Since catching the eye of the public in 2007, Nicki Minaj has found herself enjoying feats we doubt even she could have imagined on that infamous staircase.
So, in case the release of two Platinum albums, a world tour and a judging spot on ‘American Idol‘ wasn’t enough to blow her way, her fans have given her even more of a reason to feel good about her Pop standing this week.
Find out why below…
@nickiminaj‘s Starships has sold over 3.7 million downloads in the US. It’s the 5th top-selling song of 2012.
— Chart News (@chartnews) September 19, 2012
The above, if it isn’t already obvious, comes as epic news as it follows the single’s record for having spent the most consecutive weeks in the US Top Ten, upon its February 4th launch date.
As of July, the single has sold 721,000 copies in the UK and has been certified Platinum five times in Australia, where it peaked at #2.
Hopefully, the success of ‘Ships’ will encourage Minaj to give all of her numbers the promotional push they need to match this recent feat, to ensure singles like ‘Pound The Alarm‘ and ‘Va Va Voom’ reach their full commercial potential a la ‘Super Bass’.

Y’all brag on LilKim’s grammy soooo much. What y’all gonna do when Nicki wins a grammy for one of her singles with only her on it? Kim won a grammy with 5 people on 1 pop song. *sings* Staaarshiiips were meant to flyyyyyy i i i i…
Right but Nicki hasn’t won one yet, so until she does #SUCKABIGDICK
ok but the new single THE BOYS is flopping left,right and center!

The song sucks tho. It’s so cheesy.
Music is Dead.
her career is too chile
i guarantee her next album will not go platinum.
(roman reloaded technically hasnt sold platinum either).
her time is UP. now people are tired of her gimmicky antics, she is too old.
everyone is moving on to Azealia banks and anticipating the return of Missy Elliott.
You can’t guarantee s*** cuz u same hating b****** said she wouldn’t be THIS successful and she is shitting on YOU and YOUR FAVS!
how bout WE ALL just S*** IN YO MOUF H**!! you SLOW DEATH BY BREATHE B****!!
How you said: “she is too old” then you say “everyone is anticipating the return of Missy Elliot” who is WELL into her 40s. ???
I love nicki but I’m not the biggest fan of starships
NAWL YOU B**** STAN FOR HER LIKE YOU BEEN DOING!!
Congratulations to Nicki! No hate!
YES.. I may not llike the all the material she releases, & I do have issues with her image sometimes. That being said, this is a really smart business woman who has accomplished alot more than any other female rapper before her, Missy & Foxy said it best “Nicki Minaj is a real hustler”

DEAD! None of these s*** is related to music. As far as I know, she cancelled several tour dates in Europe because of the lack of Europeans’ interest on her diarrhea.
DEAD @ Ice Age Movie. That ugly ass b**** only had one word in the entire movie. You can’t even see her ugly face on the big screen.
American Idol Judge? LMFAO!!!
These stupid b****** are so stupid. LOL.
WTF are YOUR accomplishments, b****
Well when you do pop/dance record which is the formula for success right now of course you going to achieve more and just because you throw a few hip hop tracks on a album doesn’t make you Queen of hip hop.
No hate but she is overrated and Missy is the true innovator
Co’sigh

“NAUGH BAUGH PHAUGHKINN KAYRZ”
.
Plus, they make me wanna SHOOT MY LOAD in my boxers when they talk about her having accompalished more than Lil’ Kim, or even “winning” a South-African Sergeant’s s***.
Lil’ Kim sold 5 million >RAP< albums in the US alone, how many albums have this flop b**** sold worldwide, despite all the Red-One ass-kissing she did?
And DEAD at that interview last track on her second album, where she mentioned in the meaning of "I'm the female Jay-Z".
I mean, ONIKA STOP!
And please don't tell me "she WILL soon cross that mark". If her career remains messy and s***** like that, it'll be over by 2013.
. . . . . . . . . .
@beyoncesbush
As if Beyonce hasn't out-done 2.5 x Rihanna's albums, DVD's, tours, movies, side-products, and every f****** thing.
Gurl stop!
chile thank you!! i’m on the lil kim post below this post repping for the queen!!
H** Stop. Kim didn’t sell s***. She had to give most of her money to the people who wrote her raps.
sucka d*** b****
You go eat a sick p****. F**!
Congratz to her,she wasn’t lying when she said she wants to win on every avenue and she is doing it,i got my Pink Friday perfume before it sold out,it,s fire.
c***
Amm…Don,t you have d-ck to blow.
@Os -DEAD LOL
Wack. It still didnt reach number one though.
Trasy Minaj have a seat boo. That spot on AI will not help that horrible ass LP.
Trashy*
Have a seat b****. Who cares if it didn’t go number 1. It still sold over a million copies dummy.
how many did you sell b****? Read THAT!
So much hate, let her do her thing if you guys dont like it dont watch her s***!!
btw her album did go platinum 😉
f*** you b****
SHE STILL A FLOP !
That awkward moment when your single sold more than your album in the entire world…
DEAD @ she’s using AI to revive her career. LOL. B**** just released her second album and her career is already over. I can’t. Bye, flop!
DEAD chile JUST DEAD!!!! LOLOLOLOL
Revive what an,t dead,you are really d-mn,isn’t rihanna a single artist were her singles always out selfs her albums,so what is you,er point gil-sh-t,money is still making it,s all good,they bin asking for her for AI from the get go wayne before her first album,so you can stay there acting like this is the first time them show reach out to her,f-ck you.
Wish her album had sold that much copies.
Nicki is not worried about what these little hating ass bastards got to say about her she still making that money and that’s all that matters.
NICKI DESERVES THIS, UNLIKE SO ARROGANT RETARDS, I BEEN WITH HER FROM THE BEAM ME UP SCOTTY DAYS WHEN SHE WAS WORKING AND PAYING HER DUES, SHE SPAT FIRE BACK THEN, AND FOR PEOPLE SAYING SHE TURNED COMMERCIAL, IF YOU LISTEN TO HER SONGS ON HER OLD MIXTAPE, YOU CAN TELL SHE ENJOYED A GOOD POPPY HOOK, SO DONT JUDGE HER JUST COZ SHE WANT TO EXPRESS HERSELF, IS SHE NOT ALOUD TO BE A FEMALE AND HAVE CUTE SONGS? DOES SHE HAVE TO WEAR HOODIES AND SWEATPANTS AND RAP ABOUT MONEY ALL THE TIME, IS THAT THE FEMALE RAPPER YOU WANT? FALLLLLLL BACK NICKI IS WINNING ALL THE WAY
I didn’t know that Nicki Minaj’s so old. She’d better hurry up and make some cash now, because time is catching up. No one will care about Nicki Minaj when she turns into the 40’s, no one wants to see that b**** looking like a RuPaul’s Drag Race former contestant with a deformed ass and boobs rappping… I mean, mumbling about her fake ass and plastic boobs. Oh! I forgot, I’m being very generous about the “40 yo” thing, because as far as I know her career is already dead and buried, and that’s why she’s on American Idol.
“no one wants to see that b**** looking like a RuPaul’s Drag Race former contestant ”
*FAINTS, GET’S UP & FAINTS AGAIN* 🙂
if nicki minaj is a rapper, then ke$ha is a rapper and “tik tok” is one of the highest selling female rap singles of all time.
Worst music of all time only after “Pound the alarm” this b**** sucks ass…
Can’t wait for her next album, it will surely go platinum! Probably at 300k this time but still, shipping 700k extra copies is an acheivment ot the barbs.
The power of a BRAINWASHING BIASED ASS MEDIA! Grab your aluminum foil and cover your head ppl! Don’t let media manipulation, bullying and lies happen to you! 🙂
LOL! Nah really, congrats to Nicki. I really dislke this song tho!
Wow the anger! Lmao you guys are so pressed.
guys seriously, all this slanting and cussing each other out <<<<
i couldnt even make out some of those comments becuase every 2nd word is an expletive. there has to be a more mature way of getting your point across. since the word "stan" became popular, we've all kinda run with it and lost decorum somwhere along the way. i know it's only a blog but still
of course your comment is completely right but what most people will do is f-this or you and say they will do what they want because they dont have any class, there are rihanna stans that i dont even like because they are complete idiots.
what are the first 4 best sellers?
i would take a guess and say two of them would be carly rae jepsens call me maybe and fun. we are young, I think taylor swifts new song will be one of the best sellers of this year also.
Damnn nicki will u ever stop making money!?!!! Congrats
Congrats to nikki I like her music not all of it but a lot of it and I love to see females doing their independent thing in the music buisness we dont have a lot of female rappers out and I am glad she is doing it big b/c no one else is and I can’t hate her making her dreams come true so congrats to her.
I meant to say at the end that I can’t hate on her for making her dreams come true.
Nicki Minaj currently has a net worth of over $60 million. Regardless if she sells albums or singles or not…she’s still one of the richest pop stars/rappers in the world. She’s STILL making money from her WORLD TOUR and her re-release that’s coming out soon. So that net worth is bound to rise even higher. All of you haters on this website are PATHETIC. You sit behind your cheap ass computer screens dragging down successful artists when they don’t meet your expectations. It’s sad, really. You should all RESPECT any artist or celebrity that has made a NAME for themselves because it’s something that NONE of US will ever do, including myself. Now run tell that.
