She’s the outspoken Rap sensation behind one of the year’s biggest singles.
We’re talking about Iggy Azalea of course, touching down on US soil with her debut album ‘The New Classic’ with the help of the aforementioned smash ‘Fancy‘ back in April, and its follow-up ‘Reclassified’ this November.
However, it would seem not even a #1 single and smash hits with Rita Ora, Jennifer Lopez and Ariana Grande were enough to convince the general public to her support her latest body of work this week, as it’s set to tank something vicious!
How vicious? 11,000 units, set to be sold by the release by the time next week’s ‘Billboard 200‘ chart is published, despite the benefit of the several Black Friday promotions its November release date armed it with.
‘Hits Daily Double’ reports:
SHADYXV (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 140-150k sales; 155-165k sales + streams
Beyoncé – Platinum Edition (More) EP (Columbia) 60-65k sales, 80-90k sales + streams*
Rick Ross (Def Jam) 60-65k sales, 65-70k sales + streams

THET TITTLE IS FUNNY! Poor IGGY Tho !! BYE FELECIA
Lord have mercy :(((((((((((
All these Rihanna fans should Hush cause if she re release anything she would end up selling 5k lmao
If that HUNTY!
Get mad
Really? Then explain why her re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad sold 1.8 MILLION.
Well…. *blank stare*
Nicki will do less hun
Pls even you don’t believe that, Piggys a one hit wonder for real… LOL
Poor baby, you just gravitate towards flops.
You joking? The Re-Up sold 36K outselling even Katy’s Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection. You can suck my ass betch
What a shame..Single’s Artist at best. Now that her Singles are flopping too what is she going Cling to?
It’s just a re-release… Lol the new songs are really dope. I like how she always try something new.
You see what happens when you cheat. You lose! She did all that payola and it got her hit singles but she’s not as popular as her singles which is why her albums keep flopping.
The shame!
How can someone afford Payola, when they can’t even sell albums????
Please don’t be naive. Clear Channel THEMSELVES admitted that they had her on their On the Verge program where they’re OBLIGED to play her songs 150 times a week.
They bought the play at the start of the era because they needed Fancy to slay for it not be a total floppage. If you don’t believe me google Iggy on the verge and see for yourself.
It’s a re-release…i don’t see the big deal tbh. If this were an ALBUM, I could see the problem. And omg I’m so shocked @ Selena’s sales…the industry is clearly coming to an end. For albums that’s is.
LIES Nikki rerelease sold over 100k first week try again. She just a damn flop
lmao. Nicki’s re-up did 30k, not 100k+
I dont have a particular interest for iggy, but it’s a re-up release, it doesn’t get stocked in all supermarkets, just like nicki’s.
Selena is just a best of. So it’s Not that horrible
its a rerelease which was f****** stupid anyway if ur s*** not even gold why would u rerelease? thats a waste of label money
i better not see an iggy stan in a nicki post from now on
and on another topic who heard that trash ass rihanna single? 😆 Kii
she still doing trap music in 2015 🙁 poor trendHanna
Who are we kidding tho. Re-releases don’t sell much anyway. But damn 😐 11k
Your kidding. Beyonce even did 60k with rerelease that’s more then iggy album first week sale when it first came out.
you are comparing Iggy who is relatively new on the Billboard top 10 to Beyonce who has had a career for almost two decades.
Felicia, go snort up Ciara’s cocaine some more
16 years is not 2 decades. Beyonce stans are just as dumb as she is.
no freakn way you have probably 1 of the biggest hits out this year with a follow up single that did well to and so much hype and your fans are saying you destroyed Nicki minaj yet you pull 11k? goodbye
He said almost 2 decades, which 16 years is… Imbecile.
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA KIIIIIII AHAHHAAHHSAHAHAHHAHAAHH I CAN’T I FUCCCKING CAN’T. THIS ONE HIT WONDER BIIIITCH IS DONE HAHAHAAAHHAAH OFF TO AUSTRALIA YOU GO BIIIITCH!!!!! IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED!!!! I’M NICKI IS LAUGHING HER FAKE ASS WHENEVER SHE IS
She still holds da title beat by any female 7 wks fancy.she beat em and drake twice out performed nicki and nicki album will flop she wasn’t even nominated iggy took her spot
Dumb ass you clearly no nothing. She wasn’t nomanated because that show is for people with albums out. ON TOP of that iggy one bc voting was on Twitter em nor drake run there twitter so sit down muppet
Iggy bought the awards by bribing fans to win an iPad LMFAOOOO how sad? Nicki wasn’t nominated because as we’re all aware… 12.15
Outperformed Nic ? R u sure we live in the same world ? Umm first of all, Nics won 4 AMAs AND Nickis sold more singles n albuls than iggy so how did she “outperform” her ? :-/ did u forget Nic is the most charted/highest charting female rapper of all time ? All iggy has is fancy, black widow, problem (all features that had radio deals). Nic had more gold/plat/multi plat records than any female rapper in history 😀 n Anaconda is the highest charting SOLO hit by a rapper this yr.
My thoughts? Well it seems in order to get a article written in depth one must flop or be Beyonce. When a person is successful it seems to be less to write about. Things that make you go “really?”
Anyway her music is not that great so I’m not surprised.
Her whiteness will her Grammy, even though she aint a critical success or doing good in the numbers’ game.
#TakeThatToTheBank #JesusTakeTheWheel
I dont think she’ll win a grammy. Em will win grammys this yr, as usual. But not iggy, shes white but shes still a rapper n there were much better songs than fancy, problem or bw that were released this yr.
Notice how the only time she can slay is with singles and radio play. Lesson to be learned here boys and girls, if you cheat the system you cheat yourself.
Who dat who dat? I-G-G-BYE!!!!
Sales today are terrible… smh!
But I will say as I did in the Tinashe first week sales post thst sales don’t determine the longevity of the artist nor does it damage a new artists reputation to gain. 😀
It must suck to know that you’re faves music is bigger than she is.
@KelisIsHere2003 no hun #TeamTinashe is never mad! I personally am elated that I have people like you that are so invested to talk about QueenTee! Keep it going I love it 😉
The only difference is that lil Ti Ti has some talent. That Aussie girl, not so much.
And then where you gone hide????
Sales horrible ?? Taylor sold over 1 mill bey sold over 800k that how mainstream just like them. Excuses will get you no where in life.
Ok so you’re talking about well established artists but fail to disclose your own fave(Nicki) not selling gold nor platinum first week? Are you delusional? Lol. And again wasn’t I talking about “new artists?”
HASHTAG: #LEAVE lmaoo 🙂
You better pray to GAWD Nicki does 100K+ her first week. I am going to drag you by your eyelashes across the fckn galaxy if she doesn’t.
Y’all leave Nic outta this, she has nothing to do with flops. #15.12
You must have fallen and bumped your fckn head! Pizz n Lotion was a flop across the galaxy.
“It’s only a rerelease.” Nobody records new music and promotes it and expects it to flop. She WANTED it to slay which is why she put it out this week (Black Friday) and has been performing Beg For It everywhere.
She really thought payola could buy her some fans but all it bought her was radio play. To think she sold the same amount as Azealia.
#CheatersNeverProsper
PIGGY IS CARLY RAE JEPSON 2.O ,CUTE NO1 SINGLE THIS YEAR AND FORGOTTEN NEXT YEAR. DEFINITION OF A SINGLES ARTISTS, THIS FRAUD IS DONE. NOW THAT HER SINGLES ARE FLOPPING, WHAT WILL SHE CLING TO???
AND KIII AT A BEYONCE RE-REALEASE SELLING MORE COPIES THAN CIARA HAHAAHAHAHAHA
All the radio play in the world but not a fan base to be found.
Oop!
It’s a re-release with 8 new songs…. I’m just saying, I could be wrong. **coughs**
So she spent all that money on studio time, performances, hair, makeup, coverart just for it to flop? I think not. She wanted it to do well but it didn’t because the gp don’t care about her, they care about her singles more.
Hello?!!! Lol right new songs all sound the same and bad reviews lmao.. Queen of FLOP
Her musics trash anyway
BYE WITH THE IT’S A RE-REALEASE EXCUSE. THIS B****** WAS EVERYWHERE, AMAS PERFORMANCES, LATE NIGHT SHOW APPEARANCES, TWITTER SPATS. ALL OF WHICH GARNERED HER PLENTY OF MEDIA ATTENTION.
Hahahaha, mind you it’s Black Friday week, the week people claim that Rihanna clings on for sales. How come non of these flops up there killing it? Maybe Nicki pushing back was a great move, because even that album will only do 120K the most and would’ve been #2, lol.
Uggly been EVERYWHERE, tho Beg For A Hit is on the radio, it’s too late. She tried so hard to beef with Nicki and now Em. I didn’t even know that Em was dropping an album, so now even that so called beef looks fake for sales and FAILED. I am impressed that Beyonce is about to do another 100K tho.
It’s a re-release tho!!!!!!!! but i agree IGGY’S sales are terrible. plus she had 8 new songs…..BUT DAMN AT BEY ABOUT TO DO ANOTHER 100K FIRST WEEK, WITH JUST TWO NEW SONGS..#SLAYBITCH
Beyonce is doing 60-65K SALES, the rest is streaming. That’s neither impressive or “slaying”, it’s FLOP sales compared to all the overexposure and ass kissing she gets.
8 new songs and only 11,000. LMAO
If ony Def Jam spent as many promo dollars and booked Jhen Aiko on as many shows as Iggy. They would have at least a gold CD.
IGGY hasn’t even gone gold yet.
She may by the end of 2014 after her label spent all that money for promo and radio spins. CHILE.
Nobody is buying this phony MC or her ATL accent except TI. Bye Iggy…….
your 15 minutes is up
“She doesn’t care, it’s only a a re-release.” So she paid her writers, producers, engineers in bananas?
Poor dat:( no solo hit, 2 flop albums + she begged her fans to vote for her so she could win 2 AMAs :-/ shes thirsty af so I know shes disappointed rn.
And btw its not a re release, its a brand new EP. I remember when ppl dragged Nic when TRU, an actual re release sold 36k first week with less promo.
She is a flop, she only got 2 top 10 singles because she pays to radio stations for her songs get played, her debut album NOT EVEN is GOLD in 7 months, what a bad idea re-release a flop album!
Wait but her fans keep saying she the new queen and that she is the best and all that BULL!! where are her fans now???? And please don’t give me that “it’s a re-release” b******* because it had 5 brand new songs in it !!.. Numbers don’t lie!!!! Iggy is trash!!
Def Jam has so much egg on its face right now. They spent all that money on Iggy even though they had no guarantee she could make it back but still treat Jhene (who can actually sell) like she’s an indie artist.
TNC’s and Reclassified first week sales don’t even match K.Michelle’s first week numbers for RS or Jhene’s for Souled Out. Totes hilaire.
11k < sales + streams :O. Poor girl.
BTW, she only sold 35K in Australia, even her home land aren’t falling for it. lol
right lmaoooo this b****** is a joke even her own country isn’t fuckkkking with her flop ass
Watch TPP sell more in Australia
Probably because they’re trying to figure out where she got that fake ass rap accent. She sound like she grew up in the south
So all that promo was in vain. We dragged MO for nothing.
hahahahahah fuccck that ugly untalented flop biiiitch iggy is one hit wonder FLOP
The R&B girls sell more than her but don’t get a fraction of the budget she does. Time for these labels to rethink their strategies methinks.
PREACH. What is so sad is that it is black male music execs making the decision to invest in her instead of RNB female artists or REAL MCs.
BUT WAIT, I thought Nicki pushed back her album back for this according to the Iggy stans. What kind of EMBARRASSMENT! OMG!
Lol. I mean Iggy fans really believed that?? I feel so sorry for them. Sorry not sorry. And this is the person who won at the AMAs. Drake and Eminem would neva.
Look at Slayoncé creeping through
With 65K sales? LMAO
Lemme take a moment to recreate Nicki’s most infamous tweet when Kim went ham on the paypal charts. Iggly, this one’s for you.
Bwaahhhhahhahahahahahahahahhahahhhaaahhhhhaaahahahahahahahhhaha!!!!!!!!!! *lifeless* *leaves on stretcher* *cant go on*
Is it still #IggySzn.
Ded. Just like her sales. Bwahahahahahahahaha….
This Made Me Really Lmao!
Woww, I really thought Bey was not gonna do more than 50k considering (1) how sales are down (2) it’s only 2 new songs and most of those remixes already leaked online months ago. Kudos to her! Pretty impressive.
—
Btw, Taylor is going back to #1 for another week next week!!!
So even with streams added to her total she would still sell less than the Re-Up. #OUCH
Damn Bey, selling more with a re-release than some with a whole new album….
I see you
These WACK h*** could get hot for ONE summer. After that the QUEEN will STILL REIGN HERE – Nicki Minaj
HAHAHAHAHA GIRL BYE!!! *sips tea*
where are them ugggly stans who were coming for onika when she decided to push back her album until December?
Hmmmmm she needs to bring it whit the next album or just Hang It !!!
Beyonce will debut in the top 3 I see
Talking about that s*** but never been able to back it up. WHERE ARE YOUR FANS SIS?
Go Bey!!!
The scary thing is that she’s tried everything to make herself pop off. Her singles are dope, her payola game is on point, her videos are amazeballs and she’s a nice girl but people can tell she’s not authentic.
Poor DefJam, you should have used common sense and invested that money in Jhene.
Lmfao Nikki would never!!!!!!!!!!! That h** done cooked and shitted on.
I’m not surprised. It’s a rerelease and currently she doesn’t have a hit.. other new, fresh releases like Jessie J didn’t sell much better so it reflects the state of music and it’s sales TODAY in 2014
shut the fuccck up with the excuses she had a hit the first go around and she still FLOPPED and her original album is still not GOLD
Beyonce rerelease doing 60k so why not surprised. How she a flop payola helped now she done
@BeyRiLiyah: I usually don’t address ignorant children who are the product of horrible parenting and welfare but check your lipstick before you come speak to me baby girl otherwise be seen not heard like the rest of these kids..
http://youtu.be/Z1CEXb9IZds
here come the iggy stans and their excuses in 5 4 3 2 1……
on itunes reclassified be like…. https://media.giphy.com/media/5xtDarLeZw5Pzg0IU9i/giphy.gif
If only radio deals could buy fans.
Iggy Azalea/the New Classic=52,000
***
Iggy Azalea/Reclassification rerelease=25-30,000
***
Beyonce/Beyonce(self titled)= almost 1mllion
***
Beyonce rerelease= 60-80k
***
Beyonce’s drop is much bigger percentage wise, especially with the DVD’s, the 17 videos released to stream along with her new songs. Yall actin like she’s like all the way at the bottom of the charts
you must have didn’t read iggy is doing 11,000 🙂 not 25-30,000 you should re read the article
DAT’S NOT EVEN BEYONCE’S TOTAL SALES THO, THAT IS FOR THE “MORE” EDITION, THEY WILL STILL ADD SALES OF HER FULL STANDARD EDITION AND THE ORIGINAL EDITION….SHE IS GOING TO SELL OVER 100K…GET UR FACTS RIGHT, ICKI FLOPZEALA IS A FLOP AND U WILL DEAL…
Learn how to read, dear. beyonce is only going to sell 60-65K, the rest is STREAMING. you beyonce stans really do see only what you want to see and not what is.
Ummm honey, those sales for Bey are for the EP digital sales only. Plus we only got 2 new songs. Iggly had like 6. I can’t believe this chick beat Em and Drake, what a joke.
Damn. Not even her pet kangaroo could make her sales jump.
Wait………….. isn’t she the new “Queen of Rap” !?
How can this be?
Azealia pulled these numbers with no promo and no record label! An album better than anything Iggy will EVER be able to produce, btw
Tragic.
See what happens when you spend money on radio but not on artist development. #EasyComeEasyGo
Right maybe brandy’s team should spend money on radio considering her last hit was full moon
Erm..yeah they should.
It’s a re release in 2014. Didn’t Icki’s re release sell like 30k two years ago? I don’t even have Iggys album but I like her better than Icki. :lol;
It’s not a re-release as The New Crisis isn’t featured on Regurgitated, it’s more of an EP/Album in actuality. Look @ Bey’s sales, a re-release will sell if the person has talent or produces a good product. Piggy has neither. Bringing up The Re-Up only makes Piggy look worse, TRU was less readily available to purchase, much less promo but easily done more. It’s Black Friday season and people STILL aren’t dropping a couple dollars? That’s how you know you’re a certified singles artist! Two uncertified albums, what a shame. Your post said it all, you don’t even buy Piggy’s music, you just unreasonably hate Nic
I don’t hate anyone. It takes too much energy to hate. I just think Icki is weak, fake, phony and played. You’d be a fool to think she’s gonna sell big on 12/15 with the trash she’s been releasing.
Wow, you’re really gonna talk about Nicki being fake in a convo about Iggy? Piggy is THE most fake & phony person in the industry nothing about Piggys rap persona is authentic which is why Hip-Hop doesn’t and will never respect her. You always get to Nicki articles before actual fans calling her Icki and generally being pressed and bitter so if that’s not a hater, I don’t know what is. Nicki’s ‘trash’ sold more than Piggys album so there you have it. We all know Nicki will do well, she’s NICKI FCKING MINAJ! 12.15.14 xo
I’ll leave this here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMLr4htKF_A
Oh that heavy 11k crown! LMAOOOO. Plays 7/11 while I await TPP slayage.
You can buy Payola, you can buy awards but you can’t buy a fanbase cuz these sales are pitiful. How are you gonna make an EP/album, cuz it’s NOT a re-release, well not intended to be but you recycle your flop singles & singles that are tired now? You are putting out the same SH!T again that NO ONE liked the first time. People are buying the new songs and leaving the rest that they already own. The promo it’s had + sales = no fanbase. The New Crisis & Regurgitated will NEVER see the light of day to RIAA!
didnt azaelia sell more first week ?
Exactly, Payola is no substitute to actual talent which is why she & Nicki will always do better in the long run.
Oh that’s right. A. Banks sold more as an independent artist.
SHEW WHAT A SHEER UTTER MESS
BUT I CANT WAIT FOR THE PINK PRINT TO DROP AND THE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS ANNONCEMENTS THE MELTDOWNS WILL BE PRICELSS
I’m lost for words…..but luckily Nicki isn’t.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9rITLjKz8
She should have used that payola money to buy some fans.
TAYLOR SWIFT- 212,839 -31%
Taylor sells another 212,839 in her 4th week
I BET SHE IS HEADING BACK TO NUMBER ONE NEXT WEEK AND WILL HAVE THE XMAS NUMBER ONE ALBUM
Yes one direction has knocked taylor off number one for now, with sales of 400,000. Hope Taylor can reclaim the top spot next week:)
BWET sold 11,165 in 4 days… *sips tea* *plays JFK*
Exactly! With no promo or even a record label! LOL!
Iggy has no fans. She has casual listeners.
Glad you’re loving Broke With Expensive Taste too–brilliant album! 😀
Best album released in 2014 by far!!! Then the Beyonce “More” EP!!!
HAS BED OF FLOPS MANAGED TO CRACK THE ITUNES TOP TEN YET?
It’s probably sold more than this tripe with no video & just two performances
Does Clear Channel offer refunds, cos the way these sales are set up…
Au revoir Felicia.
This just proves that people actually f*** with Nicki’s music.
I still can´t get over the fact that they added streams to the Bilboard 200 🙁
Apart from that: the industry is dissapearing, this is ending, 90% of albums sell under 30k copies first week. Now even Maria Carey´s last album looks like a success with its 60k copies sold first week, despite being her lowest selling album ever (normal when you´re in your 14th album and the promo was a mess but still).
Its just a re release! Everyone knows re releases don’t sell.
And everyone knows CiError doesn’t sell…
YOUR “CIARA DOESNR SELL” AND “SHE IS A FLOP” COMMENTS ARE REALLY BECOMING BORING TO READ I WISH THERE WAS A WAY TO MUTE YOUR HAGGIS EASTING ASS
http://media0.giphy.com/media/CVKJlJ2cYsREs/200_s.gif
You could always leave… http://funala.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/tried.png
So she performed at SNL and the AMAs for nothing? Come on sis. ANYTHING can sell well if people like it enough.
Well I’m sure you didn’t share the same thought process about The Re-Up, you just can’t excuse these sales
molly stop with the excuses your girl is a one hit wonder flop her original album isn’t even gold yet and her rerelease is a big flop and rereleases do sell look a bey’s rerelease her’s is selling
Can you really call that a re-release with all those new songs? She tried to be slick with it but the GP ain’t having it.
I thought she said she was the new Queen.
Actually this isn’t a re release because the sales don’t go towards The New Classic. This is Iggy’s second album but they’re not calling it that even though it is.
*clap clap* Thank you, I’m glad someone else understands, it’s NOT a re-release
Talent & a fan base >>>>> marketing & payola.
Can someone explain how she got the budget she did in the first place? All that money has gone right down the drain.
Oi!! Janine! What are you playing at??!!
*In my Pat Butcher voice*
Lol. I love eastenders!! Even though we are like 8yrs behind, on PBS, in America..
#Walford
hahaha #stopbeyonce2014 all those basics h*** were out there sunday night losing their breath trying to perform while pettyonce was sitting home watching RHOA yet she outsell them effortlessly with BEYONCE the Petty edition that can also be found in full on vevo and spotify screaming
C’mon now Beyonce just has 2 new song and few weeks ago when she announced the platinium edition Beyhive member were saying they won’t buy that s*** that b**** is not even promoting and is being Petty as f*** how come she gonna sell 50k + unit
Why are you calling it a re release when it has a different name, EIGHT new songs and sales that don’t even go towards the album you say it’s helping. It’s an entirely new album which nobody cares about.
Rerelease don’t sell. Tell that to Confessions Sp, The Emancipation of Mimi Ultimate Edition, Good Girl Gone Bad Reloaded, Fame Monster, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, and all of Beyonce’s rereleases. The whole point of a rerelease is to reissue an album that was 1) Sold out of print. 2) To extend an already successful album/era with 2 more singles. There was no point of this when the first issue isn’t even selling.
the career of the female version of vanilla ice is Officially OVER just like future and Ciara’s relationship
Azealia did these numbers in 4 days with no label or promo, and most importantly a far superior album.
Well congrats to Bey on her re-release sales and on Iggy’s re-release, well I’m gonna put like this, Azealia Banks sold almost the same amount as Iggy with no promo on an independent label and Iggy was like every where doing the most. Like a commenter just posted that some r&b albums have been selling pretty good on its first week and the artists are getting less promos. Yep I agree, it’s time to re-strategize this situation.
Eminem just slays every time his album is good though.
Reading that was so sad. All of that money wasted. As least she looks cute on the cover.
Stupid a$$ mark, Australians don’t buy rap. The us is the only real market for rap. So this is especially embarrassing for her.
everyone who has commented on this is so STUPID. I just read through the comments & it’s so sad. If you knew ANYTHING about music, you will know Re-Releases hardly ever do well. 2nd.. She only had 4 new songs(not 8) & she has been promoting the SINGLE “Beg for it” NOT the album. You guys want this girl to fail so bad & she’s actually winning. & as far as the payola comments, like do you guys even know how payola works. Yall sound so ignorant…
I’m an Iggy Azaela fan so I get it & I’m not mad!!
hahahahahaa flop harder than Lady caca artflop I cant!!!! this is the definition of REAL FLOP haahahahahhaahhahahhaa
Damn!!! No one is buying Iggy’s rap career for the long term But I’m sure she’s still getting money, for now. She better enjoy it while it last. hope she paid off the doctor for that new body with the money from those singles. Whitney’s Live CD/DVD that had performances everyone had seen/heard sold more and she isn’t even here to promote it. RIP Nippy.
She better get pregnant by that basketball player cuz her career will not last 2 albums.
BTW, when is her friend Rita gonna release an album in the US? 2019
I knew she’d be irrelevant soon…
TGJ’s agenda against Iggy is pathetic. Even more so seeing all these fake accounts coming out of the woodworks with copy-and-paste comments and cheesy screen names. Honestly, can you be more obvious?
1. Reclassified is a considered a rerelease and will count towards The New Classic’s sales, regardless of what illogical logic you try to use to claim otherwise.
2. Rereleases never do well in sales. The Reup sold 37k, The Complete Confection sold 33k and those were rereleases from well established acts on their second albums. Iggy is still new, her rerelease was pointless.
3. Reclassified has only 5 new songs, Heavy Crown, Beg For It, Trouble, We In this B*tch, and Iggy SZN. The same commenters(really commenter using multiple accounts) who claim to have the tea on payola with no receipts can’t even tell the right contents in the album. How reliable they are!
4. Like all rereleases, they are sold in limited physical quantities. Releasing on Black Friday week means nothing when iTunes doesn’t have Black Friday deals. Even so, Black Friday hasn’t happened yet, there is really no way to predict how many people would buy it even if alot of physical copies were made.
5. No sh!t she promoted the rerelease, who wouldn’t? There would be no point in a rerelease if she didn’t promote. The AMAs, SNL and one late night show doesn’t constitute alot of promo as some of you claim. Beg For It is currently in the top 20, idk how its flopping
6. The New Classic has past 400k and it hasn’t been out for a year yet. That is good for a hip-hop album as most don’t pass 350k these days. It will definitely be gold within a year of its release date. And please save the hit single excuse, #1s=/= album sales and they haven’t for years now.
7. Bringing up Azealia is a self drag if a rerelease sells the same as her original album.
All these excuses. STFU!
H** ITS NOT A RE-RELEASE!!!!! ITS HER SECOND ALBUM… IT HAS 8 NEW SONGS… AND IT DOES NOT GO TWARDS THE SALES OF HER OTHER ALBUM…SO NOTHING YOU SAID MATTERS
Lol!! Sweetheart, it doesn’t matter how many times you pound away at your keyboard in all caps under different screen names, it doesn’t change the fact that everyone with merit considers Reclassified as a rerelease/reissue. Literally no one but deluded and pressed Barbz like you consider it her second album. And please do explain how you came up with 8 new songs when there is clearly on 5! Lmao, I know your IQ has to be exceptionally low to enjoy Nicki’s music but are you that stupid to the point where you can’t conduct a proper Wiki search comparing the deluxe version of The New Classic to Reclassified? Barbz continue to amaze me with their stupidity with every visit to TGJ.
PLS WHAT KIND OF DELUSION!!!!!
1. A re-release has ALL the tracks from the Original album plus more, so no it’s not a re-release, it’s an EP
2. The Re-Up sold 37K, which is more than reclassified so your point on that was unnecessary
3. TNC was trash and there was NOTHING Hip-Hop on it, but F*** Love & Black Widow were good
4. Most people downloaded Reclassified illegally because they try and like Iggy but it’s probably gathering dust in their iTunes
5. The only decent new song on there is Iggy SZN (even tho Iggy SZN has well and truly ended)
6. No ones gonna waste their time and effort buying Reclassified on Black Friday when there’s more important things to buy
7. Azealia’s INDEPENDENT album with no record deal or label shows talent and diversity, and is worth ALOT more than Iggy’s mess of an album, especially when she had payola behind her
Let’s just hope her 2nd/3rd or whatever album it’s classed as has better songs and sells more…
I didn’t bring up The Reup’s sales to compare to the Reclassified, you missed the point entirely. Your entire response is based off YOUR opinion and I don’t argue opinions. Sorry sweetheart, but in the eyes of the people who matter, it is considered a reissue and the original album is considered a hip-hop album. Their classifications>>>>a random salty hater on the internet. Deal with it.
Im sorry but if you have THAT kind of institutional backing, you should be able to do more than 11K on your re-release.
The fact of the matter is Iggy is a singles artist. That, in of itself, is not a bad thing. But what you don’t get to do is be anointed the second coming in hip hop (as her fans did) when a) you’re a pop artist b) your demographic is skewed towards a non hip-hop audience c) your debut album is complete and utter garbage
Now, say what you will about A B but she will ALWAYS be better than Iggy. Iggy will NEVER produce an album better than “Broke With Expensive Taste.” You wanna know why? She.does.not.have.it.in,her.
But nice list of excuses though.
*bumps Ice Princess*
Uhm, Billboard said weeks ago that they are NOT counting Reclassified sales to The New Tragic because all the songs from The New Tragic is not on Reforgotten.
Someone with sense, tell em again!!!
Your whole post is BS, Regurgitated isn’t actually a re-release, it’s an EP/album no matter how much you and others say otherwise. These sales WILL NOT COUNT towards TNC as these songs aren’t featured on Regurgitated, look it up. TRU is an ACTUAL re-release and sold pretty well considering there was much less promo & less available to purchase and actual re-releases don’t sell the best. There’s no excuse, Fancy was ‘song of the summer’ to a lot of people, Payola aided of course, so there’s no excuse for these awful sales of this and TNC! She may be new but she’s not a nobody, she’s everywhere and still flops. Actually Azealia is a perfect example of talent > marketing. She had no promo, no label backing/marketing machine, it’s all her and sold more than Piggy. Payola/Good marketing is no substitute for actual talent, this is why Piggy won’t prosper. Clearly I dislike her, but I am looking at this objectively, she’s a certified singles artist.
I AM HOLLERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP SAYING ITS A RE-RELEASE BECAUSE IT IS NOT!!!! ITS HER SECOND ALBUM!!!! AND HAS A DIFFERENT NAME DUMBASS…IT ALSO HAS 8 NEW SONGS….AND NO ONE WONTS TO BUY IT BOOOOOHOOOOO LMAO NICKI WOULD NEVER!
this album is seriously free falling on itunes. already at 26 and it hasn’t even been 2 full days
The best, true example of a singles artist, in years!!
Millions of records sold, yet, not even a gold album in sight!
Cute little ditties, tho! 🙂
Oh I forgot re-releases always sell great amounts. They’re in the same category as Greatest Hits albums.
But whatever. Only 5-10% of artists nowadays are major album sellers. Fall back TGJ
It’s not a re-release, you’d have to actually re-release your existing album with new songs, which she didn’t. What she did do, however, was re-release three flop singles, one that’s played out, that Beg Sh!t and some new songs. That unfortunately doesn’t count as a re-release.
All this hate lol, this b**** is clearly making hits and getting PAID big time this year. Can’t wait for her new album next year. I mean… 2 million worldwide for “black widow” 7 million for “fancy”… Her latest “heavy Crown” goes hard.
She isnt getting a lotta money, as a matter of fact she didnt appear on forbes cash kings list this year. N stop bragging about fancy n bw, two FEATURES that got radio deals :-/ n that she performed everywhere. Fancy hasnt actually sold 7M WW. Piggy is done, her albums AND singles r flopping now. Easy come easy go.
F*** I wasted my money
I’m definitely a Nicki fan again lol
I should have never left
That album was terrible
#tpp 12.15.14
The Blood bath this mammal will get come 12.16
I can’t wait for the Pink Slip numbers in December. That will be a real kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Atleast Nicki is releasing her album, when will Fish Cumm release anything beyond a mixtape? Since you can’t cling to Uggly no more who will you cling to?.
You underestimate the Queen of Rap too much. Almost every artist goes thru that sophomore slump. But with this 3rd album the Barbz gone show u who the real QUEEN is. Go buy regurgitated so it can go gold.
Aww it’s cute that you have to worry about my fave cuz you know you can’t excuse these sales and Ling Ling ain’t hitting billboard again so the only person you can talk about is the Queen! That’s sweet. I’m sure you’ve already got it marked on your calendar but here it is again, enjoy 12.15.14 xo
All of Nic’s albums went #1 and are platinum. PF sold 3.8M WW; PFRR sold 1.6M WW and every single from those albums slayed commercially :).
Lol where is the bandwagonist Truth?? I wanna drag ‘IT’. So this is your queen of hip hop? Bwahahahahaha
LOL Yes, I was ready for it to come with the usual stank p**** ho, biitch and other gibberish it writes.
Well, damn.
Yall grabbed Iggy by her weave ponytail and drug her through the pits of hell and back! LMAO!
The Barbs are going to be merciless on 12.15.
12.15 is the day we show all dem lessors who the Queen really is.
