Congratulations are in order for Hip Hop superstar Nicki Minaj and her new LP ‘The Pinkprint.’
For, after learning the project had exceeded expectations by shifting 201,000 units in its release week, this evening has seen more fuel added to her commercial fire.
Good news below…
When streaming figures secured by the album are thrown into its chart mix, Minaj’s ‘The Pinkprint’ is set to impact the ‘Billboard 200’ at #2 at 251,000 mark.
With this figure, the rapper sees the album welcome the highest first week figures for a female rap album since…well…herself.
Confused?
One look at the first week figures pulled in her by second studio album should rectify that, seeing as it moved 253,000 units when it touched down in the April of 2013, and helped make Minaj the first female rapper to see each and every one of her albums open with over 200,000 units.
#NowPlaying: Elijah Blake – ‘Black Whisky.’
I just bought ‘Rebel Heart’ by Madonna. Nicki’s new effort is just not there. Sorry…
Agree, Madonna’s new songs are good and fresh. I have pre-ordered the album on iTunes. Nicki’s part in ‘B**** I’m Madonna’ is cool. However, Nicki..when ti comes to her own album..oh well b*tch should become Madonna’s backup singer permanently.
🙁
LOL RIGHT ABOUT NOW MANDINOSAUR IS PLAYING BACKUP TO NICKI, THAT’S WHY SHE NEEDED HER TO BE ON HER ALBUM AGAIN. YOU DON’T SEE NICKI PUTTING THAT FOSSIL ON HER ALBUM DO YOU LOL
Every nicki Stan that’s always commenting or downing everyone else post a PICTURE OF UR ALBUM WITH THE RECIEPT!!!!! ????? Crickets??? The b*€*€ES that be TGJ ARE BROKE AS HELL …..NEXT!!
As a long time Madonna fan, I have to admit (sadly), that there is absolutely nothing remotely fresh about these 6 songs.
I enjoy “Living For Love.” “Ghosttown” is pretty good but “Miles Away,” from one of her bad albums, is better than this song. “Illuminati” is kinda interesting.
The other 3. Keep them.
BTW, Nicki’s verse on “B****, I’m Madonna” is the highlight of the song.
Oh well. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I’m still excited about hearing the album.
Who cares about Flopnika’s fake sales? She bought half of those copies because nobody is checking for this stink pusssy ho anymore. I love how this site loves to talk about Flopnika’s first week sales, because talking about her total sales is far too depressing. Flopnika’s last album still hasn’t sold platinum. This is the b**** that goes around calling herself the highest selling female rapper of all time. Lil’ Kim sold less with her 3rd album in the first week, but the Queen of Rap has LONGEVITY and went platinum IN SALES within a few weeks. Flopnika’s decline next week will be a real KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Lil’ Kim, Missy, and Eve have OUTSOLD stink pusssy Flopnika. First week sales may lie, but TOTAL ALBUMS SOLD spill that real TEA!
You sucking d***
Aww well enjoy Btch I’m Madonna xo
Love Nicki’s rapping part in “B*tch I’m Madonna”.
Nicki slays the song. Period.
LOL YOU CAN KEEP REBEL FLOP. THAT SHYT IS GONNA FLOP HARDER THAN REFLOPIFIED DID LOL.
It won’t go down as tragic as Mariah’s Elusive tho… 🙂
Highest Selling Re Release Every Give Them They D*** Back
Stick to POP music, thank u.
BRWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOL THAT BIITCH FAKED HER NUMBERS LOLOL KII!! THIS HO A FLOP!! SHE BOUGHT HER OWN SHYT!! IM ON THE DLOOR CRYN HONEY LOLOLOL!!!
This chart as far as IM CONCERNED ISNT LEGIT anymore! ITS NOT ABOUT WHO BOUGHT THE RECORD ITS ABOUT WHO DOWNLOADED ENOUGH SONGS THAT COUNT AAS A PURCHASED REcord! Corny as hell lol HER Real sales “no shade” is 75,000-100,000 I BET BUT HEY IF HER DELUSIONAL FANS LIKE THE HYPED NEW BILLBOARD CHARTS THAN I LOVE IT
Her real sales r 201k. Stop spreading lies
“You a stupid h**”
same ol’…same ol’… here come Ciara V2.0
u mad or nah?
and ur QUEEN did a favor for the QUEEN & rapped her whole verse
she beta stan! just like ur fave for ciara 🙂
Kiii
Iggy will NEVER.
We need to start sending out the rescue boats because, very soon, they are going to start jumping ship.
They can’t cling to album sales- The New Classic 429,000
The Pinkprint 251,00 (in 9 days)
Acclaim- BWET- 78
The Pinkprint -71
The New Classic – 56
Talent- Marginal
She’s just embarking on her first tour. The Igloos can’t use this yet.
Singles- this is what she has (and the pop artists overshadow her on all of the songs they appear on–a pity really).
So if the only thing you have to offer is single sales then, by default, aren’t you Flo Rida, Pitbull, and Jason Derulo? No shade to them because they never claimed to be the next best things in hip hop and Jason knows he’s not in line for the Pop n B crown–props to them for being honest with themselves. They make disposable music, make a lot of money at it, and embrace it. Bravo.
Iggy, however, wanted to be something else didn’t she? Poor dat. Well, at least you have money and single sales *Kayne shrug*
Then, to top it all off, to know she will never write–oops, sorry, she does’t write–I meant recite a song as good as “Ice Princess (that A B actually wrote)” has to suck for the most ridiculous fan base in music. I mean, NEVER will she match “Ice Princess.”
Grab your life jackets.
It’s, indeed, a pickle for those who will soon melt.
Besides Nicki herself, this is the highest first week sales from a female rapper since Missy in 2002. SLAY!!!
How many major label female rappers have there been since Missy with the industry backing of Nicki?
@Hahaha … Ummm there have been MANY major label female rappers to release albums since 2002… such as Missy Elliott (2002, 2003, 2005) Trina (2002, 2005, 2008, 2010), Eve (2002, 2013), Fergie (2006), Iggy Azalea (2013, 2014), Azealia Banks (2014), Lil Kim (2003, 2005) , Remy Ma (2005, 2007, 2008, 2014), MIA (2005, 2007, 2010, 2013), Lil Mama (2008). And they were ALL largely marketed in the music business. So SIT.
Yasss!!!! Eat a d*** haters!
Fu ck u biitch
Be Pissed. Be mad. Be Pressed B******!
Nicki Wins Again b****! LMFAO
Bye.
🙁 🙂 😀 😆
SOLD 201K FIRST WEEK
THE REST IS WITH STREAMS
HAHAHAHAH YA’LL CAN ACT LIKE THIS IS GREAT IF YOU WANT TOO. THE ALBUM HAS BEEN PROMOTED FOR YEARS. THIS IS A HUGE FLOP
…says the king of f aggot s…bye! 😀
Stay mad hater.
Streaming now matters unless u are IGGY “I can only sell 13,000” FLOP.
Why can’t u just congratulate the QUEEN OF RAP.
A new form of Payola.
You wish lol
Where are all the people who dragged her last week when PREDICTIONS came out??? SEETHE B*TCHES SEETHE!!!
QUEEEENNN! “They said I couldn’t but I did it tho, still got that hourglass figure h***
The decline…is happenin’ 🙁
The decline of being robbed from tens of thousands of sales/streams due to early releases in Aus/Europe, problems with physical copies etc…? Really? The only decline is Mooriah’s vocal ability 🙂
Girl let her have those sales and keep it cute honey we remember we have CHRISTMAS ALBUM that will sell more album than Ud ever see so travel in a different direction
ONLY female rapper with three albums to sell over 200,000 first week. THE QUEEN!!!
Streaming is the best thing that couldve happened for Taylor Swift and Nicki. Otherwise, minus half of what they’re selling and you’ll see they’re just moderate sales.
You’re not very good at math are you?
Idk Shitlor’s state, nor do I care but Nicki still sold 200K+ so…
Ill wait for Billboard figures, however, it still will drop off and struggle for gold mark the Great Lacefronces word
B****, I’ve been marking your words for a while and you have yet to be right about s***! Best Bye h**! 😆
Congrats Onika !!! LMAOO Kim n Uggly fans r seethin. Nic stay winning n this era reminds me of the Pink Friday era: Great music, good vibe. SLAYYYY
Yall need to stop praying for Nic’s downfall. TPP is her best album n I believe it’ll have longevity, ppl are loving it n it will go plat faster than PFRR did. I wanna know the WW sales tho.
Says the glory hole bottom.
What happened to I’m Mariah..The Elusive Menopause???
the real question should be…who cares???
😀
*Looks at your multiple comments on this article…* uh you?
Well you’re here aren’t you…
She sold out 5 stadium shows in China and 15 arena/stadium shows around Asia and Australia. When will Onika?
Lol @the onigger fans coming out of hiding after getting dragged last week
Pink Flop will struggle just like Roman Floploaded, Oniggers album have no longevity , facts!
No one went into hiding, you flop stans cant say much so we left you to it, we don’t doubt our fave. And here you go… Over 200K+… Sales alone then streaming too 🙂
stop playin you hos went straight up ghost last week ….ho sit down!!!
Wow, I’d rather come here and stan than live a miserable existence coming solely to argue with NO logic & hate sweetheart
Just kill yourself already. Based on your comments your life must be pure shitt. I troll successful black women but it still doesn’t change my miserable existence.
You should also kill yourself l mean like who is they in their right mind comes on here day after day to stan? for somebody who don’t give a nada whether you live or not i hope beyonce and nicki are sending you some checks through the mail at least a fruit basket for dedicating your time and efforts on “dragging on their behalf” get a life dude. you stans are pathetic.
I rather be a fan than a pathetic hateful piece of crap. Apparently you’re here as well if you’re reading my comments. The jokes write themselves . Lol
Yawn, rehashing out tired play out lines bye!
@eat it, but you’re still here. Like a moth to a flame. Go ahead and switch profile names and seethe. Lol
LOL AWW, U MAD CUZ WHITE CRACKER PRIVILEGE STILL COULDN’T GET UGGLY THESE KIND OF SALES? LOL
Awww so you were checking for us? How sweet! Corny AF! EAT THIS PU$$YY!
Congrats Nicki! Doing BIG things i see! I can now put Nicki up there with Missy and Kim, as the only female rappers with 3 or more platnuim albums. Nicki is The Current Queen!
Its gonna decrease the next weeks she will scan gold & that’s it.
Is this supposed to impress me David??? I can’t at you and these power bottoms celebrating streams. Sale’s are what I’m into and Nicki flopped big time when it comes to that. Even with streams she can’t go number 1. The Barbz may delude themselves all they want but this is a joke. I’m sleep tho.
You just said only sales matter then brought up chart positions? Chart positions are relative tho dummy so make ya mind up ugly
@nickiisqueen I brought chart positions because this is what this post is about. This is nothing to celebrate about. If the 50 000 + was the number of people who purchased her album. Then I would congratulate her but this is a joke and you don’t see it. Celebrating streams = celebrating basicness.
@LOL you better hop into bed with the Barbz since GaGa flopped with 2 back to back albums. I won’t even entertain your disloyal ass. 1st Rih, now Nicki. Keep bandwagoning LOL
This post is about Queen’s first week sales, not necessarily its position. On one site alone it was downloaded over 30K times last time I checked, if it didn’t get released early in certain countries there would be no ‘leak’ of sorts and would’ve been more sales but whatever. Broke bishes & haters all hit up them illegal links. And despite all the problems, when this is the second biggest selling hip-hop first week this year, sometimes congratulate.
LOL AWW, SOMEBODY’S B*** IS HURTING TODAY LOL
Deluding would be selling 11k and then being called the queen of hip hop. Kii
LOL KEEP CHOKING ON YOUR HATRED, BYTCH. BRINGING UP GAGA DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT YOU. ARE. PRESSED. LOL CONTINUE SEETHING H0 LOL
@BYEDUMBLICIA GO BACK TO MATH CLASS U STUPID BYTCH. NICKI SOLD 200K WITHOUT STREAMING, NOBODY IS CELEBRATING STREAMS, U DUMB BYTCH. SO KEEP CHOKING H0 LOL
2 back to back novel’s dedicated to me and yet I’m pressed. I’m simply telling it like it is. I said it before and I’ll say it again. Celebrating streams is a joke. Sale’s talk and Nicki doing 201k is a bigger joke with the promo she had.
LOL YOUR RESPONSES SCREAM HOW PRESSED YOU ARE, LITTLE BOY. STAY MAD WHILE NICKI CLOCKS ONE OF THE HIGHEST FIRST WEEK SALES OF THE YEAR. YES, SALES, BYTCH, NOT STREAMS. PROCEED WITH YOUR REACHING LOL.
Mariah whooooo???? 😆
What happened to I’m Mariah..The Elusive Menopause???
😀
This was a great album. Congrats nicki
Mariah’s Lambs are pretending to go holiday this week…. hehehee
Mimi who??? LOL
Taylor swift sells 376,000 in her 8th week, gosh taylor this era is staying everyone!!
She most certainly is:).
Why am I so happy that T-Swizzle is #1? 😉 BECAUSE….lol 😉
Taylor being #1 doesnt stop uggly from flopping HARD with a lot of promo
She had #2 song Anaconda(caused controversy), #3 Song Bang Bang, performed in every mainstream award show. Talk shows etc you name it. I didn’t expect any number below 300K. Beyonce’s 4 was leaked over a month, I remember people tweeting links about it & had a very poor Single still debuted with 310K sales, JCole had no promo debuted 300K. Nicki should be doing massive numbers she’s a pop rapper, pop radio plays her music & Urban does too, she performs @ Mainstream Pop awards she has no excuse. I hope she has longetivity so that she can atleast scan gold! 201K is good but I expected more after the album was promoted for 2 years.
Spin, Spin, spin your anger on, dear. Fact remains that the pink print posted one of the highest first week sales of the year, and the highest first week sales for a female rapper since missy elliott.
Imma go thru your post and correct you because the BS actually hurts my eyes. A #2 song released in August, it is now the end of December, it was FOUR months ago. Bang Bang has been performed publically a lot yes, with Nicki, not that many times. A couple talk shows/interviews, nothing out of the norm for album promo. Beyonce is a living legend, also not a Hip-Hop artist so really can only be compared to your fave, not mine. J. Cole has had promo, don’t be silly, he’s had social media BUZZING! People have unjustified hate for/issues with Nicki so they won’t buy her music. She’s not a pop rapper, pop radio don’t play her music that much as she’s not pop and again any award shows were months ago. It wasn’t necessarily promoted for two years, yes there was talk but that’s what happens. Real promo was this year. There’s been so many issues with buying physical copies also so yeah the sales could’ve/would’ve been somewhat higher I guess but at the same time I’m not disappointed in the slightest. 2nd highest first-week Hip-Hop sales… And by a female? I’m happy
Congrats….take that Lambs!!!
Mariah on her 3rd album was doing numbers that your fave only dreams about.
Mariah..is struggling for even a Gold status. LOL Sit…retire. Go to hell. Nobody wants her.
Yeah that’s because her old a$$ released that album when there was no such thing as the internet
Nic competes with herself. She created the VEVO record with Stupid H** then broke the record with the Anaconda video. The last SOLO plat hit by a female rapper before Anaconda was Va Va Voom n the last female rap album that sold as much as TPP first week was PFRR.
What a long way we’ve come when Youtube and VEVO are considered achievements lol…
Congrats Nicki for ruining the holidays for your haters and the iggy & lil Kim stans lol. She stayed focused and on her grind, and it paid off. Continue seething folks lol.
Creating a troll account dragging mariah because I’ve stated the truth & you can’t face it? #ByeFelicia.
This album doesn’t have longetivity. Be grateful for that #2 spot yall.
How the f***…??
Longevity is something that is evaluated in retrospect.
This suspect that this album will endure longer than Mariah’s vocal cords though…
I can’t….poor child don’t what he/she/its talking about. You can’t predict whether or not something has longevity you moron. Nicki however has shown that she has longevity and a catalog of hits and albums that last on the charts. So what are you saying? Absolutely nothing!
@nickiisqueen I brought chart positions because this is what this post is about. This is nothing to celebrate about. If the 50 000 + was the number of people who purchased her album. Then I would congratulate her but this is a joke and you don’t see it. Celebrating streams = celebrating basicness.
@LOL you better hop into bed with the Barbz since GaGa flopped with 2 back to back albums. I won’t even entertain your disloyal ass. 1st Rih, now Nicki. Keep bandwagoning LOL
LOL DOES IT HURT REAL BAD, DEEP DOWN INSIDE? I CAN TELL IT DOES LOL
Not all sweety but you stalking my comments or bandwagoning is something else
I suggest you look into that. Now that SS GAGA is sinking ship, you’re suddenly a Barb??? And I’m not even mad, I bought the pink print for my gay friend (he’s a big Barb) but I’m not delusional. These numbers are a joke and to add streaming to make it look like she’s winning is embarrassing.
You are a F**CKING IDIOT! STREAMING is a HUGE part of the music industry now. Very few amounts of people purchase albums anymore unless they are FORCED to (like Slaylor Swift kind of did by not allowing her album to be streamed ANYWHERE and like Beyonce did when she released her album on iTunes without notice). You’re talking out of your a***! Do some research on the state of the music industry…ESPECIALLY in the rap business.
someone should tell Mariah.
I nominate her vocal coach…
How many albums did Mariah’s 3rd album sell again? And that was without stream “sales” LOL.
Whew! You haters are Pissed huh?!!
You’ve been on yo Ashy ass knees all year praying that Nicki fails.
Pinkprint came through like a bolt of lightning and f***** up your whole week b****, DAMN! LMFAO
*listens to “Win Again”* 🙁 🙂 😀 😆
Congratulate and move on.
why do you’ll stay hating really?
I visit this site everyday and I only read comments…it’s always the same people arguing about the same people, saying you the same thing
all the “kiiii”, “have a seat” “seeth” and the ever alarming profanity most from truth
every day it’s the same thing, what you’ll do not realize is, its okay to love some, but don’t forget yourself while loving your fave, you are on a blog “dragging” while the person you’re insulting, is throwing cash to the pigeons, and bank balance growing
why talk about sucking you p**** and all that crap, what kind of a woman does that??
Congratulations Nicki. 200K for a female rapper is an amazing feat in any climate. I don’t get all this hatred and anger, but then again I do.
She did 100k more then predicted so go Nicki can’t hate on that. But Taylor’s sales omg what’s really going on are people really that into her?
lol right taylor fabs probably bought like 10 or more copies since it released
LOL EVERYBODY JUST MAD CUZ THE WHITE H0 WILL NEVER SEE THESE KIND OF NUMBERS LOL.
Where’s the source for these numbers I’ll believe it when a credible source says so
Death by “I brought the pink print for my gay friend” The MF Shaaaaaaaaade. I can’t lol
Our predictions came true then! Do we get a copy of Pinkprint then? 😉
J Cole – 355k sales, 6k streams = 361k
Nicki – 201k sales, 50k streams = 251k
I know which is more impressive, with no promo.
U forgot to add Iggy Flop’s numbers …. Here u go…
IGGY – 11,000 SALES, STREAMS = 13,000 SALES
Because Iggy was brought up where exactly? Take your deflecting ass elsewhere, goofy.
No promo? Major Performance, going to the protests or whatever getting ‘Black Twitter’ buzzing, publically going to fans to sign their albums and hang out etc isn’t promo? Unconventional yes, but every somewhat urban blog, Twitter etc was talking about him so he had promo. He had social media eating out the palm of his hand. Him being male would immediately increase em too
OMG @ Taylor’s #s. WTFF IDGI . 8th week? Still #1 selling over 300k ? Seldom as fvck!!
WELL, WELL, WELL!
And the news just keeps getting better and better.
The fume inclined, the pressed, and the delusional are about to be out in full force. LOL!
As Iggy’s ex-husband Jefe Wine asked, “Where them haters at, where them haters at, where them hater at?”
* plays ‘Shanghai’ *
Those numbers still isn’t great considering the amount of promo she put in. J Cole did less than 5% of her prom and outsold her by a lot.
That other 50k increase in sales is probably from her whoring herself getting streams for the Anocanda video.
BIIIITCH SHUT THE FUUCK UP ALREADY YOU HATING A$$ THOT
J Cole is a man, has huge social media promo and less than 5% of her criticism and hate. Anaconda is really not a big problem but that’s another issue. And no it was from Spotify mainly… idiot
Black rappers are winning but who does Billboard have on their front page every single day…. IGGY FLOP… then they wonder why people think the mainstream media is racist.
CONGRATS TO NICKI MINAJ AND J COLE.
LMFAOOOO YAAAAAASSSSS THE NUMBERS KEEP RISING NICKI SHOW THESE HATERS THAT YOU AINT TO BE MESSED WITH! I’M SO PROUD OF YOU ONIKA!
Well those of u trashing Nick I, lets get the FACT straight!! When was the last time a female rapper accomplished such feat? Haters always gonna hate!!
Lol, the actual sales are the most relevant.. MC’s sales are astronomical. Wether she released her albums earlier on or not, she still has huge selling albums lol, even after she debuted, and she didn’t need a gazillion features & singles to do it.. No one forces people to buy your album. They do so because they are interested in doing so.. Leave the bs excuses on the side.. All of MC’s albums are certified even her lesser selling ones, besides one. So sit down with that crap..
Not bad at all, but its still a flop.
….Flopnika it is!!!!!!!!
Haha why are you talking? Don’t even try and act like your faves first 5 out of 7 flops didn’t happen b****$
U contradicted urself in the same sentence.
Congratz to Nicki i love and respect her, keep doing your thing sista and like i said before,this is a great album in my opinion her best one yet.
Barbz doing the most up in here lol…I ain’t scurrrred of ya’ll, but congratz to #2 😉 She did more than predicted, but the decline is real…Happy Holidays! (here comes the Iggy jokes)
Let’s not talk about decline or sales whatsoever when you stan for Igloo, really girl, let’s not
TPP sold as much as PFRR in its first so what decline r u talking about ? The REAL decline is selling 50k first week in April n then 30k in November. N yess @ #2. Uggly could never, even with her radio deal n chart hungry music. #Flopggy.
First and foremost as a fan of Iggy,her album is near gold status.And from the numbers that I got from the “track equivalent album”sales,it is already platinum.To me as a fan of music for many,many,years.Nikki’s pinkprint is a flop,compared to all the promotion she got and with the releasing of five singles already.Streaming has definitely helped her here.I would be highly surprised if it even goes platinum.I know one thing for sure is that it won’t even come close to outselling my girls salt n pepa’s “very necessary”album,which sold 5million in the united states and another 2million worldwide.Bringing it’s total to 7million.The greatest selling female rappers of all time.And they did it without all the sleaziness and streamingness that is helping nikki’s career.If you guessed it already.You are correct.I don’t like nikki.I never have.She is a disgrace to women in hip hop and hip hop in general.In fact,I don’t even consider her music hip hop.Iggy’s singles have already out sold anything nikki has put out from the whack pinkprint.Just check the sales of “fancy and “black widow”.Enough said.
Wait, did you just bring the legends Salt-n-Pepa, as a Iggy fan, into a discussion about “sleaziness” ?
Ha, the jokes write themselves. Did Iggy produce a classy version of “WorK” that none of us saw? Please do enlighten us.
Facts: She’s a terrible artist (I used that term very loosely) who will be forgotten in the annuals of hip hop. Oops, sorry. She, called herself “pop rap” yesterday. The pop rappers Gwen and Fergie will be remembered. Iggy will not. Yes, she’s no different from Gwen and Fergie except the other two actually have talent.
You are so ignorant and pressed, what is your problem? Anaconda really isn’t that bad and since you’re talking bout Salt N Pepa let’s not forget about Push It, which is like their biggest hit? Idk their stats nor care so whatever. Streamingness? Wow @ that ‘word’ for a start and secondly, streaming is only really helping out now, not too majorly before. As we’re talking about streaming, let’s not ignore thats part of the reason Iggy’s singles are successful, that and paid radio play. Fancy & BW are both basic pop trash anyway.
Now the disgrace comment, how dare you? How fcking dare you? Who are you to unjustly call anyone a disgrace? I hate Iggy but never called her a disgrace, that’s kinda too far. If anyone’s a disgrace to hip-hop it’s certainly not Nicki. It would be the Australian culture vulture who doesn’t even write her lyrics. Everything about her goes against Hip-Hop! You’re probably an old, bitter, overweight, ashy, bald, lonely, single, unloved female. If you loved yourself and had someone who loved you, maybe you wouldn’t be so bitter toward a beautiful, successful, talented woman. As a fan of Hip-Hop like you said, shouldn’t you be happy that a female is doing so well, without Nicki none of these girls would be here now. So Weirdo, go away. xo
Nope. “The New Classic” isn’t platinum–sorry.
And did you just really go back to 1993 in order to discredit Nicki’s accomplishments.
It’s being said that Iggy has THE worst fan base and it’s definitely showing.
Oh yeah, and this– The New Classic 56
The Pinkprint 71
Dont compare iggys POP features, that are supported by a clear channel deal to Nic’s HIP HOP singles. Why is Only outcharting n outselling Beg For Hits ? 😉
WHAT?!
Baaaabbby that Lipton is rich! LMAO!
Iggy is going to campaign to have the person who wrote that Forbes article fired (after they paid for it to be written in the first place).
OOPS!
Streams lol…
Still 200K+ without streams lol…
When will Igloo?
All you haters in here must be dyslexic. Nicki did 200K straight SALES and 50K in streaming. In other words, in this case streams isn’t even an issue. You do all know that 200 is more than 50, right?
Right now, Nicki is somewhere celebrating, and y’all are here being mad. Who’s winning here?
fu*k them up Queen Onkia!
U BARBS R RETARDED…HER LABEL INVESTED OVER $3,000,00 on her…that’s y universal studios is calling this album a flop because anything under 400k for an artist like Nicki IS A FLOP BIG TIME that’s y she’s being blasted on twitter by universal she owes them a lot of money now 200k is good for mediocre artists but Nicki is an established artist n she has 200k that’s horrible she’sbeen promoting since 2012 they gonna have to re release it…if Nicki isn’t gold by the end of the year she’s done she’s 32…she can’t rap for another 5yrs And FYI KIM HAS 2 DOUBLE PLATONIM ALBUMS AND ONE PLATINUM NICKI HAS ONE PLATINUM and she’s 5yrs in and damn near 35 wake up its over literally
Wow, the Nick haters are…interesting.
Quick recap: A delusion Iggy fan above ^^^^^^^^ had to reach all-the-way-back to 1993 to redeem the legendary Salt-N-Pepa receipts to discredit Nicki. YOU reached back to 1996 to redeem legend Kim’s receipts (whom I LOVE) to discredit Nicki. It’s absurd, really.
Question: Why don’t yall quote Iggy’s receipts, the undisputed new Queen of Rap according to yall, to discredit her success? You all deemed her the Queen. Why can’t you use her receipts to go after to Nicki? Iggy is Nicki’s contemporary. Compare her to Nicki.
We already know why you don’t wanna do that.
“If Nicki isn’t gold by the end of the year she’s done.” Huh? What? Nicki’s album was released on Dec. 15. So, if she isn’t gold within 16 days of the 15th, she’s done? What about Iggy’s album that came out in APRIL that is still not gold?
The absence of logic is real. I told yall, Iggy has THE WORST fan base on the planet. Katy Perry’s fans are scholars compared to these knuckle draggers. And has the audacity to have THAT name.
Definitely Iggy tease.
Replays A B’s “Wallace”
You guys are retarded!!! You really think that Jaywan fraud works at Universal? LMFAOOOO! Poor little Jason is exploiting all of us for RTs and mentions, he says he makes money from it. If that’s true he’s literally eating off Nicki, and you flops help lol. Answer me this, try to be objective and unbiased for once in your life. Does an A&R exec, for one of the biggest labels in the world, really have time to rant about Nicki for DAYS? He couldn’t even read the HDD prediction number correctly when anyone and their mother could clearly see it didn’t say 69K. You guys cling to anything somewhat negative to Nicki, does that make you feel better about Kim becoming extinct? Either way, Jason is really laughing as he’s cashing in on your insecurities regarding Kim 🙂
Kim doesnt have 2 double plat albums, she doesnt even have ONE plat album, Hardcore has sold 1.4M to date (PF sold more). n Nic has 2 plat albums
**ONE double plat album
Wtf streams count towards actual sales? Im confused. :S
So how do we know what she actually sold with real money? This is odd to me. I have so much respect for female rappers like Lauryn Eve Kim Missy who went platinum without streams n what not.
Nickis first weeek sales arent impressive to me now. I would respect hern others more if they relied solely on actual sales.
201K is solely sales though…
Without the sales she sold 201,000 units which is great considering the fact that they said she would sell 107,000-108,000.
This post is a mess…
Lmao, how sad is it that Barbz can’t congratulate Nicki without Iggy becoming the topic of discussion? I love how anyone who has something negative about Nicki is assumed to be an Iggy stan. Just as insecure as their fav and for no reason at all. Lol @Mary Mary did Iggy run over your puppy? You seem extras salty, more than the usual hater. Still making claims with no receipts to back them. It’s only Tuesday yet Iggy has already managed to dominate your weak and overshadow your fav. I expected this to flop, but unlike the other Nicki haters making up excuses, 201k in actual sales is not bad at all for a female rapper, even if she had all the promo in the world. Congrats to Nicki. I’m more interested to see how it sales in the long run though. I’ve never stressed first week sales because they are ultimately irrelevant. It doesn’t matter where you start, its about how you finish. Plenty of albums open big but die out quick and prove to be front loaded while some open week but prove to have legs. Lets see how TPP goes
Not salty at all. I just have a very low tolerance for delusion, mediocre talent sold as superior talent, and sheer disrespect of African American artists who have proven themselves over and over again who are in turn discounted as less than.
But thank you for naming me personally as the truth teller.
I give Iggy’s fans the most because they are the most unintelligent. They are the most base. They are the ones who lack critical thinking skills. They are ones who point and say, indiscriminately, ‘you don’t like Iggy because she’s white.” How trite. They are the most ridiculous people. They are the poster children for the “Stay In School” movement.
The fact of the matter is I am going to continue to be ruthless when it comes to Iggy. Iggy’s fans repeated themselves over and over that she was the Queen of Rap. I’m, simply, asking them to prove it? If she’s actually the Queen of Rap, my proposal shouldn’t be that hard to answer.
If you are not a part of this ridiculous fan base, why are you bothered? You named me because you ARE bothered. Oh well.
See Pitchfork.
See Jezebel.
It’s not just me.
My life has slayed the haters again & again. Lmao!! 200k+ wow!!!! I didn’t expect the album to do this well. First its pure rap, 2 a female rapper, 3: she aint white(thanks to Iggy). I’m really proud. I don’t even get u haters, I frankly don’t, it makes no sense to me, jokes aside!!! Congrats my life—- I DIE 4 U
Welldone Onika
251K with streams; it still did 201K based on pure sales. Still good numbers, would’ve been incredibly disappointing of she did less than 200K with almost a year’s worth of promo.
Also why can’t the Bratz just shut the f*** up and be happy without bringing up Iggy? They should really keep it cute in case it drops 76%+ next week (not saying it will, I’m predicting a 70% drop, which is normal).
No Flower, we’re happy, very happy. If you actually read the comments, majority about Iggy are in response to haters talking about Nicki’s sales, calling it a flop etc. The ones not in response, why can’t they comment? When Iffy has been hailed as the next best thing, something capable of being better than Nicki, well according to the flops here and shamefully biased white media, why can’t we compare? That’s what they did. They really tried to push Itchy as Nicki’s White counterpart, but it’s never gonna happen. One has talent, one doesn’t. One writes lyrics, one doesn’t. One is authentic, one isn’t. Shall I proceed?…
It’s very unfair of you to suggest that Nicki’s fans should not challenge Iggy’s fans, when they have been nothing but disrespectful, inflammatory, racist, and overall disgusting people.
I’m certainly a Nicki fan. See my ridiculous name taken from a Nicki lyric to prove that. 🙂 But I have NEVER been closed off from criticism of Nicki. Iggy’s fans present her as perfect and infallible. I think Nicki’s fan are reacting against this arrogance. In other words, her fans act just like her. This is proving to be an error as her fans are also proving themselves to be very unintelligent and people are reading them for their limitations.
This is not Nicki’s fault. This is the fault of the fan base who constantly talks about how ugly black people are. How educated black people are. How “ghetto” black people are. These are Iggy’s fans. Sorry, But what we are finding is people are much smarter than Iggy’s fans. They make them look very silly. They expose them on their racism. Iggy’s fans are looking more and more like a reflection of her and people are simply calling it out.
Don’t blame those who are calling them out. Blame the neanderthals who stan for her.
Forgive me for that rant above. I rarely come out of character like that. Iggy’s fans have been so terrible lately and it got the best of me. Sorry about that.
Wait, Universal Studios? ……….. I thought that was a theme park.
Lmao yaaaas slay nicki!
When will her lessors.
*plays win again*
Just a question: these numbers are including streams (you know the new rule for the Billboard 200) or pure sales? What a joke of a change btw.
I´m glad Sam Smith is doing over 100k units this week so many months after the release of his album.
Also surprised at the success of that “Black messiah” album. I still have not listened to it but it has more than 90 out of 100 in Metacritic! Wow. Have you guys checked it?
I bought the D’Angelo album the day it came out. It’s sublime. But it’s not the type of album that you recommend to others blindly. Are you familiar with his prior work?
The critics have written beautifully about the album because they are able to contextualize “Brown Suga” and the masterpiece “Voodoo” with its realize. It seriously deserves all the praise.
I’m glad that you like the Sam Smith album. I find it insufferable. SOOOO bad.
No I don´t like it that much, but hey he is talented and can sing. So I find his sales good news in this day and age where crap tops charts 80% of the time 🙂
Define “Moves 251,000 units” ??
Remember the days when it was simply “… sold 251,000 copies of album” ????
Whats “moves units” mean??
Meaning the stores purchased that many copies. Those aren’t actuall numbers purchased.

I’m just wondering when Sam will give his concession speech, cause he lost that bet he made that Nicki will not move 200,000 units. See u never count your chickens before they hatch.
194,000 #TwirlonThat #Poordat
Good for Nicki Minaj, but the original number is THE number. Billboard mucked up the BB200 by adding streaming. Just b/c it can be done does not mean it should be. Soundscan and computerized calculations have made it too tempting for Billboard to keep tinkering with the charts b/c it’s really no additional effort for the staff. The BB200 should measure sales of albums in the album format, and that’s all it should measure. People who stream and buy a particular single by an artist, but not the artist’s album, are not supporting the album, and their support of a particular single should not factor in the album chart.
More like 193,000. Try again.
still 244k
queen onika be showing them no mater how u stress it
So she didn’t move 200K after all? Welp.
The way the Bratz came out of hiding yesterday though.
Came out of hiding? Lol none of us cared about those predictions and certainly didn’t go into hiding. Nicki still sold more than expected anyway so keep it moving…
Sum ain’t right.the predictions are akways on point and said nicki selling180 thousand so how its 252 thousand now? Da deperate chick brought them herself or young money.too bad still ain’t number one.Taylor swift slaying that.sell a mill a week like Taylor. Thar still ain’t shyt for the so called huge fanbase
