Streams may have helped it soar to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it’s become pretty clear that Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Anaconda’ stands tall thanks to sales generated by her fans and the general public alike.

For this week, in what marks one of the rapper’s best charting periods since her debut, the single has moved almost 200,000 units!

Details below…

Since the end of the last chart week, ‘Anaconda‘ has sold a sizzling 181,000 units in less than seven days, pushing its US sales to the 494,000 milestone!

Impressive, as its speedy ascent to Platinum now sees it on course to outperform its older and wiser sister ‘Pills N Potions’ which recently crossed the half a million mark.

With these sales, Nicki leaps to #4 on Billboard’s ‘Hot Digital Songs’ tally this week, doing so as she sells a further 895,000 copies of ‘Bang Bang’, the jam she appears on alongside Ariana Grande and ‘Sweet Talker’ chanteuse Jessie J.

Now tasked with ensuring the singles supporting LP fares just as well, Nicki’s success with the saucy single comes as it became the Greatest Gainer on Billboard’s Rap Airplay chart, and as her ‘WooHoo’ collaborator Christina Aguilera saw her number ‘Say Something’ reach epic sales of 3,859,000 units!

Can you say killing it?!

  3. Yonce September 3, 2014

    Slay Queen!!! i love the fact that Anaconda is slaying this way so iggy & her fans can know that Nicki is far from over.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) September 3, 2014

      Sluut

    • Cupid September 3, 2014

      The song is still HIGHLY disappointing. Nicki stooped beneath herself for a hit. But this is typical Nicki minaj marketing IMO. Look at her previous 1st/buzz single choices. She’s willing to degrade herself and look stupid to keep people talking and the money coming in.

  4. CATFISH CAREY September 3, 2014

    CANT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM TO DROP I HAVE A FEELING THAT SHE IS GONNA HAVE AN ARTPOP ERA

    • Dem Lessors September 3, 2014

      How Capslock Carey?! Even though Anaconda wasn’t well received she didn’t chicken out and still released the video. Plus people are still interested, VEVO is proof. G.U.Y. got 50 million, Nicki got 115 million.

      • CATFISH CAREY September 3, 2014

        YOU DO GET WHAT I MEANT RIGHT?
        I MEAN HER LAST TWO SINGLES CHARTED DISMALLY THIS ONE GOT SAVED BY THE VIDEO
        IF IT WASN’T FOR HER MINI P*** VIDEO ANACONDA WOULD HAVE BEEN CHILLING IN THE OTHER HALF OF THE HOT 100

  5. Sisqo is King September 3, 2014

    Lmao so much for flop!! I could see coming for the #1 spot.

  6. #Dismissed September 3, 2014

    Well congrats when this song was comin out I thought it was gonna flop but it’s doing good. It’s.gonna certify gold next week. And it has only been out for 4 weeks. Congrats Nicki.

  7. Yonce September 3, 2014

    It will be very funny to see iggy’s face when this song hit number 1 on Hot 100. If this hit number one i will be so happy.

    • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

      Me tooooooo! It will hit #1 I can see it happening. Its a smash hit and the views are almost at 120 million. So its not slowing that slaughter anytime soon. I love Taylor but she will have to make room for the Queen of Rap soon, cuz she is coming for that top spot.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) September 3, 2014

      It won’t hit number one daaaawln.

  8. Del Bey September 3, 2014

    It would be nice to see a nicki single reach gold that’s not pure trash, I do and will always love nicki (iggy who) but her single choices always disappoint, Looking Ass N***** was fiyah! but if the pink print sounds anything like anaconda and pills n potions, I’m going to be very unimpressed

  9. Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

  13. Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

    “Bang Bang” by @JessieJ, @ArianaGrande, & @NickiMinaj sold 233,000 units this past week, up 47 percent. Its US total is now 895,000.

    Most likely this will be on the TPP so it will be her first platinum single there, and Anaconda video is number 1 on iTunes.

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) September 3, 2014

    • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

      It will never go top 10 they said. Its a flop they said. Anaconda is a trash song they said. Now Ana sitting pretty at #1, soon to go #1.

      • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

        #1 on iTunes videos and soon to go #1 on Hot 100

      • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) September 3, 2014

  21. skyfall September 3, 2014

    tbh, i wouldn’t consider anaconda a trash song. I would consider “Shake It Off” by Taylor trashy. Anaconda is different and fun. Its a club banger

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) September 3, 2014

      Fat ho

  24. BubblePopElectric September 3, 2014

    Congrats Queen Onika! Slaying effortlessly this era! Hopefully she will snatch that no. 1 spot from Taylor Swift next week.

  25. RDK September 3, 2014

    Gratz nicki minaj.

  26. CATFISH CAREY September 3, 2014

    ANACONDA IS NOW SITTING AT #3 HMMMMMM

    • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

      Yew mad it didnt fall out of the top 10? It still has lots of time to get to the top spot especially after her Ellen interview and other promo acts. Plus she now has 2 songs in the top 5 with Bang Bang slaying

  27. Mark111 September 3, 2014

    Now why can’t the roaches buy their Roach Queen singles so it can top the chart?

  28. Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

    Anaconda Hot 100 #3 / Streamed Songs #1 / & Bang Bang Hot 100 #4 (THIS WEEK) Ha pretty impressive week if u ask me.

  29. Lady Flopga September 3, 2014

    Its #3 LOL

  30. Lady Flopga September 3, 2014

    It will fad away just like flopga

  31. Stephy. September 3, 2014

    Congrats to Nicki. She really need to step it up tho. That white gurl is fierce competition. “Anaconda” is still complete trash tho… Its only selling & charting due to that “music video”

    • Lady Flopga September 3, 2014

      The real complete trash is that p** on your avi

  32. Lady Flopga September 3, 2014

    It is supposed to be #1 by now. It will peak #2 like Drunk In Love

    • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

      Not necessarily. As long as its in the top 5 it has the potential to go to

      • Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

        to go to #1. Its sales is increasing and the streams are not letting up with almost 120 million views to date. The coming weeks will tell their own story. patience.

  33. The real xoxo September 3, 2014

    Great video, awful song.
    Hope the next pinkprint single is better.

  34. TAYLOR SWIFT IS BILLBOARD NUMBER 1 September 3, 2014

    Taylor swift is still number 1 Yay!!!!

  35. The Truth Emeritus September 3, 2014

    Lol @itunes. That’s an average accomplishment for a pop artist of her alleged caliber. But why are y’all toting iTunes as if it’s a real chart?

  36. Bey-Minaj September 3, 2014

    (-1) #3 Anaconda
    (+5) #4 Bang Bang
    (NEW) #82 Flawless (Nicki Minaj or Chimamanda)
    (NEW) #89 She Came To Give It To You

  37. MISHKA September 3, 2014

    If she’s not getting the #1 spot on Billboard quickly, then all those stunts are just useless.

    She should have went all the way Miley at the VMAs and let them tiddays out after her “alleged” wardrobe malfunction. She would been the talk of the next two weeks and the #1 spot would have been a given.

  38. No Name September 3, 2014

    Next week, Anaconda will sell 110,000 – 120,000 @ #5, being surpassed by Black Widow.

    • No Name September 4, 2014

      By the way,I’m referring to Digital Songs, not the Hot 100.

  39. i die 4 nicki September 8, 2014

    my life! My all! My everything! Keep slaaying. We the barbs are with U. #barbsnation
