Days before the release of her new album, ‘Autobiography’ performer Nicki Minaj has set a ratings record with her recent appearance on NBC‘s ‘Saturday Night Live’, casting a hot pink shadow on efforts made by the series’ other guest stars.
Good news below…
TV By the Numbers reports:
“Saturday Night Live,” with host James Franco and musical guest Nicki Minaj (4.4 rating, 11 share in household results in the 56 markets metered by Nielsen Media Research; 2.2/10 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters) delivered the show’s second highest rating in metered-market households so far this season, trailing only the Nov. 1 telecast (with host Chris Rock and musical guest Prince, 4.9/12).
Her ratings-pulling performance on the show saw her outperform appearances made by Cameron Diaz, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea and Maroon 5, none of whom were able to match the 4.4 million viewers Ms. Minaj pulled in during her special.
In related news, today has seen the rapper announce that she is to hit the road with Trey Songz, whom she has called on to support her forthcoming ‘Pinkprint Tour.’
She revealed:

Trey should be a opening act for her not joint tour.. he is so local.. now a tour with rihanna… I can see it now island girls tour… now those tickets would sell.
cant remember when she last hit #1…. 😀
A tour without any genuine hits. so sad, ya’ll.
Not a beyonce stan talking about not having hits…
A #1 hit doesnt mean s***. Thriller by MJ didnt go #1 yet its his most famous song. Btw Nicki has more certified records than any female rapper in history.
On February 26, 1983, Michael Jackson’s Thriller hit Number One on the Billboard 200 chart. The 1982 release was revolutionary, a watershed moment in the history of rock and roll. It earned a record-breaking number of Grammy awards, sold in record numbers, resulted in music videos that changed promotional possibilities, broke down racial barriers and left a legacy of influence that continues to this day.
Actually nicko is correct… Thriller THE SONG, only peaked at #4. Thriller THE ALBUM however did go #1.
He is opening tho…
Being praised for acting like herself. (A CLOWN) is hilarious ! The music industry is dying if this is praise worthy!
This is why stanning for Nicki is so easy. We don’t need spin, her stats doing the stanning for us.
Gaga who???? 🙁
Im sure gaga sold more records thsn your fave and mine now sit..
1. The fact that Trey is going to be her opening act should scare him.
2. Le proof is in le pudding when it comes to Nicki vs Iggy. The public have made their choice ONCE again.
It’s a joint tour tho. He’s not opening. Soooo:..:.
Who said its a joint tour? He’s opening
Get your facts straight s***
So Trey who debuted in 05 is opening up for a rapper whose first album came out five years later. #LocalBoyProblems.
And this my people, is what the Queen of Hip Hop does. She breaks records!!
Beyonce can never.
Can never what exactly? Have tons of promo and flop? Nicki’s album is not going to sell well.
Yonce all on your mouth like liquor.
Can we not compare two people at the top of their respective leagues, they’re both Queens
The difference between a Nicki stan is “other” people is that Nicki stans support with their mouths and their money.
For example. “My fave is the Queen” says the flop stan who chooses not to buy their queen’s music if it costs any more than a dollar.
Nicki sold out arenas worldwide in 2012 and she’ll do it again this time because she has actual people who actually like her. Unlike “others” she is bigger than her songs are which is why she can announce a european tour WITHOUT having a european hit.
Receipts of these sold out arenas? Lmao the delusion…….
You made the point that it didn’t so YOU provide receipts. Her world tour DID sell out which is why she had to add more dates. Or did you forget that she did multiple nights at the 02?
Troll please. I did not see it on any best selling tour lists in 2012/2013 therefor it didn’t happen lol keep dreaming though!
Erm, you should do your research and apply some common sense. Nicki did sell out all of her venues which is why more dates were added. First she did a small tour in the UK and then when demand got bigger they announced the arena show, do you know how much it costs to put one show together at a venue as big as the 02?
OK, think about that while I tell you this.
Which person in their right mind adds MORE dates to a tour that isn’t sold out? Nobody does because it’s not profitable and would mean she’d be running at a loss.
Second world tour in two years? Slay a bit sis.
Men lie, women lie, radio play lies, but sales and viewing figures do not. That’s all Imma say for now.
Onika slaying with those legitimate numbers. Good on you sis.
Why is anyone impressed that Nicki is slayed with the ratings? You must be the people who bought into the lie that she wasn’t popular anymore. Well that sucks because she actually comes through with the numbers and THAT’S why TV and touring companies feel so confident when it’s time to invest in her.
Can’t say the same for everybody else though. *SipsTea.
Congrats Nicki, can’t wait for the slayage that is the The Pink Print come December 15.
Like my good grandmother always told my sisters and I when we were growing up. Better to suffer in truth than delight in lies. Basically, it’s better to hustle and work hard so you know your s*** is legit when you get it than CHEAT to make it seem like you’re poppin when you’re really not.
Tell em, cuz we all know that other rapper’s fans have egg on their faces when they saw that no one bought her rerelease. Lol
once again, the public has made their choice…
u say Nicki is not a good performer but people strives to see her…..dis is not the first time she has high ratings… check Grammy, check Ema, now SNL…I wouldn’t be surprise if she host the Grammys cos dey need ratings…now #thereal rating is coming…can’t wait for her to come to spain
happy birthday Nicki
Well at the END OF THE DAY TRICKI GARBAGH won’t have my coins!! I’m shocked as successful Trey Songz is why tour with a WACK FAKE (C) RAPTRESS? I’m lost & I’ll pass on any tour UNCLUDING THAT TRAMP!!
B**** you can’t even spell. sit down
I thought she was done. I thought piggy took her spot like “oops I bumped ya” as a certain trolling obsessed goat likes to point out. Slay us Onika with those TV ratings, only 6 days till the TPP land’s in store’s and she will show these singles corny ass pop stars fronting as rapper’s whose the queen, who can sell singles and albums.
Congrats Onika !!
And happy birthday Nicki
I would spill some truth tea but the general public already did that. #RealAlwaysBeatsFake
#BuySomeFansCosYouNeedMorePeople
What’s that I hear? The sweet sound of AUTHENTIC NUMBERS. Okeigh!
Congrats Nicki, wait till she ethers Uggly and shows her what a true album seller is. I know em piggy stans are fuming wherever they. And don’t @ me until you can tell why Uggly can sell singles, but not albums.
I’ve learned a valuable lesson this year on some real s***.
Hardwork >>> Fraudulent work. I was trying to take some short cuts in so many avenues in my life but only slayed when I put that work in.
I don’t really have to say how that applies to this, do I?
Spill that rue yea. Real recognize real and in the end people can see who is real and who is fake.
SMH DAVID FORGOT TO MENTION THAT SHE HAS FAILED TO BEAT THE EPISODE THAT CHRIS ROCK HOSTED AND PRINCE PEFORMED WHICH IS THE HIGHEST RATED EPISODE OF THE SEASON SO FAR
STICK TO THE FACTS DAVID DONT JUST REPORT WHAT EVER YOU WANT

Actually he didn’t, it says it right there in the article.
Oh you poor b****, did you not read the write up you were trying to shade?
Learn to read before you TRY to read sis.
“…delivered the show’s second highest rating in metered-market households so far this season, trailing only the Nov. 1 telecast (with host Chris Rock and musical guest Prince, 4.9/12).”
hate makes people like catfish miss important details like that,in hopes of o successful shade on Nicki.
I STILL SEE NO RECORDS BEING BROKEN 🙁
Damn, this truth tea be hitting.
I live in UK and tbh nicki is a pretty big deal here. The tickets are not out yet and ppl are going crazy! I remember last show she did at 02 generated almost £1.2 million from jst one night which is really remarkable for a rap artiste. Not a huge fan of her music Buh you gotta give props to her. Big sis doing her thing !
How is she setting ratings record when she’s behind Prince?
Because it was the highest rated episode SINCE Prince. Btw, you’re wasting your time being a Prince fan when everyone knows he will never match MJ’s impact.
Congratz Nicki, keep doing your thing sista.
LET’S HOPE HER TOUR BREAKS RECORDS AND NOT BECOME LIKE LADY GAGA WHO PERFORMS IN HALF FILLED VENUES
Yeah….Interestingly 70% of the time i question these ridiculous records these mediocre artists allegedly set,I get attacked by random people posing as MJ FANS defending the rubbish i’m criticizing.People ashamed of their real faves it seems
@fooliejean1989
Dossome why are you hating on Nicki, someone who have so much respect for prince and the legend that he is.Dossome you sh!tting on people who respect your fav isn’t a good look, and don’t try to justify it claiming a barb dis prince so your just retaliating, because i have seen you more than one time on a nicki post baselesly hating on her. and for the record i respect prince and MJ, i don’t get caught up in stupid beef made up by fans of the two in turn to cause me to dis any of them.if prince have issues with Mj that’s on him, that don’t change how i feel about him and Mj.
Mediocre artists respecting my fave doesn’t make them any less mediocre…I judge artists by their work,NOT what they think of my faves,simple as that
Dossome well that’s on, now f-ckoff.
Another joint tour…. *sips tea*
As much as everyone dislikes Iggy, i will love to see her & Nicki do a HUGE colab. Kinda how Brandy & Monica did when everyone pinned them against each other for no reason. It’ll be sooooo HUGE for females in hip hop. The Queen & The Princess.
All I see is a bunch of fake usernames saying the same thing over and over. This is very unimpressive. I can’t wait for her album to flop. 😆
You would say it’s fake, only the Kim/Ugg Boots stans make fake multiple names to reply to their own comment, thumbs up and slip up by writing the same thing. People actually LOVE & respect Nicki, something you mustn’t be used to anymore with the likes of Igloo.
WhichFakeUsernameAreYou? Iggy has all of you sooooo pressed. It’s actually sad.
And Nicki got you so pressed sister, and it ain’t even real. An old woman like you?? I can’t
Ha Sicki is OLDER than me! I know I’m fierce and I don’t need a bunch of cosmetic surgery to prove it unlike your silicone fav. 😉
Lol, Nicki is older than you?? Coulda fool me *rolls eye*s
Pressed where? That 11/13K whatever has really got me scared right? I’m quaking in my boots LMFAOOO NOT! As I was going to put in my original reply, I have a similar name to a few people on here I guess but B**** IM ME. You can tell the difference between what I post & others on here. You old, sad, lame, tired ass woman, why are you so bitter? Fierce? You’re fugly
@dossome the rubbish that slayed other acts this era and merely below Prince…OK!!! let put it dis way the highest rating for a female and merely under….okay let’s see who would host the grammys
She is still a flop
People are forgetting that she co hosted with James Franco i bet the majority of the audience tuned in to watch him and nit this plastic h**
Congrats Nicki…She still got it!!!! 😀
Oh pls its a wrap for onigger
Spoken like a true Uggly stan. Racist as ever.
Didn’t watch it.
and she still did good, so your hating was just in vain.you stupid little molly.
Look, stop spewing your hate on TGJ, it’s not our fault that your mammy loved black c-ock and now you’re bitter because your pa left you.. Oh the struggle to be white
James Franco did it, not her 😀
AGREED
look at the view numbers from the last time he hosted sis *sips tea*
But she literally outshone him & pretty much everyone reviewing agreed. These views are Nicki’s but ok hater
FIRST THINGS FIRST NICKI IS THE REALIST! DROP THE PINK PRINT AND LET THE HOLD WORLD FEEL IT!! QUEEN NICKI
*Sips Apple Cider* I actually like that, that was cute 😉
Her lyrics are not memorable they say.
5 singles released and everything is this mediocre at best, yall getting life off the tv ratings and tours but the music is still AVERAGE at best. Who gives a f*** about numbers looking for SUPREME quality music and she’s not giving anything but PinkFriday number 3: Same Ol Same
Realest.bla bla bla shut the f-ckup, you on here atting sh!t same thing every day. take a break man are at least come up with something new surprise us.
Well maybe if nicki did something new and stopped releasing the same mediocre, snoozefest tracks I could give my comments variety. But she’s a “quantity over quality type chick and her music reflects that. I do think she’s a decent rapper but her music is trash and a half hun.. Sorry
Please inform me of this fifth single? Am I as the barb missing something? All Things Go is the INTRO to her album, not a single. The music is not average, typical hater. You just want one thing, Nicki is too versatile for that. Again I tell you FOUR very different singles, wait for the album & then judge. She saves her best for the album. Same mediocre snooze fest tracks, LMAO you’re actually delusional. See you Monday, I know you’ll be on a t****** site cuz you wouldn’t buy the album anyway, even if she gave you what you apparently want.
This site kills me with these souped up stats on Nicki Threesome. Nobody even watches SNL anymore. Is this the 90s?
hahaha trey songz has been in the game for 10 years and he’s still opening up for people
James his impact! Too bad Nicki’s fanbase and her “slayage” couldn’t keep the album from dropping out of the iTunes top 10 the next morning.
Happy birthday my Queen!!! Love you, can’t wait for the pinkprint!!
LMAO THE PINK SLIP IS FINNA BOMB
