Can you hear that?
No? Well that’s the sound of Nicki Minaj breaking barriers and exceeding expectations.
Indeed, despite coming under fire for her less than stellar live performances, the Rapper broke an astounding record today, one week after the release of her new LP.
Find out what below…
Minaj is now the first Female Rapper to score a #1 album in UK chart history, surpassing feats landed by Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott and Eve.
Beating Madonna‘s ‘MDNA’ and Adele‘s ‘21′ to the top spot, the LP became one of the fastest selling projects of the year when it sold 20,000 units in the country- in 24 hours. This, coupled with her expected US #1 this Wednesday, she is set to make the it the highest selling LP in the world this week, after reaching #5 on the Australian Album’s Chart.
Nicki has even touch down in the UK yet
Starships video is not even out yet
Nicki Local? ahhaa
YES SHE IS THE BARBIE SHE IS SUPA HOT
BEEZ IN YOUR FAVE
And she will keep on winning while the haters help keep her alive. I bought her album on iTunes and Amazon and I bought it in the stores too. I support my QUEEN. Ante up!
All I can say is…. congrats Onika! We never doubted her for a second! Team Minaj b****!
B****
honestly , anyone can effortlessly be #1 in UK ….
even irrelevant flopped acts like JLS and cher “something i can’t remember” ….
B**** if u think that is an achievement ..
➡ ➡ ➡
RR is a great pop album though 😉 , U go nicki !
Not everybody can have a #1 album,singles?Yes.Album ? No.
Ask Adele !!!
Nicki deserved this album to become number one.
Flop b****
pop royalty, you’re a sickening joke. Everything is contextual. Nicki Minaj has not STEPPED foot in the UK since 2010, she doesnt have a #1 single there and she stil got to #1.
Your goat fave has to spend an entire week in the country to make sure she reaches #1 , Nicki getting em in her sleep. So fall the feck beck heaux!
I know you Nicki fans want something to celebrate, but stop comparing Nicki to Lauryn Hill. You need to understand Lauryn sold 8 million albums in the USA alone. She sold 18 million worldwide. Her album still sells to this day. Celebrate Nicki, but stop being ridiculous.
@pinkbitches oh shut the f*** up, dont be stowing shade of pop princess rihanna, on the other hand congrats nicki!!!!!!!!!! trinidadian to d bone!!!!!!!
KEEP DOING YOU NICKI !
FIRST FEMALE RAPPER TO GO #1 IN UK HISTROY
NICKI BRINGING FEMALE RAP BACK ON THE MAP AND SLAYING YOUR FAVES HAHAHA!

but remember those amazing navy rules :
1. numbers never lie.
2. you are as good as your last effort.
and if you are going to ask me , i only respect billboard main chart and ww sales. and maybe itunes ww chart. nothing more , nothing less.
this of course beside me liking the song or not.
stop playing dirty boy 😉
@kat :
stay pressed b****. i know you pretend to be a nicki stan cuz she’s hot at the moment , stay on perfecting your role as a barb and stop talking plz.. you are doing horribly to get the navy’s attention , if you want to p*** the navy off just ask me , k ?
and me and you know you are not that big of a beyonce stan , you are rolling with whoever you think will be a threat to rihanna , this is you in one sentence.

YASSS NICKI GET YO LIFE BOO….DAMN, DAMN WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME……..I’M SHITTIN ON YOUR WHOLE LIFE YASSS MA’MA
@Beez :
gurl RE-read and Re-vise my first comment , how your brain translate words like ” u go nicki” as hatred ?!!
are u that retarded ?! 😯
and miss me with the irrelevant ” #1 in us” album tired s***. i already had like my phD as a rihanna stan in this particular topic and i can shut you down with it. but i won’t. cuz i won’t be arguing with a nicki stan. maybe a beyonce stan , a katy stan or even a ciara stan , but not a nicki stan.
and now that your 15 minutes of exposure are over ….

2 Look around you,I dont think I am the only one (Bey stan or not) support Nicki.I’ve always been there giving my 2 cents about what she did
3 I dont have to pretend s*** cause it didnt like her when superbass was doing great because I dont like thi s***** song.
4 you are the one who want to get pissed,you want to get attention for the bey stans you seem to hate.Why is that?
when you log in you always reply to someone affiliated to bey yet pretend that they are bully.D
Lmao you are the one who went from changing your avatar from Bey to gaga to goat.You’ll be on Nicki BarbieWorld soon enough Mr No loyalty
Good for Nicki, this is wonderful but if and when your Smart People get
a chance from your Busy Lives From trying to Belittle Rihanna and her
Navy,,,,Find that article that in Entitled: Beyonce, Rihanna & Lady Gaga
help women rule pop music world and Reat it…. And since you or always
trying to let the Air out of Rih & The Navy Tires, pay close Attention to what
the Article says about each of the Ladies…..
And since Rih is the one you wish was selling the Apples back in Barbados
Double check and read how the “Caribbean” Is Spoken off in the Article and
do what you already knoiw to do, “Eat Yo Heart’s Out!!!

Great Nicki, i love the album, my fav. songs are “Young forever” and “Marilyn Monroe”.
The fact that Nicki Minaj has only been in the game for 2yrs and is already breaking records that were held by Lauren Hill & Missy Elliott is so awesome. Compared to female rappers who has been doing it for 15 or more years I’d say Nicki is *Blazing*….Look how long it took them to accomplish what Nicki has in only 2yrs. GO NIC!!
I will forever Stan for Nicki and Bey! Well done Nicki, slay dem h***.
No matter how hard the navy and Rihanna is Bashed and no matter how hard many of you want Nicki and Rita to take the “Caribbeans” Spot shes still hot to Trot and Soundscanand other Music Entities or speaking on it.
I am proud if her and happy for her. #WINNING
@ONYX, my faves are Marilyn Monroe, HOV Lane, Pound The Alarm, Va va Voom, Starships, Gunshot and I Am Your Leader.

boy , me and you know how popular rihanna is ….. so miss me.
it is your opinion , so i won’t be going back and forth with it. you know what i’m going to say already. k ?!
and miss me with the icons part , neither Beyonce nor rihanna are like them legends you mentioned.
and i respect billboard main singles chart. when it comes to singles and WW sales when it comes to albums.
good enough ?! 😉
@kat deluna :
k b**** , guess who’s gonna be in my gravatar , i promise u gonna like it !
hint : on the 6 !!

NOT everybody can go to #1 in the UK. Pink friday debuted @ #16 while shifting 375k in US. But this time around she got her #1 in the UK without even setting foot in the country, because she created a brand for her.
Unlike ur faves who forget that their FANS are the reason they’re famous, Nicki doesn’t forget that. She tweets DAILY, she thanks the Barbz and Team Minaj in EVERY INTERVIEW.
‘F*** u said b****? F*** u pornstar …
But how many copies did it sold the first week then? Hell some TGJ posts are lame. They give the first day but not the first week?
YESSSS NICKI !!!!
You haters have the right to remain pressed! I kept tell everyone Nicki is no local act! Be happy for her & move the f*** on. She’s winning! WINNING!
Thats quite an acheivememt for her naysayers that said she was gonna flop but ima be honest the album is not that great. Just putting it simple coulda been better.
@JOHN
The official numbers arent out yet.
Mtfs can stay mad at people supporting a woman doing things properly,a woman in a control of her career reaching for the stars.I mean Go hate on Rita because she is on Roc team,Nicki is YMCMB they are about business,not fake controversies or childish moves.
@lax THE KING IS #1(HBIC LOL) ….HAPPY EASTER
Congratulations to Nicki.
However, as a true fan, I want a STELLAR album from Nicki. That’s two albums & the first is average and the second is below average. Oh well, album #3…..
You Riri stans sure sound bitter & pressed. If you guys were so confident that no one can take Rihanna’s spot you wouldn’t keep trying to justify otherwise. Be happy for Nicki & stop trying to make remarks that will not convince us that she’s winning. Until next time, stay pressed & get cho life!
Congrates to Nicki she did well, I want to no how much the Lp sold as it is easy to get a top 10 LP compared to 10 years ago. I mean look at how may LPS come out now compared to even three years ago. I have seen songs like the Maroon 5song in the UK chart now for over four months, nothing is comming out same songs in the 10 ten for over two months so it will be easy to get a high position in the UK now a days.
Congrats, Nicki. Pretty impressive for a sophomore LP.
With Lady Gaga on a break, the Azealias busy fighting about nothing and Rihanna doing Rihanna, the floor is all hers for at least the next six months. Knock yourself out; Onika.
@RICHNBLACK,,,The only thing the Kaaaaang is #1
At is Being in the Number #1 on “Grape” Blog Spot….
@GETCHO,,,Same old same old with folk like you, always tryin
to nit pick away at the Navy standing up for Ourselves, well hey Spin it
any which way but loose , because if the cap fit then wear that sucker.
And another thing if Rihanna wasn’t all that then we would not have to try and help you loose Bytches learn how to breath instead of holding your stank breath so long and hard on your wore out knees praying for Rihanna to flop and RITA AND NICKI TAKING HER PLACE.
When Loose bytches or talking s*** about Rihanna i don’t see or read no fukkkin dear john letters asking these “Looney Tunes” to back the fukk up off rihanna so as far as what you and your broke di** ass is yapping about to the Navy ,,take that fcukkkin advice for you and your dam self, you dam “Looney”, and stick it where you live and thats where the sun don’t dare to Shine, in yo Hiney!!!!
The Navy isn’t Bitter we love watching the “Fireworks” from all directions and with our fave name being always all up in the mix….you loose bytches can’t help yourselves
Rihanna the “HBIC’ Bythes, read em and weep< keep aiming for her Crown.
This sight is such a joke the way it kisses her and Rihanna’s asses….
This site has never kissed Rihanna’s ass…it’s quite the unfortunate opposite. Sam is a hater of Rihanna.
@ H** STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@LAX,,,,,WOULD YOU AND YOUR SMALL TOOL,,,STFU…..
^^^
sam doesnt kiss riris ass but dont let it fool you he has a rihanna navy flag on his wall! she just cant stand how much she loves riri! lol
anyways good job nicki, i still dont like the album but that aint going to stop it from selling!! but people arent that surprised by it going to #1 though she had major hype and part of the album is dance music which is always hot in the UK because they love to party!! go ahead nicki but what i want from her since she will probably stick with the pop music for her albums i wish she would do another mixtape that would be hott then she wouldnt have to worry about making something that would sell!!
Nicki did say she does’nt care about first week sell’s she’s concerned about what the album does in the long run. Her first album has sold 1.8mil so far and it debuted at #2 then later went to #1 on US album charts. So we’ll see what this one does in sell’s.
Her album was just okay. Where’s Trina?

Okay congratulations…i guess !!!!!
But it seems like anyone can get a number 1 album in the U.K.
Don`t compare Rihanna`s worldwide status to Nicki`s !
Because Rihanna`s worldwide status >>>>> Nicki`s !!!!
Rihanna has fans across the globe

@JAMIR21 re: April 8, 2012 at 7:34 pm —
“But it seems like anyone can get a number 1 album in the U.K.”
Does that “anyone” also include your fave? The “singes artist” Rihanna?
“Don`t compare Rihanna`s worldwide status to Nicki`s”
When Nicki Minaj begins to tour the “world”, much like Rihanna has been doing for much of HER career, THEN we’ll see; YOU’LL then see less and less of your fave. The two artists who’ve YET to “world tour” since their latest releases: Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown.
“Because Rihanna`s worldwide status >>>>> Nicki`s !!!!”
1.) Rihanna has been touring “worldwide” and thus has built something of a following. A “singles” following, I should add.
2.) I wonder, just how much “fans” will remain after she becomes “the face” of a $450-Million failure: “Battleship”?
“Rihanna has fans across the globe”
(Again…) And after Nicki Minaj soon begins to tour “across the globe” then, we’ll see. Up till now, Rihanna has had the ‘world stage’ all to herself. And, up until now, she’s YET to evolve into “more” – she still remains a “singles” artist.
Your Rihanna is fighting a war on many fronts:
1.) Nicki Minaj is erasing her from the Pop-culture Landscape.
2.) Rita Ora, who is FAR-more talented than your fave, is now the apple of Rihanna’s former mentor’s eye.
3.) Chris Brown has publicly REJECTED her. Matt Kemp’s handlers have now warned him about being too closely associated with her, as she’s proved herself, as see in 2010, that she brings nothing but bad luck and strife to all the men who publicly court her.
4.) “Battleship” is a film that will cost $450-Million in final bring-to-theater costs. Rihanna is BY FAR T-H-E best known face AND name of all the actors for/of that $450-Million movie. Ergo: Rihanna will be the face of a “$450-Million FAILURE”..!!

@Sam/TGJ,
Wow, you said a lot in this one little post….LOL! First, Congrats to Nicki I’m not a fan but she did her thing and slayed inspite of her many critics! Second, the women you stated paved the way for this feat to occur so we need to always recognize that fact! Finally, those who choose to stay true to their particular genre of music are not being narrow-minded as you seem to suggest. Not everyone is interested in Nicki’s theatrics!
Does her thing and it’s working so congrats to Nicki Minaj
