They're the First Ladies of 'American Idol'- however, when they're not guiding this year's contestants to superstardom Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey continue to reach new heights in their own rights…via many a global chart.
Meet us below for more details!
After shifting 1.6 million units worldwide and pushing her overall album sales well over the 5 million unit mark, this week saw Minaj's 'Roman Reloaded' enjoy its latest British sales spike- rising an impressive 55 spots on its albums tally in the last week.
Continuing its lead as the highest selling Rap album in the nation between the 2012/2013 period- the project also saw its lead single 'Starships' spend its 64th week on the Urban Top 40- while latest effort 'High School' holds the #15 spot, extending her run as the only Rapper in UK chart history to have a Urban Top 40 in the nation for every week in the space of twelve months.
Meanwhile, 'Prisoner Of Love' icon Mariah Carey gears up for a fruitful chart week today- now that it has emerged her new single 'Beautiful' is on course to move 100,000 units, helped in part by favorable rotation on US radio and the momentum it garnered upon release.
Set to soar even further once its physical/television promotion kicks on, the song's success also comes courtesy of Grammy winning R&B King Miguel– whose winning numbers with Mariah follow the commercial heights scored by his 'Art Dealer Chic' release 'Adorn', which peaked at #1 on the US R&B/Hip Hop Songs Chart.
In other R&B news, fans of 'Standing On The Sun' singer Beyonce will pleased to learn of her new song 'Rise Up'– recorded in support of new movie 'Epic',while fans of Roc Nation's Elijah Blake can look forward to the official release of his debut single 'XOX' in the coming weeks!
Juicy Fact: In the first month of its release, Minaj's 'Pink Friday' sold a total of 1,035,000 units in the US alone and, now enjoys sales of over 3.8 million units worldwide!

roman reloaded is a horrible album she needs to go the studio and released some new material not this mess shes been releasing lately
Sweetie the Jhoe gworls are taking over TGJ.
It’s not the Jlo stans, their asses got more visitors this month and that’s why the page wouldn’t load last week. I saw Sam say it on twitter.
really tho!
nicki minaj is jsut a cheap copy of lil kim enought i cant wait for her 15 minutes of fame to be over
Iys over dawln
Even Lil Kim now is a cheap copy of herself.
Lol
Roman Reloaded only did 1.6 with a re release meaning the other 3.4 came from the first album smh thats a big difference & i dont like that 🙁 Where did nicki go wrong? Stupid h**? or Starships? Not enough promo?
Babe, I’m sorry to say this, but…
She confused her audiences by doing Pop music, SO OVERTLY.
Her core, Hip-Hop fans were at a disadvantage and everybody knows that pubescents DO NOT purchase albums, therefore – EVERYTHING FAILED.
There was no musical or artistic balance. It all seemed to rushed as opposed to her debut era.
Yeah i agree she turned alot of her fans off last year with not performing at summer jam cussing the fans out and deleting her Twitter releasing loads of pop music but i feel like its still hope for her cause even tho shes not doing as good as before she’s still that number 1 b**** in the rap game no one has yet to knock her off her throne… So hopefully with album number 3 she’ll re gain her hardcore fan base we need that monsta nicki back
She lost me at STUPID H**!
She lost me with the Angie Martinez interview honey
CONGRATULATIONS MARIAH & MIGUEL. 🙂 🙂 🙂
@Samantha… Keep the 267383737383935 ‘likes’ please.

Queen who?
queen ciara. u know the one that dances better than ya faves??? #bodyparty
Ciara is queen of trannys & flops
Ciara’s lead single “Body Party” is Top 40 on the Hot 100 and Top 10 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts.
Ciara is not a flop, she is relevant again.
Ciara is Queen of Flip Flops with Socks.
B**** I SERIOUSLY CANNOT ANYMORE,
NOT FLIP-FLOPS,
BUT B**** IF SHES A FLOP, THEN SO IS YOUR F****** FAV….. LETS NOT FORGET THOS TRAGIC DOCUMENTARY NUMBERS FROM EARLIER THIS WEEK.
-DONT ACT LIKE RIHANNA S*** DONT STANK H**
I DONT SEE HOW YOU CAN STAN FOR A S*** W**** P** LIKE HER ESPECIALLY SEEING THE WAY SHE TREATS HER FANS,
IM GUESSING YALL ARE DONE DRAGGING HER FOR THOSE CANCELLED TOUR DATES AND 3HOUR LATE SHOW ARRIVALS….. IM SORRY BUT THAT B**** COULD HAVE KEPT THOSE TICKETS.. SHE IS NOT WORTH A 3 F****** HOUR WAIT… THE B**** IS STIFF AS BRITNEY’S EXTENSIONS ON STAGE, AND SHE DAMN SHO CANT SING.
WE’LL SEE HOW LONG THOSE CATCHY CLUB ANTHEMS LAST FOR LITTLE MISS R****,
AND NOT THAT CHRIS BROWN DROPPED HER RAGGEDY ASS AGAIN!!!! Kiiiiiiiiii
SLAY ONIKA
H**
Mariah and Miguel bought REAL quality music back to top 40 radio, which is filled with 99% generic garbage.
Justin who? Great job!
Siiiiiing Christina! Listen now to the beautiful and powerful collaboration between Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez and pop diva Christina Aguilera, “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti”. The song is a famous classic in Spanish music released and sung originally by Spain-born singer Miguel Gallardo in 1975. “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti” has been covered throughout all these years by many top Latin stars. Alejandro and Christina’s version will be used as the theme song for the upcoming Televisa televonela “La Tempestad”.
Boy, this is EPIC. Christina’s voice sounds sooooooo good. Alejandro’s a marvellous vocalist and probably he ‘connects’ better with the lyrics ’cause he actually understands what he’s singing (lol), but it’s undeniable the ‘thunder’ is stolen here by Ms Aguilera. Because: 1) Everybody was anticipating this duet for HER ever since the news first broke, 2) She’s more famous than Alejandro, and 3) Everytime we hear this we’ll remember how bad we want Christina to release a new full-length Spanish album ASAP. In any case, I just can’t at the SLAYAGE Aggie does vocally in “Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti”. Ridiculous! I really, really, really hope we get to see Alejandro and Christina singing their cover live at some television show or awards show in a not-so-distant future.
Nicki looks terrifying in that pic but congrats to her and especially Mariah. Great comeback for Mariah so far.
calling that basic achievement a comeback? guuuurl bye
Nicki flopping so hard on the second album awwwwwwwwww.
Moomoo Carey got lucky.
When is Christina gonna chart without being a features artist?

OMG!!!
The “likes” & “dislikes” tornadoe is BACK!!!
Is Nicki paying you too @ TGJ.
*Rolls Eyes*
>>>>>>>
i doubt it hon seeing that SHE’S the one getn thumbed down
Mariah who?
What a random post! lol It doesn´t make sense at all…
About Mariah: yes of course it´s amazing and we are all focusong on her. But remember this is such a big step in the right direction for Miguel. I´ve been loving him for a few months and he had the critical acclaim, but let´s be honest he still didn´t have the commercial appeal (he´s over 300,000 copies sold from his album in the USA but nothing else). This is a superhit in which he is very present and none of his songs did this well to date. Congrats to him. He deserves more and more attention
All these likes tho….
LOL I know
I agree… This song opened a new platform for him. So glad Mariah picked him.
Beautiful sucks ass
F*** MARIAH FAT UGLY BEACHED WHALE ASS CANT STAND HER B**** ASS TBH HEE VOCALS ARE WEAK
Weak compared to who? Rihanna? Ciara?
*Pulls out chair* Have a seat.
J.lo stans are pathetic tbh
J.h** Stan were are YOU????? COME OUT OF HIDING WHORES!!!
Congrats to both ladies, Nicki is successful and what she does and so is Marian, they are both different artists winning in their own way. Black people have a bad tendency of pinning other black artists against each other, I think we should respect them for their various successes. Congratulations to both and good luck.
Co-Sign.
Hypocrite. You do exactly that aswell.
shut up h** icki a bum b**** like yo mammy!!
is there a bug on this site,how the h-ll peeps getting so much thumb up and downs…sam fix this asap.
Nicki switched her style up too quick. She built her core fanbase off of HIP HOP mixtapes & features. Nicki was always fun & quirky, but she was raw at the same time. She went straight pop/techno and the urban community abandoned her. That’s like Beyonce turning into a gangsta rapper after DIL.
She tried to go pop and realized that she could sell a couple million singles, but not an album. I’m no longer checking for her and I probably won’t support her music again….
Nicki lost her hood badge with that pop s***!
Nicki lost her hip hop fans long before PF:RR came out. Her hip hp fans was bringing back PF & exchanging it for other female rapper cds.
These likes and dislikes are fake and phony…
All of a sudden this many people are liking and disliking comments… GIRL BYE!
your name 😐 BRWAAAAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOL!!!!!!!!11
Ok sisses I did some digging. One of the writers follows me on twitter and i asked him what was up with the likes and he said they changed their server because not all the likes were being shown before and that its working now.
So people are really like all these posts for real? Kiiiii.
they just hate icki. 😀
@roman THINKS GIRL!! (tongue curls) thinks for dign for us. :-;
😉
Now since they got the likes and dislikes working i caint wait to go in on an SOLEY PRAISING ickiblog honey!! PUT HER UP SAM DONT B SCUUURRED!!! (sharpens claws in anticipation honey)
The UK URBAN top 40 is not a “reign”.
its a joke honeychile. uk urban charts HAHAHA let that funky B**** move across the pond since they love her over there so much.
lmao girl wait, did y’all see nickiminaj new “clothing line” ..look she went into wendy williams closet and snatch everything she could find ever even the zebra carpet on the floor, lol damm mess.
icki a mess chile
TGJ Why does every post have include Elijah Blake? You’re doing the same force feeding as you did with Rita Ora and Frank Ocean
It isn’t is obvious why they stan for those three?
Work is #20 on the main U.K chart and #4 on the Urban chart 😀
So the girls on this site STAY calling Lana irrelevant yet her album has outsold her entire discography.
And TGJ needs to stop lying. PF did NOT sell anywhere CLOSE to 3.8 million.
Slaynika !!! I cant w/ u haters ! PF:RR is the best sellng rap album of the year in the US n the UK n u guys call it a flop-__-‘ Nicki is SLAYING n theres NOTHING u can do about it !
mariah carey is the queen of #1 hits and nicki the queen of #1 f*** songs!!!!! whats the problem with that?
Pink Friday didn’t sell 3.8 million worldwide.
