Beyonce‘s forthcoming ‘Super Bowl’ set may make this week’s most discussed Pop belle, but it’s her ROC sister Rita Ora that’s enjoyed significant gains on the UK charts this week.
Indeed, days after the launch of her ‘Radioactive‘ concert tour, the sales clerk turned superstar joins Rihanna and Nicki Minaj in being one of the week’s chart winners.
Details below…
In the UK, her infectious cut ‘Radioactive‘ rises 14 spots in a single week to claim the #18 spot- before its official February 11th release.
Meanwhile, over on the Urban chart, Rihanna‘s ‘Unapologetic’ rises to #1 on the album’s tally three months after its November 19th 2012 release day, while her moving ballad stay spends its 11th week in the Top 3, after being forced one spot down to #3 by Mackelmore’s ‘Thrift Shop‘.
Over in the US, Nicki Minaj’s poorly promoted ‘Roman Reloaded‘ reaches new heights with the romantic Rap number, ‘Va Va Voom’.
That’s right, despite its confused handling, the single sold a cool 34, 829 units this week bringing its total sales to 841,562- helping the Rapper extend her lead as the first Female Rapper in the last two decades to watch two or more singles pulled from the same album hit the 1 million sold mark in the same year.
This, after the Red One produced ‘Starships‘ reached sales of 4,063,440 units sold and ‘Pound The Alarm‘ hit the 1 million mark before the end of last year.
With 1.5 million units sold worldwide, ‘Reloaded’ now stands as the highest selling Rap album to be put out in the last year, helped in part by sales generated in the UK and Australia- which saw her outsell albums launched by 2 Chainz, Rick Ross and ‘Swimming Pools‘ maestro, Kendrick Lamar.
ok congrats I guess!!!!!!!!
who cares about maraj in 2013 tho ?
how many copies of her latest album she sold so far ? 3 copies ?!
the re-up is NOT an album … On Wikipedia its written that she only has 2 studio albums : Pink Friday and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The Re-Up is a box set..

SLAY ONIKA
Slay Nicki Slay. I cannot wait for The Pink Print, I’ll so be buying. Va Va Voom is my song, I have it on repeat.
Nicki Minaj is making gains basic rap b****** wish they did in their entire careers, and Nicki has only done it in 2 years. She is rap’s premium Femcee and I cannot wait to hear what else she serves up. I love her on American Idol too, she has out-staged Mariah.
When Mariah loses some weight, she might be pleasant to look at once again. I like Mariah, when she’s slimmer and sexier, not when she is the way she is. She needs the gym, just look at how gorgeous J-Lo looks, slim toned and s***, take notes Mariah.
YASSS NIC !! 😛 To all u b****** critizing the re-up sales.. First of all its a re-release, second of all: Billboard PRAISED the Re-Up first week sales. #TEAMMINAJ
Nicki Minaj is SLAYING LEFT AND RIGHT! “Highest Selling Rap album of 2012” How then..is it a flop with 1.5 million ww? Number ones, platinum singles. STAHP!
A full decade and Nicki is the only female rapper winning! BWAHAH!
Like….forreal though. My fav is shitting. The Pink Print is only gonna further demonstrate her star power! Mwhahaha basic b******!
I hope Roman Reloaded goes platinum esp before she releases the pink print…
It’s already platinum. Platinum is based on shipments and she shipped a million last summer.
Everytime you post these Nicki Minaj stuff I open them to see some great chart feat and then I read this rubbish….
