It’d be fair to say Universal are rocking ‘Top 40’ radio this week, watching three of their hottest releases become the Most Added cuts on the format!
These, being Nick Jonas‘ ‘Jealous’, Tove Lo’s ‘Habits’ and Nicki Minaj‘s Gold single ‘Anaconda.‘
Now thanks to sales of the latter, the label has seen Minaj set yet another chart record this month, after its ascent to Gold made it the third single from the star to do this year.
What that has to do with anything?
Find out below…
Pills n Potions.
Bang Bang.
Anaconda.
With all three of these singles released between the May and August of 2014, Minaj becomes the first female rapper in chart history to see three singles cross the half a million sales milestone…in less than 12 weeks.
For, after watching ‘Pills n Potions’ skip past the Gold barrier in July, ‘Bang Bang’ in August’ and ‘Anaconda’ in September, Nicki now stands as the first and only femcee cruise past the 500,000 units mark as many times as she has in the time that she has.
Under 12 weeks.
Hopefully indicative of how well her new LP will fare upon release, the last week saw ‘Anaconda’ continue to dart towards the 1 million units sold mark, after moving 130,000 units in seven days.
How much it’s sold in the month since its August 4th unveiling?
630,000 units.

Awesome. People saying she was over need to check these receipts. She can sell deep songs like Pills N Potions and still sell the club bangers like Anaconda and Bang Bang. Very excited for The Pink Print can’t wait to hear the whole body of work.

Truth s**** suck a di ck along with your inbred thot mother
Anaconda selling this much is proof that people’s morals are declining.
The pink print will struggle to go gold even after being discounted 24353526263535 times
DEATH!!!!
Anaconda won’t be a classic. This is the type of stupid trash that dumb teens and early 20-somethings turn their brains off and get into at the moment, then 5 years later they either slam it or downplay that they once liked it.
Of course she’ll be the “First Female Rapper” because the others debuted and peaked waaaaaaay before the digital era.It’s ridiculous to compare single sales then and now.That’s like bragging that Gaga’s Bad Romance outsold Mariah’s Hero,Madonna’s Like A Virgin and Janet’s Rhythm Nation or Bieber’s Baby and Psy’s Gangnam Style outsold Michael’s Billie Jean,Prince’s Purple Rain and Boyz 2 Men’s End Of The Road.Fortunately i don’t see these “records” used by pop stars,it’s only Nicki Minaj who needs the validation
Who mentioned digital. Sales are sales sis, whether online or physical so what are you talking about. It’s not as though the certification barriers have changed since Kim was relevant.
BIITCH HE FREAKN TO SAYN WAT EVER THE FU CK HE WANNA AAY!!!! THOT
That “sales are sales” argument lacks common sense.Anybody with that (common sense) wouldn’t dare compare Digital downloads to physical sales unless they’re deliberately trolling.Today,even streaming counts towards certifications,so it’s just stupid to compare
But what do streams have to do with this? She sold 500,000 units + on every song, that sales figure doesn’t include streams, just purchased sales so please explain what your problem is.
KIii!!!!!! This ho caint GET a num 1 tho kii!!!!
Krim aint getting a #1 album either.
But Kim has 3 platinum album while Nicki has one and probably won’t see anymore kii
Oopps!!
Nicki has 2 platinum ablums, and one gold…The Pink Print which will make 3 platinum albums, which is sad for you because she’ll earn the amount of albums sales it took Lil Kim’s entire career in just a fraction of the time.
Congrats Onika! Im SO SO SO proud of her. She works very hard for what she has ( n doesnt use radio deals like Uggly). This era is my fav era so faf. She’s already broken 6 records this yr. N Im super excited for TPP too. Its gonna be ICONIC
Drink watermelon u n** guzzling cocksucka!
Radio deals have no effect on sales. Iggy had a radio deal by the station’s choice. She didnt pay for it, neither did her team or label. Besides that, Fancy is closing in on 4x platinum and Black Widow just passed 1 million. Radio doesnt force people to buy a song no matter how much its played.
Truth was here!!!
Stfu dumbass killer flea. U should be promoting ur fav’s irrelevant mixtape
Rolls eyes and twist off
But album sales though… Look at #Unaflopagetic #Ultraviolence #YoursTruly #TheNewClassic #MIAMTEC #AKA… You get the picture. Unless you’re Queen Bey, you gonna FLOP!!
All of Nics albums are plat so far. Hopefully TPP will go plat too.
The Lies U Tell
Umm.. PF sold 1.9M in the US n PFRR sold 1M. Im not lying.
Yes hun but in shipments. She has only sold over 900k in actual album sales. Also PF hasn’t sold 1.9 million.
You meant: unless you’re Queen Adele, you gonna flop. Beyoncé can’t and won’t match Adele’s sales. Isn’t it funny Beyoncé doesn’t sell albums when everyone loves her?
THE STRUGGLE!
Dumb biitch, THE QUEEN is in her 16th year in the business. And still going double platinum. Who else is doing that besides JT??? Longevity and Pop Icon, neither don’t apply to Adele. #BYE HOEE
Isn’t it funny that Beyonce can still sell out shows and has gotten critical acclaim for her recent album??? And as if Adele can out do 21’s success!! And obviously in the world of internet leeks and illegal downloads, albums don’t sell well…
Iggy Azalea is our Queen of Hip Hop. Nikki take the backseat, big nose wh*re with your no number 1 bb 100 fails.
But wasn’t isn’t Icki azalea in “WHITE CHICKS” THO????
http://i.imgur.com/GanXjSn.jpg
Iggy queen of what ? With one hit n a flop album ? llmfaooo ure funny.
Black Widow is currently #5 on the Hot 100 and just passed the 1 million mark, something non of Nicki’s current singles have done. Not sure what you mean by one hit. Her album is already one of the top selling hip-hop albums of the year. Most hip-hop albums dont sell over 400k. Examples: MGK, Wiz Khalifia, Tyga, A$AP Rocky, Big Sean, French Montana, etc.
But where is Iggy 100k album at though
If you seriously think Iggy Azalea, the person who just became relevant 6 months ago, is queen of hip-hop…you need to completely re-evaluate everything you believe about artist and music.
Gratz Nicki Minaj keep doing your thing.
Ho
Some ppl hate Nicki so much that they want to discredit her n claim that this white trash who doesnt write her raps n who has a RADIO is the queen. Queen of what exactly ? Her sales are trash AND her “music” is trash. Just stop, yall look stupid.
Not as stupid as you for brining her up in your previous comment for no reason. You seem insecure. Not sure what her owning a radio has to do with anything either.
SO BECAUSE IGGY GOT A NUMBER 1 SHE IS QUEEN! I DONT THINK SO! SHE AINT DO HALF WHAT NICKI DID SO IM SORRY.RIHANNA HAS MORE NUMBER ONES THEN BEYONCE BUT BEYONCE WILL STILL BE QUEEN.ITS ABOUT IMPACT! YAWL HATERZ SIT THERE AND SCT LIKE NICKI DIDNT IMPACT MUSIC SINCE SHE SOLD A 1M JUST FROM A MIXTAPE. GIVE HER GER PROPS SHE IS A LEGEND!SHE IS CREATIVE AND ISNT SCARED TO TAKE RISKS! SHE CREATES MOMENTS AND NOT TO MENTION SHE A MOGAL!! MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE RAPPER OF ALL TIMR GIVE HER HER CREDIT.
I was with u until u said Nicki was a legend kii kii.
DEATH!!
Lmao @legend! Nothing iconic about her besides her fake behind. No number one singles, albums, and a hand full of EBT awards are nothing to drool over.
Nicki is not a legend, nor did she sell a 1 million of a FREE mix tape. Her creativeness doesnt impact much because we’ve seen it done better by Lil Kim and Missy Elliot beforehand. Not to mention her crazy style came after Gaga made weird cool.
You really need to do your search, you’re giving false information. You’re literally sitting here saying a person who rapped 90% about how well she sucks d*** is a legend…WOW. Then had the nerve to say Iggy’s album sold over 400k and Black Widow passed 1 million mark. B**** please…#ICANT
Where is you source, TMZ? Yeah, right..
The shade is Pills N Potions is still and as of now on repeat in my ears. The girls and gays beg for anaconda to be played atleast 3 times when I DJ at parties.
Giiiiiirl I c SO many lies in yo post…ho
Congrats Nicki on the singles success but I fail to realise how singles sales = Greatest of all time. People are so damn delusional these days. Nicki is up there but The Greats are MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn, Lil Kim and Missy. These women stayed in rap and still captured platinum albums. Most of Nicki hits are pop/rap songs and thats why she garnered one platinum album and one shy of platinum.
Honey I would much rather have my favs sell next to nothing but provide me with quality music than to “slay” with a bunch of sales of music I will forget in a week or 2. The people these days are content with quantity without quality.
2 platinum albums (soon 3) and a re-release that still went gold. Anyone who labels Lil Kim as one of the “greatest” can’t be taken seriously. Nicki Minaj has been in the industry for 5 years, a fraction of the time they have, and already has gotten more sales in her career then most of those artist, if not all. She IS the greatest.
This site loves to make up award and accolades for these artists. This is the funniest journalism I’ve ever seen. This should be a comic strip. These little kids on this site eat this bull crisp up too! Smh
Google is your friend boo, look up the receipts it not made up Nicki really has 3 gold singles in the span of 4 months. who else has done this?
What they should be posting is why her insignificant performance was cut from Fashion Rocks last night. Since you’re so in to Google maybe you should google a little word called payola. Nobody is buying that trash she’s spewing. Nobody but her and baby. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=793691154006404&id=105317422843784
You sound like a hater to me. She has so many sales you deny it and refuse to believe it. That’s truly sad.
No one is buying her “trash” but she’s been sitting pretty on iTunes Top 5 singles for the past month, on not one, but 2 songs. Get Real.
Nicki can continue to garner commercial success. The music is still subpar and she’s yet to do anything but trend chase. Doesn’t seem like a classic rap record if going to come from miss Minaj. Totally sub par. Thank god for her fake asssss cause this music she is putting out is like Chinese food takeout: you get a large quantity but you find yourself being hungry and needing something else VERY QUICKLY. Her music doesn’t not stick.
Her music is just fine,”sub par” (only in you opinion) people like her and are purchasing her songs so her formula of putting out music is working. “her music does not stick? yet people continue to buy anaconda and Bang Bang. Anaconda has been selling 100,000+ units a week for the last 4 weeks. but continue to discredit her if you like. her music is selling just fine no matter how much shade you throw at her dauhling…
I consider myself to be a casual fan of Nicki’s but articles like this from a Barb and these comments show insecurity. Considering that we live in a digital age, hip-hop being one of the top selling genres today, and Nicki being a house hold name, 3 gold singles is not really impressive. It’s not necessary to make articles like this praising mediocre success to prove a point. I get that people say Nicki is done for and they are trying to show she isnt with these irrelevant records but it really just shows insecurity. If you truly believed Nicki was still on top, these records wouldnt matter and it wouldnt be necessary to praise it as if she just went diamond. Sales shouldnt matter anyways
This article isn’t from any barb. These articles are from ppl who work and have families to care of. This article is FACTUAL information. If u refuse to believe it that’s your problem.
Well I actually like Nicki but I just don’t see this best female rapper of all time because of single sales. Where’s the album sales?? Where’s the critical acclaim rap lyrics??? Past female rappers like Lauryn and Missy achieved both. They ushered fresh times in rap music. I just don’t see that n Nicki. She needs those acclaim lyrics and platinum albums to be up their with Lauryn and co. Like someone said up top, I guess cause Katy has 3 or 4 songs that have sold over 10 million. They can be compared I Will Always Love You or Candle in The Wind? #GTFOHWTBS
love Lauren and Missy but they’ve both had their turn to slay now Nicki is slaying and breaking records left and right. who really cares about that “acclaim” mess? these are very different times, critics no longer make or break someone, it’s up to the fans that buy the music
LMAO! What kind of basic achievement? I don’t even check for charts like that but this is just sad.
#So sad
OMG.
“Radio deals have no effect on sales.” LOOOOOOOOL. You stupid b****. Radio deals keep the song playing so it reaches as many people as possible as many times as possible. What do you think happens next? People buy the song because they keep hearing on radio and grow to love it.
I can’t believe people are so stupid to think payola has no real affect on how much a song sells when it clearly does.
