Nicki Minaj & Mariah Carey Make ‘Social 50’ Gains Ahead Of New Albums

Published: Sunday 10th Nov 2013 by David

As a few hours separate the world from her new single ‘The Art of Letting Go‘, Mariah Carey is given fresh reassurance that her relevancy in today’s market is far more potent than her detractors would have many believe.

Why her new album has little reason to tank, if handled correctly?

Good news below…

On Halloween, Mariah shared a snap of her twins dressed in Superman costumes on her personal Instagram page. Then, in what saw the star score an unexpected boost in her social media stock, the image garnered 112,000 likes on the outlet, 350,000 likes on Facebook and earned her 189,000 new Twitter followers.

Why these figures are so important? Well, by way of these figures, the icon has seen her audience literally grow in a matter of days, and secure a renewed interest in both she and her work. Important, as its this interest she’ll no doubt need to ensure  ‘Letting Go’ garners a similar response…even if it’s only a digital top.

For, as Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’ attests to, one’s ability to generate ‘views’ can take one’s material to chart heights that not only tick many a PR box, but encourage one’s audience to pay careful attention to the material’s supporting album- and if given enough reason to- purchase it!

It’s for this reason that we can’t wait to see Carey’s new manager Jermaine Dupri handles the aforementioned LP, and how much of Mariah’s industry muscle is used to win over the general public, birthing an album that stands as her one of her strongest to date on all fronts.

In more social media news, Mariah’s current spot at #24 on Billboard’s Social 50 comes as Nicki Minaj’s digital content sees her rise on spot up from #8, bidding adieu to #9 thanks to the snap she shared on Halloween, here.

As if that controversial pic wasn’t enough to force her higher up the tally, her latest interview with Power 105.1’s ‘The Breakfast Club’ has also gone a long way to support her cause, as its official views now surpass the 35,000 mark in less than a week.

Still haven’t seen that conversation?

        I would like to see where Gaga is 23 years after her career debut

  4. Rosie November 10, 2013

    LOL @ this irrelevant chart. There’s no way Drake is only 49. Dying.
    And not 35,000 views. Even the Tropico teaser got 100K in less than 24 hours.

    • Barb 4 lyfe November 10, 2013

      Nicki Minaj #8

      Duckface del ray #42

      i see why your pressed sis.

      • Rosie November 10, 2013

        I doubt I should care when my fave outsold all of Icki’s albums and rerelases combined with her major label debut.
        Lana remains true to her art while Icki stays trying to cling back to the hip hop community after they dropped her ass after she sold out and famewhoring on Instagram for publicity.

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ November 10, 2013

      Let’s not do it sis. Barb 4 lyfe served the receipts already 😀

      • Rosie November 10, 2013

        Kii Lana was absolutely ABSENT from the internet/social media for two months and didn’t even tweet/upload anything for over two months. Meanwhile Icki was famewhoring all over IG posting nudes and acting like the fake plastic S** s*** she is while all Lana did during the past two months or so was a cover/interview/party with Nylon magazine and a 13 second teaser trailer and is STILL charting.
        Let’s not get into the charts/sales, sis.

    • Common Sense November 10, 2013

      Why you gotta hate on Mimi though? At least she’s certified talent unlike Icki Minaj.

  5. BEYHIVE_MINAJ November 10, 2013

    YASSSS nicki!

    • Barb 4 lyfe November 10, 2013

      Our queen im ready for the 3rd album.

      • BEYHIVE_MINAJ November 10, 2013

        Me too! I’m here for another eminem collab. These two slay the living s*** out of me. I hope she goes back to her pink Friday sound. RR was a mess. But other than that,my body is f****** ready!

      • Onika My Queen Other B****** Take A Seat> November 11, 2013

    • just sayin’ November 10, 2013

      Troll alert ^^^^^^^

  7. BEYHIVE_MINAJ November 10, 2013

    One more thing: Ditch the YMCMB crew nicki. You may not notice it now,but it’s for your own good. Drake ditched them,and he’s turned out better than ever.

  8. GAGARULES November 10, 2013

    LMAO @ THIS IRRELEVANT CHART.

    • Rosie November 10, 2013

      IKR. Icki stans clinging on to this chart because she can’t chart anywhere else. Her next album will flop harder than Electra Heart.

  9. Lucia November 10, 2013

  13. WhatInThe?! November 10, 2013

    The comment section was improving, what happened? Yall are right back to your childish ways.

    • Lucia November 10, 2013

      Because they hadn’t posted Rihanna, Beyonce, Mariah or Gaga stories in a few days lol.

      • WHATINTHE?! November 10, 2013

  14. mromero November 10, 2013

    20 years from now Mariah will still be relevant!!! Thats just what legends like her do.

  15. Purrrrrty November 10, 2013

    Social 50? What the hell is that?

  16. JOHNVIDAL November 10, 2013

    Can´t wait for Mariah and for tomorrow.
    But yeah this “charts” are laughable, the likes Rihanna and Miley Cyrus usually dominate. That says it all.

  17. BOOBIE November 10, 2013

    LMFAO! Look at Mariah pretending to hit those notes in that first picture. *cackles*
