She may have found a slow burning hit in the Gold certified ‘Pills N Potions’, but it would seem Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Anaconda‘ is on course to becoming the smash hit she needs to sell new LP ‘The Pink Print.’
For after debuting with sales of 141,000 units, the cut’s supporting video has given it no choice but to rock the ‘Hot 100′ thanks to its controversial nature.
How?
Full story below…
As she dominates US radio with singles ‘Bang Bang’, ‘Flawless‘, ‘Anaconda’s rise on ‘Top 40’ radio this week will see it reach more listeners than it ever has since its August 4th unveiling, making her inescapable on any of the formats her music is currently being targeted at.
This, when combined with its digital sales and the streaming points it’ll pick up from VEVO will guarantee the song another impressive ‘Hot 100’ position in the next chart week, especially when her performances at this week’s VMAs are thrown into the mix.
As it stands, the clip has been streamed 2.3 million times since its VEVO unveiling hours ago, nabbing 102,988 ‘likes’ on the outlet, currently outweighing the 14,111 ‘dislikes’ its nabbed in the same time, no doubt “awarded” to the rapper for its NSFW nature.
Set for release in the final portion of the year, Minaj‘s ‘Pink’ will mark the first studio album to come from the rapper since she split with manager Manny Hailey, whose skills she shared with ‘She’ chanteuse Keyshia Cole up until the January of this year.
And this is why streaming as buys is bull for the charts. Watching something is not a sale. Simple
141k first week isn’t selling babe? Learn to read BEFORE your read b****. The article clearly states that the song is selling but the streams are helping it to slay on the charts.
Hush stink box biitch. Streamin is the ONLY thing that will keep lil kims clone on the charts. Honey she havin as hard a time selling this trash as yo mammy have TRYN to sell her WORE OUT pusssy

But all those #1 one singles y’all use against her wouldn’t be #1 if it wasn’t for streams.
Streams are not meant to represent sales, they are meant to represent popularity.
The video is very hot, I really liked it. It was very s***, I can watch it over and over again. Drake also looked s*** in the video.
‘
I still don’t like the song.
Chiiile i agree
Yasss Queen!

Bish. Childish mf go get a life. All u do is talk about The Queen of Rap instead of focusing on the queen of welfare and side bishes. Kim Sung Wong tried to look like Faith Evans because Biggy didn’t want her and she was insecure af and still is when any new rap bish doin bigger things than come into the game. TADOW no need to reply

Why are you lying? TGJ’s radio tea is never wrong baby. Nicki has four songs on all the major formats so be gone with your lies.
Bye Sam
FLOP
Nobody said anything about the other songs, I’m strictly talking about Anaconda.
And TGJ way over in the UK and me and my own ears and my OWN radio over here in the hip hop capitol of the world.. That’s what you get for relying on a bubble gym pop blog to feed you your information on RAP. We know they are biased towards the ones they like. Again I’m STRICTLY talkin about Anaconda
Sam? Girl is that u??? Biitch they aint playn that shyt in tha A either. Talkn bout smash hit.. WHERE??
“Smash hit? Lol cause of vevo views? I live in NYC the rap capitol of the world and they ain’t playing that s*** on the radio.”
The way the truth is set up though.
No shade girl, but you just made yourself look like a idiot. Grape Juice may be a lot of things but they never lie so please provide receipts that Nicki isn’t slaying radio right now.

The proof is in the actuality. Unlike the little pop tart, generic, bubble gum loving fan you are I actually participate in my music community instead of coming to a biased bubble gum blog to feed me biased facts about alleged rap. I listen to the major rap stations in New York (where I live) everyday and Anaconda is not smashing anything honey.. It’s just the truth. Now if you want to believe a bunch of cunty, gayy men who know nothing about rap and are in another country, literally, thousands of miles away they be my guest. That’s fine. But I said what I said and that’s a fact.! Now go listen to your Kids Bop anthems honey, you’re not wanted here

What a stupid b****! Anaconda IS slaying on T40 and rhythmic as speak so where is she getting her info from?
Oh ok, is it? what position is it in the billboard 100??
#19 girl.
But sis, Anaconda is doing well at Pop and Urban. I hate to shade you but are you sure you even have a radio?
lol lmao. ctfu.
Nobody checking for that generic s*** lol… These f*** believe anything tgj posts… Song is GARBAGE, everybody only wants to see the controversial video, smart move nicki lol
Yea I live in nyc too and they arent playing hardly no NY artist. I went to the south and guess what NYC playing the same trash as them. NYC radio has changed thats why NYC has no presence in rap no more. They need to get rid of those old ass dj’s. Time to bring it back to the mecca. At least Nicki, a rap superstar was birth here.
POP star…u ho
The fact that the song is actually selling is what I care about. Streams help but the song is ACTUALLY moving units which is why I know some of these girls are streamed press. #OnTheVerge
FLOPPPPPPP
But it’s not flopping though. The song is trash but it’s slaying.
You said the same about puke and plastic f***
“Puke and Plastic” is almost Gold dear.
Biitch u aint no kim fan u funkn biitch. This song suck m***** balls…and so do u…ho
truth……….you sound very mad babe. lol Iggy’s ass is fake too incase your head was stuck to far up her ass to know.
These b****** are determined to say Nicki is flopping when the FACTS say otherwise.
What facts satan? This shyt trash…like yo pusssy u biitch
OMG! Not these liars saying Conda isn’t shutting s*** down on radio. When will you learn that TGJ’s radio info is never wrong? When?! I need one of these h*** who keep saying radio aren’t using her to show me PROOF of this. Otherwise they can shut their dutty stinkin mouths.
S*** your sissy ass up…
I ain’t gonna lie this video is kind of the most sexxiest video since 2010. And it is actually different than the other videos she realesed. It’s fun, it’s sexxy and it’s hot. And the radio are already playing it. So yeah good luck Nic.
Iggy who? Remy where? Azealia what? Lil’ Kim why?
Uncalled for sis. Nicki slays with or without competition so let’s keep the peace.
You’re right! I’m just excited for the Queen of Hip-Hop.
I am CRYING at the liars in this thread. Please, if you wanna tell a lie tell one you know the girls can’t research and expose you for. How can you say that radio isn’t using Anaconda when it’s BEEN added on top 40 and urban? I really wanna know. How did you come to that conclusion? Cos last I checked TGJ and HDD are never wrong about radio adds. So come on b****? TELL ME why you lied.
Ok being added and actually being SPUN are two different things. Of course it will be added, it’s Nicki Minaj.. But in order for it to keep getting spins it has to be in demand, which it isn’t. Know the difference. Ima need for you to get your knowledge together and stop using TGJ as your bible honey..
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. LOOOOOOOOOOL. LOOOOOOOOOL.
It IS being spun you stupid h**. I can’t even deal right now.
Haters hate because they don’t know what it’s like to be great like Onika.
The last thing a b**** should do is come for TGJ when it comes to sales and radio news. #NoLiesHaveEverBeenTold
Sam, quick fact check. Pills N Potions sales went over the 500K mark last week! Meaning its Gold not “almost gold”. It’s already gold! They never have their fact right on here anymore, shame. Well, to the golden grenade I go! http://www.thegoldengrenade.com
Nobody is going to visit your s***** site b****. F*** outta here!
What Uggly gonna do? lol
Clearly tgj is posting u set multiple usernames about this “radio hit” lol. Ok, we get it
Or not. Why is it hard to believe that people who use a site would actually LIKE the site they use.
Can we pour a glass to the poor b**** who tried to lie and was scalped today?
I live for the video , no shade , song is kinda childish for a 32 year old woman. I understand why she’s doing it doe.
This video slays me ….. Ghetto chic
How is it childish? Its very grown and s***? for adults
I have to agree with @ realest . I live in NYC (work) and ATL ( main home) and I don’t hear it on the radio in either city.
No shade towards anybody just stating facts
@Richie…Lol,but when i say the same thing my comments get deleted
You know how Sam is @ times lol
Funny because I just left Atlanta and I live in NYC. NYC plays the same s*** atlanta plays. Its sad. I heard TI and young thug so much I know payola had to be going on on their trashy v103 station when they played music with Tiggas wack ass and those ancient djs. That station is garbage.
107.9 is better. Nyc needs newer djs too that rep the city especially hot 97They stuck on kissing the souths and wests ass. They don’t even show love to the up and commers here. They might play it later when everybody else starts spinning because it is gaining spins on all formats. But thats weak. they supposed to lead the way. Urban NYC radio has fallen off.
Y’all sayin you ain’t heard it in radio are straight lying. I’m from LV and they play this all the damn time on the radio.
Since the video been out it rose 3 spots on Rythmic Radio.TGJ stated that it’s rise on Top 40 this week will help it slay. Urban and Rythmic are already playing it. But I don’t really listen to radio so IDC. I did here Flawless on Hot 97 last week. And Bang Bang is always being played on Z100. So she’s dominating every format right now.
Yea 107.9 in atlanta plays flawless remix and no flex zone remix. V103 dont really show love to Nicki because they stuck on payola for those whining artist they got constantly spinning. Her fans gotta call in that one to get it played. All of this s*** is connected. Its handled by the same hand.

That actually doesn’t make sense. Next time, make sure you post something that does. Thank you!
next time eat a d*** b****
the song is tight and love the video,she doing nicki minaj doing her thing.
She had to get people talking cause the song sucks ass. This cement block booty, crooked nose, skin 2 toned, weave wearing b****. Her music is trash, her delivery is trash. Lyrics are elementary at best. Her only stans are fàgs and hood rats.
and what b****? she’s still winning on all fronts. What are you accomplishing bum?
Winning with them trash ass pop songs, bish please. Your fave is nothing but a sell out plastic ho, that had to go the pop route and use gimmicks to blow up. Now she’s clapping her cement àss for views. Gtfo, pressed stan.
That “trash” is turning into gold for Nicki it’s the song and video of the year and you’ll just have to deal with it bew bew.
That whole write up sounded hood rattish, gay and elementary. step ya s*** up, bum
Winning!
The Video is well over 5,000,000 views. Slay!
No bew bew its over 6 million. The video is viral! That’s a motherfucking slayage.
Dang its now 7 millli. Expect it to head to the top 10 next week.
I just watched this video and my mouth was on the floor and I laughed uncomfortably the whole time. I’m embarrassed that nicki has had to resort to this. It’s obvious coming off PnP that she needed to do something drastic but if this is what music has come to. Then count me out. I’ve never really been a fan of her music but I’ve always respected her hustle but this? No ma’am. This just screams desperation. And the song still is not that good. I’m sorry. Y’all are only talkin about how nicki looks in the video. Not how good the song is. Facts.
The song and video are great and people actually like it or it wouldn’t be selling. you tried tho
Its like old school hip hop s***. Something you might not understand if you are not a rap enthusiast. I been listening to rap, studying it since I was like three. I have brothers and friends that rap and ghost write, I ghost write. My uncles and dad are djs.
Expect any minute for Lil Kim to release another diss track.
Iggy had one shot to go up against Nicki & that was to come out with better Pop songs & videos. And Iggy did that with Fancy, It was a Amazing song with the coolest video but were she drooped the ball was with the Black Widow Video, the beginning was everything with the snow but it got boring in the middle & there was no big finish at the end & Her & Rita didn’t even lip the words in the video? WTF To the GP it was a let down, just go look at the views but for Nicki this was the perfect time to let out a monster of a video & like I said be4 ( its Sexist as all hell) but its hot & new & colorful & now that Nicki’s in the lead its going to be really hard for Iggy to come back from this. But who ever does the better performance Sunday night can come out on top because the VMA’S is know for making Artist in to Maga Super Stars.
Black Widow is #8 on Billboard Hot 100 today, she’s good…Iggy needed a fun, but more artistic and serious video to be seen in a more “artist” light for Grammy consideration…she recently visited Grammy HQ to learn more about it…I think she accomplished that with Black Widow 😉 If she had kept it pure pop and fun, she may have lost the “artist” credit…Nicki can take more risks because she’s an established artist. It’s all about juggling what you need, regardless of GP…Iggy has three songs in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 this week that show different sides of her…I’m sure Nicki was thinking the same for PNP, Bang Bang and Anaconda…just my 2 cents 😉
20,000,000 million views holy s***
Disturbing video from a ghetto darkskin HOODRAT flop.I truly hope she realizes her ghetto s*** antics are no match for IGGY
