart. It looks like Icki’s 15 minutes are up. Flopping on her sophomore album despite re-re-releasing it, being on the US’s biggest reality show, and releasing some s***** perfume. Looks like Americans aren’t checking for that gimmicky m*****, and the world as a whole isn’t checking for that fat midget Xtincta.

  19. Amanda Bynes May 26, 2013

    Rihanna is ugly

  20. SummertimeSadness May 26, 2013

    TGJ is the only place that gives Nicki her props 2bh.

  22. Lovebird May 26, 2013

    @TRUTH

    It’s selling a few hundred more than 4.

    • truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) May 26, 2013

  23. Lovebird May 26, 2013

    LMAO Why is the hive hiding behind Mariah??? I cannot at the hive, I just cannot. Admit it, 4 is a commercial failure and you’ll deal.

    • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

      But hasnt Pink Friday sold less?

      • PhuckYoFave May 26, 2013

        No, Pink Friday is on 3.8 so it sold more than 4. Sawree!

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

        I was talking about the one relevant to this post.

      • Lovebird May 26, 2013

        Pink Friday sold more than 4 and has got smash hit singles, try again.

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

      • Lovebird May 26, 2013

        “But hasnt Pink Friday sold less? “

        Honey, you said Pink Friday, not Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, you said “PINK FRIDAY”.

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

        And did you not read my response after? #SelectiveReading

  24. TeenageDreamer May 26, 2013

    Nicki could sell like she did before if she promoted better, because I just found out that most of PFRR’s singles have sold a million or more. I can’t see Beautiful doing that.

    • Lovebird May 26, 2013

      Or any single from 4. It’s true, most of her singles have sold over a million from PF:RR, numbers singles from 4 won’t see.

      • BitchyBey May 26, 2013

        F*** off please. Love On Top, BITNH and 1+1 have all sold a million so sit on a fat one!

      • Lovebird May 26, 2013

        And it took them 5 centuries to sell a million LMAO.

      • truth(icki’s B**** ASS STANS can EAT ME honey!! Yall b**** is a STANK P**** FLOP chile! (puckers lips like Drake)) May 26, 2013

        Plus Countdown and RTWG and Party went gold so 4 was far from a flop girl. On top of that nicki wont go wet paper towel on her next cd hon. Ijs b****

    • Common Sense May 26, 2013

      Promoted better LOL? She was on American Idol for the last 6 months! How much more promo does the b**** need? Accept it, SHE IS A FLOP.

      • IM A FREE B*TCH May 27, 2013

        what kind of promo did she do for PFRR on Idol tho? she dint perform or anything.

  25. KellyKDL May 26, 2013

    Press 1 if you want Nicki to LITERALLY go back to Pink Friday era teas. The wigs, make up, sound and everything!

      LOL people usually want artists to evolve and have their music grow. When you’re a gimmick like Icki Garbaj people just want you to go back to being a clown and release more basterdized hip-hop/pop songs.

  26. DOSSOME May 26, 2013

    I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PEOPLE HATED MARIAH ON THIS SITE UNTIL I REALISED,when VISION OF LOVE was no.1 on the Hot 100:-

    .rihanna was only 2yrs old then,xtina was 9,nicki was 7,beyonce was 8,britney was 8,gaga was 4,chris brown was 1,taylor swift was 7 months old,ariana grande wasn’t born,selena gomez wasn’t born,bieber wasn’t born,adele was 3…FASTFORWARD years later,these people are all grown up,having successful careers,some are experiencing challenges but Mariah still gets a Top 20 hit…

    • GagitaMaraj May 26, 2013

      Awwwwwwwwww, times are tough when we’re pulling stats from the 90s! Did anyone else see the last episode of Dawson’s Creek!

    • Lovebird May 26, 2013

      No, the only reason is Beyonce fans masquerading as Mariah fans and shading everybody.

      Mariah fans don’t need to be shady, her stats speak for themselves.

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

        Lovebird dont act like Rihanna fans dont do the same. See: Mimi Carey and Thor #1 lamb

      • Lovebird May 26, 2013

        Special Delivery,

        Rihanna fans do not, they don’t have to. Beyonce fans are the insecure ones and go around doing shady s***, which includes pretending to be fans of different artists to shade other people’s favs.

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

        The proof is in the pudding sweety. Theyve been exposed numerous times in here. And it wasnt just them two. Navis have even been exposed pretending to be Beyonce fans on here so try again, looks like you are wrong.

      • Lovebird May 26, 2013

        They haven’t been exposed as much as Beyonce fans have been exposed. And it isn’t at the scale of the Hive. The Hive are the major culprits.

      • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

        Ive been visiting this blog for years and ive seen more navis get exposed. Theres no point arguing when your alliances do the same thing.

  32. Lovebird May 26, 2013

    I’ve also noticed that only Beyonce fans like H20 hate on Nicki Minaj, does it p*** you queens off so much to see another Black chick winning?? Are you that insecure that you cannot let another Black Chick win?? Pitiful.

    • Special Delivery May 26, 2013

  35. MariahIsMusic1 May 26, 2013

    I like Beyonce that doesn’t make me a beyhive. So I’m confused. You’re fucken calling a bey stan. B**** please! I don’t really care about that b****, I like her but Mariah is more like my second mother. Mariah >>> Beyonce iF that’s what you want @Dossome. I’m not here to be fucken bestÌes with you. I’ll drag any musician because I stan for a 5 octave vocalist with 250 million Records sold WW and countless Awards. Made a huge impact. So I could careless on how you label me @Dosomme BIItch .

      • Common Sense May 26, 2013

        You should be more worried about Xtincta album sales, or lack thereof, than Mariah’s singles LOL! Unlike Xtincta, Mariah has a flawless album catalog that will make her money until the end of her days.
