Sales Figures: Nicki Minaj Nabs The #1 Spot After 11 Weeks

Published: Wednesday 9th Feb 2011 by Trent

Nicki Minaj has achieved an incredibly rare feat on the Billboard 200 chart. The rapper’s ‘Pink Friday’ has finally managed to claim the #1 spot in its 11th week on the tally on the tally after debuting at #2 when released on November 22nd.

Although ‘Pink Friday’ climbed to the chart’s summit with only 45k copies sold, the record performed well enough to surpass the 1 million sales mark. Hence, while the Minaj was award a platinum certification on December 17th for moving over 1 million units in shippers, she has now officially sold that figure at retail outlets.

Other acts making moves on the charts this week include Bruno Mars whose ‘Doo-Wops & Hooligans’ climbs to #4 with 32k copies sold (down 3%) while Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ LP rebounds 8 spots from #13 to #5 13-5 by selling 29k (up 15%).  Rounding out the top 10 of the album chart are P!nk’s ‘Greatest Hits … So Far!!!’ reenters the top 10 at #9 with 25k in sales (down 6%) and Eminem’s ‘Recovery’ rises from #12 to #10, selling 25k copies (up 18%).

Finally, Chris Brown’s ‘Look At Me Now’ debuts on the Digital Songs chart with 158k downloads (his highest entry since ‘No Air’ with Jordin Sparks which sold 153k in 2008).

    @ASDF

    Niki did sell more then RiRi in the first week so most likely she would reach the million mark before rihanna.

    BTW this is just her first album so stop like she’s the s*** and when her second album can’t sell s*** you people are nowhere to be found.

    Like Kelly and Ciara Fans.

    GET IT CHRIS! Congratulations boy!!

    Now let me get this straight, Nicki shipped 1 million but only sold 45k in stores? By “shipped” does that mean digital CD downloads as well as pre-ordered CD’s? Hummm??

  31. asdf February 9, 2011

    @ peris there is no need for all the name calling take some meds cuz its not that damn serious is it?? this post is about nicki on the billboard 200 charts (US) thats what NICHOLE GIRL meant… NOT the world charts soo why even bring something up THATS soo irrelevant read the post again

  32. Royalkev February 9, 2011

    Wether you like Nicki’s music or not she is really a nice girl. I’m glad she’s doing well and that she managed to get to #1. I really think she’s worked hard for it, so congrats!

    *NEW* Check out: Thepagewithroyalkev.b*******.com (where there’s a place for EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING has it’s place).

  33. Nichole February 9, 2011

    S&M ain’t nothin, but a blatant rip off of Dave LaChapelle’s work and so what if she has outsold Nicki overseas. That still doesn’t change the fact that Nicki has consistently outsold Loud each week since November.

    Loud is such a dud in the US.

  34. asdf February 9, 2011

    @ B@tch Please
    yeah thats what i was trying to say i did a typo nicki did out sell rihanna alot! lol

    @ ASDF , I APOLOGIZE BUT YES NICKI IS KILLING IT. …..IM HAPPY FOR HER. I BOUGHT HER ALBUM AS WELL. RIHANNA IS ALSO DOING THE DAMN THANG!

  37. Well hello. February 9, 2011

    This is just sad the girl and her team or label, whoever, are out there buying this album. That’s really sad. I mean lets just be honest for a minute, who is actually still running out to buy this?w all know the buzz is long gone . This never happens except with rereleases and really good promo or a quality album, and this case is neither. So sad that they are really out there buying up these albums themselves just to make a point , a real person would never do that

  38. asdf February 9, 2011

    @ Peris all good..

  39. Traci Summers February 9, 2011

    okay.. she sold alot.. still hasnt sold as much as kim.. its her 1st album.. big deal.
    still doesnt validate anything. and lil kim started in 1996 and has 4 albums out with 1 mixtape. so shut the f*** up. nicki just started in 2009 all of u b****** need to quit downplaying other female rappers just because nicki is doing well at the moment. shes a gimmick. and wont last very long she she needs to pray she can have this moment for life. call me a hater but i dont care so many other talented artists deserve to sell more records and get shine but they dont. only the talentless swagger jackers get high movers.. DIE NICKI

  40. Traci Summers February 9, 2011

    young money or lil wayne is buying out her albums. aint NOBODY else running to get her cd’s i know this for a fact.. her label is buying them out. staymad at the truth. kanye west n other ppl shud b acheiving this feat. nicki has hardly any fans as kanye does. anyway.. shes a fraud she stole her way to the top

  41. Traci Summers February 9, 2011

    OMFG @ WELL HELLO … U HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ther onli buying it to prove a point .. to spite kim.. or the make ppl think shes the queen it aint outta talent sumthing seems very FAKE about her “sales”

  42. Peris February 9, 2011

  53. KELLYwhereAREyouMA?? February 9, 2011

    It only takes 45,000 sales to have a number 1 album this Week? Why isn’t Kelly Rowland dropping that album right now”??! I am so mad @ her people for not doing her right..If I was an exec at her label I would have that album rush shipped and dropped this month. She can at least do 50,000. Smh.

    And to Nicki that is absolutely amazing..they said Kanye was mad she outsold him..lol..Ooops…

  54. anon February 9, 2011

    when the trinity slays there will be none of this weak album selling

    Britney – 300k +
    Bey – 300k +
    Gaga – 300k +

    Those numbers are estimates but they will easily kill the billboard 200 off + World charts

    Watch my word, these lessers are about to be slayed!!

  55. KELLYWHEREisTHEalbum?? February 9, 2011

    I love Nicki, Kim and Riri- but no shade,,,if Kim did some videos like Nicki and got some good producers and a young ghost writer- she could be on top again…BASICALLY BECOME NICKI!!

    Also I hope KELLY ROWLAND does good I want her to succeed so BAD but I’m so scare cuz she has some BIG ARTIST coming out this YEAR but maybe she will hold her GROUND, I’m just ready for her to at least drop a SINGLE!!

  70. KAT DELUNA FAN February 9, 2011

    RIHANNA AND HER STANS ARE SO ONE TRACK MINDED .

    WHY CANT YOU JUST CONGRATULATE NICKI FOR SOMETHING RIHANNA HAS NEVER DONE EVAAAAAA INSTEAD OF POSTING THOSE B******* ITUNES UPDATES ?????????????

    REALLY ??

  71. HP February 9, 2011

    when beyonce come back out i think her next tour will do 130-140 million+ since this one did 116 million and i think the next album will do 8 million since [iasf] did 9.5 million,,,,,,,,,, haters stay mad

  72. Speaks Truth February 9, 2011

    @ Kelly, everyone makes mistakes, I’m pretty sure you went off on your bf/gf and jacked them up not saying it’s right to put your hands on anyone but it’s wayyyyyyy more to the STORY for CHRIS to act the way he did but I RESPECT becuz he maned up and TOOK the BLAME for everything, your fav RIHANNA played the VICTIM as usual and from what I’m seeing on mediatakeout EVERYDAY is her being n*** or kissing down another DUDE so I UNDERSTAND why CHRIS did what he did!! But NOOOOOOO MAN should every put there HANDS on A FEMaLE and the same goes for an FEMALE #thatisall

  73. Speaks Truth February 9, 2011

    And I’d you saying that you ONCE a person make a MiSTAKE that there going CONTINUE then your ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT some folks do LEARN/GROW from there MISTAKES!! #imdone it’s now 2011 let that s*** go its the PAST everyone MOVED on from IT!!!

  74. what? February 9, 2011

    @SPEAK ALOT..getting your info from mediatakeout says alot about u..lmao..no need to even argue with u.

  75. D.Strock February 9, 2011

    TBH I didn’t think this would happen. Congrats to her though

  76. KELLYWHEREisTHEalbum?? February 9, 2011

    @ Speaks hitting someone is one thing

    BUT,,,

    2 black eyes..bite marks , bruises, and all that is a whole nother story. Anybody else would have paid for that, but Chris got a slap on the wrist…

    and he didn’t MAN UP…He realised his MONEY was at stake if he LOST FANS so he told yall dummies whatever you wanted to hear. No one deserves to be beat like that for ANY REASON!

    VIOLENCE IS NEVER JUSTIFIED!

  77. #YeahISaidIt February 9, 2011

    Kelly keep Chris out ya mouth. He don’t need your support, he got his fans

  78. Aryo February 9, 2011

  80. Speaks Truth February 9, 2011

    @ What, well the stories I read on mediatakeout I don’t believe but seeing the PICTURE is EVIDENCE and I know Photoshop programs really well I do MODELING on the side SWEEHEART

    @KELLY, ahahhaha DUMBIES how are we DUMB that man been through HE’LL, what he really wanted to say he Wasent ALLOWED to say becuz either way you all were goig pick RIHANNA side anywayz, no MATTER what he said, I bet if she come out right now and say “Chris hit me becuz I cheated or I provoked him” you still would be on her SIDE but that okay becuz in the NEXT few YEARS they probably EVENTUALLY wind up back TOGETHER so we see, I’m done ARGUING about something in the PAST when both PARTIES has moved on from it but you dumb ass RIHANNA stans want to keep PURSuAiNG the s***, you need to worryingbkut her talking bout she like WHIPS & CHAINS, SLAP & Choke then to be worried bout Chris brown, let’s talk about her shoving those BANANAS down her THROAT, LETS talk about slogging down these female ENTERTAINERS sense you wan to talk about CHRIS NEGATIVITY Speak on that #powpowpowpowpow, oBVIoUS CHris gave her D*** and Now she showing her TRUE COLORS, onLY thing NEGATIVE you can say bout CHRIS is about that FIGHT but That FOREHEAD CHIC you need to tell act like a LADY with some CLASS in her INTERViEWS instead of talking bout D*** & S** everytime and she suppose to be PROMOTING “LOUD” lmaooooooo #loudassmess

  81. Keesha February 9, 2011

    Glad that Chris’ single is doing well. That’s all I’m on this post for.

    F.A.M.E. March 22nd!!!

  82. Keesha February 9, 2011

    Look if you don’t want to support Chris, then don’t. No one is making you support him, but don’t try to make people not like him just because you don’t.

  83. Keesha February 9, 2011

    And all of this arguing and bickering about what Chris did 2 years ago won’t change what he did 2 two years ago. I’m trying to figure out when idiots will realize this.

  84. Speaks Truth February 9, 2011

    @ keesha, thank youuuu, I really Dont understand why they keep bringing the s*** up and then try start a Stan to Drop his career, what more do you want him to SUFFER he been through all the EMBARASSMENT, DEGRADING & all and they still don’t want the man to do GOOD, He’s SUFFER enough move the F*** on, if he DIE or GIVE UP with his career THEN would you be HAPPY, IT seems that what its going take but anwayz he won’t FALL or F*** again so BEAWARE he WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!! #teambreezy

  85. DION-ISH February 9, 2011

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

    Um Thats Great for Nicki….I Dont know any Rihanna fans that are even pressed over that…For One, Rihanna’s on the album and vise-versa, Two, Nicki’s a Rapper NOT even competition.

    If any Rihanna stans respond to anything, its the idiotic claims that haters like you make

    “SHE MAKES RIHANNA LOOK LIKE A ROOKIE ”

    o_O Really?? Girl STOP. Rihanna is selling more then Nicki Minaj…Like really, just stop.

  86. Traci Summers February 9, 2011

    @Dion-ish
    Leave that kat deluna fan alone please its cleary they are a troll and love taking shots at rih let them be ignorant. Besides if Rihanna is a rookie what was/is kat deluna? *death*

  89. True Blue February 9, 2011

    Well damn, is her album really that good?

  90. sane beyhanna stan February 9, 2011

    @true blue
    Wouldn’t say nicki”s albums is a masterpiece. However there are a lot of songs that MANY people can relate to. People have been looking for a proper female rapper with mainstream appeal and I guess she’s filling that void at the moment.

  91. Secret Voice February 9, 2011

    Congratz to Nicki Minaj and hella congratz to Chris Breezy for going platinum in America with Yeah 3x and several other countries.Congratz @ Chris for having 2 singles in the top ten in The U.K…..Champion and Yeah 3x!

  92. KAT DELUNA FAN February 9, 2011

    @DION-ISH
    SELLING MORE ? WHEN ?CAUSE WE ARE TALKIN ABOUT THE USA HERE

    WE KNOW YOU RIHANNA STANS WITH YOUR “GGGB OUTSOLD BDAY” SONG,YOU GONNA ACT THE SAME WAY WITH NICKI’S SUCCESS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT AFTER 4 NUMBER ONE SINGLES,NICKI IS OUTSELLING HER WITHOUT A F***** TOP 5 SINGLE SO FAR.

    I DONT EVEN LIKE NICKI BUT SOME ARE POSTING THOSE ITUNES B******* TO PROVE WHAT EXACTLY ?????

    0 NUMBER 1 SINGLE AGAINST 9 ?! EXCUSE ME BUT RIHANNA LOOK LIKE A ROOKIE NEXT TO NICKI NOW( JUST MY OPINION,NO NEED TO ADRESS ME IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO RIRIH LMAOOOOO )

    BEYONCE AND SADE ARE THE LAST FEMALE BLACK ARTITS TO TOP THE HOT200 BEFORE NICKI.SO ACCEPT THAT SHE IS KICKING RIRIH ASS W/O A F*UCKIN HOT SINGLE..

    DION-ISH CAN YOU JUST ACCEPT THE TRUTH ?? no hate at all just love .Numbers dont lie

  93. Wake Up Six February 9, 2011

  95. DION-ISH February 9, 2011

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

    You are totally psycho.

    Sweetie, in the USA Yes Nicki has sold more then Rihanna and nobody’s denying that. But overall far as WW sales…Rihanna has sold more, shes close to 3 million already….Nicki has only sold about 1 million including WW. Nicki Minaj is more Popular in the USA as of Right now in music. Rihanna is an International Star. Just like in other countries there are artist that are like Nicki and selling loads but WE dont know who they are….Nicki is doing great far as her US sales and appeal and all the congrats in the world to her, shes great…

  96. Tara February 9, 2011

    @Speaks Truth You define the definition of pathetic. Get help soon cause you are just sad. NO ONE is allowed to hit someone unless its self defense.

    And why are ppl comparing Rihanna and Nicki? Um they are two different artists. BOTH r doing their thing and they r friends.

  97. KAT DELUNA FAN February 9, 2011

    Rihanna’s stans are so polite,calling me Psycho and troll for stating my opinion?

    “in the USA Yes Nicki has sold more then Rihanna …and charted higher (top spot)”
    WE AGREE AND THAT WAS MY POINT

    “Nicki Minaj is more Popular in the USA as of Right now in music.”

    REALLY?who got 4 numbers one singles in the UNITED STATES not barbados,not jamaica or Ireland?Who?
    I disagree.

    I am not hating on rihanna but if that’s Rookie statement it’s hurtin’ you guys..SORRY.
    I dont want to see rihanna tatoo something or get a percing because of my sentence.sorry guys.

  98. Nichole February 10, 2011

    @ Kelly. True. Domestic violence is unacceptable. Just hope no man ever puts his hands on you.

  99. DION-ISH February 10, 2011

    @KAT DELUNA FAN

    Um Nicki Far as Hype is more popular int he USA as of now because shes just released her highly anticipated debut for a Female Rap Artist …Everyone has that stage were there at there most high and Nicki is DEF there…Far as a household name anywhere from like Texas to Idaho..ppl like Britney & Rihanna are more popular based off there name were-as Nicki might not be known.

    And Girl please, nothing you say is taken seriously and OBV Rihanna doesn’t read your comments o_O

    @True Blue

    I’m not a Nicki fan, but I will say that her album was better than I thought i would have been. Although I had to listen to it multiple times to actually like it, it’s a pretty decent album. At first I was calling it lackluster, but as time progressed I can honestly give it a pretty good review. But of course, it STILL doesn’t justify anyone comparing her to Lauryn Hill.

  102. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ February 10, 2011

    I wish you guys would ignore the psycho @Nicky commenting under @Peris.

  103. KAT DELUNA FAN February 10, 2011

    @DION ISH
    I disagree but I accept your opinion.I was there to support Bruno Mars and I saw this Itunes updates from S&M once again.I am not a Nicki fan so I know nothing about her fanbase,sale,run chart but What I can see is : she is killin it ,she is doing what etablished artists are doing !

  104. all is fair in love and war February 10, 2011

    for all yall who didnt know nickis been out since like 06 , 07
    the girl anit new , if her s*** was so hot it would not have taken like three years to be notice

  105. jmari February 10, 2011

    congrats to everyone that did good this week.

  106. Guess who February 10, 2011

    Rhianna has the most annoying ass fans. Who cares about her. This is about the Number 1 album and that belongs to Nicki Minaj. When Rhianna starts rapping, you will see how hard that is to do these days. Just look at how many female rappers are attempting to get in but can’t and u see what that means. It means Nicki Minaj is doing something right.

    Worldwide numbers will come with time. She had just gone to the UK for the first time a few weeks ago. It’s so man other places she has to go to. Once she gets her name spread around more, she will reap the success worldwide. Just watch.

    But think on this, this is a female rapper we are talking about here. What rappers have done these numbers all of last year, Em, drake, and Nicki. Nicki looks like she is on pace to outsell drake too.

    ————————————————–

    you can never figure me out… so why try?

  107. Speaks Truth February 10, 2011

    @ Tara, READ what I wrote before you JUDGE me, I been said it’s not justifying putting your hands on a FEMALE and I said the SAME goes for RIHANNA, if RIHaNNA did the damage your ASS would sat back and called CHRIS a b**** etc….. WE don’t know if he was fighting for SELF-DEFENSE or NOT, she COULD have HIT him MUTIPLE times before he even FLIPPED and another thing we STILL don’t KNOW Wat provoke the FIGHT in the first place; butjust becuz he HIT her and doing some GOOD in his life and APOLOGIZE BILLIONS of TIMES doesn’t mean you just wish everything happen to him is BAD, that’s what I SAID, don’t call me PATHETIC because I never said it was OK, I said we didnt impetus it got started, YOU just MAD cuz I put her ASS in CHECK, NO WOMEN should hit THY MAN and NO MAN should DIFINately NOT HIT A FEMALE!! #that’sisall the S*** is over move on, PROBABLY getting SMACK around yourself that’s why you so MAD!!

  108. DION-ISH February 10, 2011

    @GUESS WHO

    Obviously ppl care ENOUGH about her to bring her up in the post with stupid statements claiming Nicki Slays Rihanna and dumb s*** like that….Obviously thee trolls, but dont get upset when Rihanna stans respond back!

    @SPEAKS TRUTH

    Im Still Trying to figure out when and were did CB press charges on Rihanna, or claim she beat him, or proof of bruises etc etc. Because far as i know there were no indications she hit him first and it states in the real report that she did not put her hands on him and CB had to agree with the statements made or else he could’ve put in word for false report.

    Rihanna didnt touch him, plain and simple…The quicker you CB Stans get that through your head, the quicker his career can bounce back…..Lets not play the blame game sweetie *Flips Bang*

  109. Kimberly Jones February 10, 2011

    You sold a Million (On Your Debut) Now Ur Half of Me…… Get off my D***…..Kick It B****!

  110. LinBbyrose February 10, 2011

    Ok, 1st off I will say being tht Nicki & Rihanna are two totally different Genre’s of music, they’re really not comparable. Its way harder to be a Female MC in the game than a female singer, thts why Nicki is being praised so hard for her accomplishments.

    2nd, being that Nicki’s 1st album did better in its 1st week than all 3 of Rihanna’s album, tht should show you how fast she’s catching up. When has Rihanna sold 300k + in the 1st week? This girl hasnt even had a number one album yet & she’s been out since ’05…. wtf.
    -__-

    3rd, Rihanna fans are so quick to bash & tell ppl about theirself. I literally HATE men who abuse women, but GET OVER IT! OMG! None of us are better than the next because we all commit sins & do stupid s*** in our life. None of us are Chris, Rihanna, or God so stop tryna pretend that you really know what the situation is because in reality you dont. Smh you ppl trip me tf out.

  111. LinBbyrose February 10, 2011

  112. Speaks Truth February 10, 2011

    @Dion-ish, sense you were one of the LAWYERS or JUDGE Iand on the outside looking in I’m going listen to you SMFH

    @LiNBByRose, This is a COLD WORLD if you make a MISTAKE and can’t be FORGIVING for it EVER no matter what you do and that’s BASICALLY what RIHANNA stans Let Chris brown KNOW PEROID!!! NO one as long as THERE BORN should NEVER make a mistake and be FORGIVING for IT!! WOW

  113. LinBbyrose February 10, 2011

    @Speaks Truth
    Just rememeber “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

    & at the end of the day, its not up to them to make a decision on Chris & Rihanna becoming friends again. If she learns to let go of the past , forgive, & maybe become associates w/ Chris , tht will definitely prove the strength of a real woman. Not a crazed kiddy ass fan who’s probably 12 & knows nothing about life. smh

  114. DION-ISH February 10, 2011

    @SPEAKS TRUTH

    Just like you were in the car and you saw Rihanna hit him first SMH Next>>>

  118. Badd February 10, 2011

    yayyyy Nicki.
    on twitter someone said that she was the first female
    rap artist to have a #1 album & single at the same time.
    ???????
    Is Moment For Life about to be at the top of the Rap charts???

  119. fern February 10, 2011

    So all y’all saying ppl need to forgive then let’s forgive OJ let’s forgive rapists and beaters all over the world who have just done it once right?

    I always find it sick how Chris fans have to bash Rihanna like she threw her face into his fists. Grow the F up! Rihanna fans can dislike him cause of what he did to their fav artist. Rihanna didn’t do anything to chris. That was all him.

  120. BARBZ STAND UP ;) February 10, 2011

    YEASSS baby we r at the TOP!! So well deserved after all the work shes put into it :D!

  122. EDIDION February 10, 2011

    I dont understand tbh why nicki minaj came for lil kim its clear that kim inspired her.. something MUST have happend behind the scenes that we dont know about. it cant be “oh im upset because shes the new artist” props to nicki for living her dream but leave kim out of this
    she is the queen bee for a reason.. why not be the princess

  123. kind mind February 10, 2011

    nicki had a orgy with martha and roman

  124. kind mind February 10, 2011

    which was the better album mbdf or pink friday

  125. KaVion February 10, 2011

    LMAO @TRUE BLUE..
    You’ve never even listened to the damn album?? Lol
    You’ll have to listen to it 2 or 3 times to fully appreciate the lyrics, guaranteed.

  126. KaVion February 10, 2011

    @EDIDON
    2x platinum is NOT impressive for her time.
    Nicki’s 1x platinum in TODAY’S industry is more impressive than Kim’s 2x platinum in the industry of the past

  127. KaVion February 10, 2011

    @KIND MIND
    Sonically: MBDTF
    Lyrically: Pink Friday

  128. gotintoririfever18 February 10, 2011

    number 1 album

    in the US>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>IN THE WORLD

    cant u see the differents? idiots!

  129. KJ February 10, 2011

    Umm Kim’s debut album took 2 months to be CERTIFIED Gold and 7 months to be certified platinum in the 90’s when there was no illegal downloading. Nicki was CERTIFIED platinum less than a month after her release date. Kim debuted at #11, Nicki debuted at #2. Lil Kim’s hardcore was certified 2x platinum on March 14th 2001. So your silly ‘Kim being 2x platinum’ arguments is pathetic because it took her 5 YEARS to get there. It took Nicki 4 weeks to get 1x platinum… and she is still topping the charts.

    Anyhoo… Go NICKI!!! So proud of her she really deserves this

    Why the hell r people still bitchin about Chris Brown? He was young, he made a really STUPID mistake but Rihanna has forgiven him and moved on. Do the same.

  130. kind mind February 10, 2011

    why wont she confess her undying love for drizzy girl go get yo three strokes

  131. RihStanN February 10, 2011

    I’M JUST GONNA SAY THIS… MAYBE CAUSE I’M FROM THE CARIBBEAN AND HAS MAD LOVE FOR BOTH THESE ARTISTE’S…… I’M A DIE HARD RIHANNA STAN AND I’M GROWING TO L0OVE NICKI MORE N MORE, U GUYZ NEEDS TO CHILL OUT THE POST WAS ABOUT NICKI DOING WELL WHY CANT WE JUST BE HAPPY FOR HER INSTEAD OF HATING AND COMPARING??? I MEAN THESE WOMEN SUPPORT EACH OTHER, WHY CAN’T YOU GUYZ?? RIHANNA LOUD HAS SOLD ALMOST 3MIL WORLDWIDE AND NICK HAS SOLD ABOUT 1.2MIL WORLDWIDE! ITS RIHANNA’S FASTEST SELLING TO DATE IDC IF NICKI SOLD MORE IN THE US….. 900K ISN’T BAD IN 11 WEEKS FOR A GIRL ALL U HATERS SAID WOULDN’T SELL!!

  132. QueenSize February 10, 2011

    i would actually be disgusted if her album didn’t do platinum or more. With all the shucking and jiving homegirl had to despite having all that publicity it would be a damn shame. Don’t you think? personally, I think the album is b******* and some of the things that she does is even worse. I do enjoy Blazing cause of Kanye and especially the sample and Here I Am is the pretty close to real hip hop music. I feel Taylor Swift giving a nod plus that SNL opportunity helped greatly. She’s not quite a movement yet, she could of been. Congrats Minaj. Dear old hip hop please call back.

  133. lola February 10, 2011

    ALL I GOT TO SAY IS HA HA TO ALL THE DUMBASSES WHO WERE LIKE ‘THIS ISN’T REAL HIP-HOP” S***, AND KIM, YOU’RE W****, UGLY, A**, JIGSAW, WASHED UP, DUMBASS ISN’T FOING S*** WITH YOUR LIFE! You tried to come at Nicki to get back in the game, and she kept it classy and professional, ending up with the f****** Number 1 Album in the country, as well as 1+ million copies sold within only a few months! F*** YOU KIM! KARMA’S A B****!
