One day after the album peaked at #1 on iTunes USA, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘The Pinkprint’ has received its opening week sales prediction.
So, just how many units does ‘Hits Daily Double’ predict the chart-topping album will sell this week?
Find out below…
Set to mark her third consecutive US #1 album, ‘Pink’ is set to move 165,000 units in its opening week but open at 180,000 thanks to streaming points.
Its opening position of #1 will see her become the first and only female rapper in chart history to top the ‘Billboard 200’ with three different albums, but marks her lowest opening number to date, almost 200,000 units less than 375,000 copies her debut album ‘Pink Friday‘ sold in the November of 201o.
HDD reveals:
Nicki Minaj‘s The Pinkprintis on track for next week’s biggest chart bow, followed by D’Angelo’s out-of-the-blue return after 14 years,Black Messiah. We also see a live set from 5SOS(featuring some punky covers mixed in with the Aussie band’s originals) and another highly touted soundtrack from Disney.
Here’s hoping Camp Minaj has plans in place to ensure ‘Pink’ remains a hot topic throughout the next year. For, while numbers like the above would be a dream come true for some acts, we’re sure we’re not the only ones who feel that these figures are beneath the rapper.
LMAO!!!!
SCREAMING at TGJ thinking Nicki is going to debut at #1 with those kind of sales this close to Christmas! lol 😉 TAYLOR SWIFT will be #1 chile, Nicki just has the biggest DEBUT of the week….LAWD 😉
WAAAAHAHAHAHALOLOLOL!!!!! FLOOOOPPP!!!! WHERE ICKI STQNS AT SO I CAN DEAAAAAAG DEM!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! All that promo and the bish can’t even move 200k. I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!
I normally defend women from negative comments, but I could never defend her. I’m sick of black women making other black women look terrible. So, I’m glad it’s not doing so well, too. Don’t think her clothing line is a hit either.
Screaming.
When cheryl did 20k after being forced in our faces twice a week for 3 months. You should be crying not screaming sis
B**** why are you obsessed with me? Lmao. I already clocked your tea. Go sit down LOL
I see I got you mad girl. Stay mad. Lmao I love when you run out of comebacks and try it. Pathetic b****
J. Cole outsold this stink pusssy b**** with NO PROMO!!!! I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONLY???????? 😀 😛 😀 😛 kiiiiiiiii
AFTER A LONG RUN OF EXTENSIVE PROMO AND HYPE THIS IS ALL SHE IS PREDICTED TO SELL IN ITS FIRST WEEK?
http://www.fashionglossaryuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/bey.gif
OMFG NO! It’s good but not on Nicki’s level. 250k is what I was predicting tbqh. Reaching platinum is gonna be a problem now. 🙁
Boitch PPRREFLOP isnt platinum so wtf made u think THIS would?!?!
Still #1 album!!
Biiiiiiiicth…gooowwrl u just KNOW u finna get frug dont
u LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!
Wow i guess the barbz can stop coming for ARTPOP and calling it a flop.
the pink print has critical acclaim and songs are being noticed by award shows etc… so no
I DOUBT SHE WILL DEBUT AT #1
NOT WHEN MISS SWIFT AND THAT PENT BLAH BLAH GROUP IS SELLING 200K PER WEEK
Lol
wow…everybody’s talking about d’angelo anyway….REALLY LOVE >>> NICKI’S whole album
that D’Angelo album is quality!
What goes around comes around…..
THATS GREAT BUT I SEE IT OUT DOING WHAT ITS PREDICTED
Taylor Swift is gonna block her from that #1 LOL
Less than 200k I am screaming. She has left no stone unturned for this promo. And that’s it? Meanwhile TGJ the other day did a whole post about her social media stats and mentions on twitter as if that translates to sales. Poor barbz. Now I’m still hoping that Dangelo pulls a total upset and nabs that number one spot out of nowhere. Lmao
Dang…what’s her excuse when J.Cole sold more than her?
All the promotion and hype and only 160k?
JCole did over 300k with no lead single and promotion
I don’t care what no one says. Steaming sales wil never be valid in my book and this Includes my fave. Beyonce. Let me see those actual sales. 165k. KIIIIII.
With the long promo, the hype and a hit song (althought terrible), this is not good at all, some indie bands are making these # without any help from record labels, radio support or much publicity, i guess her Anaconda don’t want none 😀
That was corny ass hell. Try again, try hard
Oh babe, trust me, you don’t want to see me trying.
Right… I’m shaking in my knee boots.
She also pushed her album back she was scared of going toe to toe with Iggy re release
CHILE, I’m spinning *Does cartwheels like Gabby Douglas* ;
Chiiile and im suckn diick! Just be messn up my mablene chile
Awesome !! 😀 3rd #1 album. Queen Onika
😐
Even Beyonce couldn’t save the album! The hive just went to buy their one track off the album and left nicki to struggle Lolllll
Well considering the fact that BEYONCE is our fave…that would make sense.
Disappointing numbers I won’t lie. I expected over 200k in 1st week sales since streaming is now factored into album sales. Disappointed indeed.
I wouldn’t be suppriced if streaming raises and pushes it to 200k but yea the actual sales are low.
*suprised
Necki been promoting the PinkShit since 2012, but she still couldn’t outsell J-cole who didn’t promote for s***. Kiiii
Keep it cute b**** how much did gaga spend on promo?
So Nicki isn’t an album seller..not really a single seller anymore either..her performances are lackluster despite being in the game for over 6 years.
She is now known for her views on VEVO?
Damn that’s embarrassing…
Well what you guys expected when almost 300k bootlegg the album weekend before it was released because it got leaked
excuses…
Mmmm oh well.. didn’t The New Classic sell 52k first week??..
She’s new…nicki been out
Lol she’s all over the world trying to promote guess her PROMOTIONS HAVE FAILED!! Tricki GarbAgh is A MESSY POP ACT!! The kids aren’t HERE FOR HER!!
I called it in that competition post – 150k to 200k.
But oh no, “Nicki will sell 350k easy!” they said.
Mhm…those were lies of unfathomable reachability sis!
Having said that, I’m happy for her. This album deserves a number 1 spot in the charts and that’s great that after 5 years she’s still breaking records as a female in the hip-hop game. God knows those doors need to be open still.
Congrats Nic!
Shh! She’s achieved a lot in the current climate. Other rap b****** opening with 11k, ELEVEN THOUSAND, Nicki will sell 16x more than that if this is how much she actually ends up selling. That’s the fxcking Kii right there!
So poor climate is an excuse for T***** Garbage but not Iggy? Lmao! Death @ you coming for Reclassified, which opened with 13k, but not trying with The New Classic because you know they’ll sell around the same at their peaks.
Even with TNC sales in consideration she still will sell 3x more. Nicki is the one and only rap queen. Watch her out sell Piggy within a month.
Girl shut up
Girl I don’t even know why you’re here. According to you Iggy was going to outsell Nicki that’s why she pushed back? You is looking stoopid, yeah that’s egg on your face!
Uggly Stan’s can sit down cuz their favs could never. #11k anyway I was expecting sales a little over 200k but we will see
NO BIITCH U SIT DOWN KII!!!
You’ll pretty much stay mad at those LACKLUSTER sales, hon.
THE BARFS HAVE BEEN VERY ARROGANT AND COCKY THESE PAST MONTHS GUESS THEY ARE GETTING WHAT’S COMING TO THEM 😆
The Pinkprint is #15 on the UK Midweek Chart….shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in da air 😉
When will iggy? Who missed every chart with #11k
Once again.. 11k and her first week sales are almost half of what igloo sold in a year. You do the math.
Reflopified and all of its singles didn’t chart in the UK soooooo.
LOLOL drag ha…DRAAAAGGGG HAAAA!!!
Well who counts iTunes as being a actually chart-top success?! Smh the only thing I’m worried about is billboard that’s the one that counts not iTunes smh these queens getting excited over a #1 album on a website SMDH bet she won’t be number one on billboard petty! Lol this is only a prediction from billboard you only got a day at #1 not a week baby she fell off after Pink Friday
A BLACK female rapper selling +100K first week in 2014 is amazing. Im so happy for Nic ;D
@Nicko, please don’t tell me you came here to try and prove a case. These people here aren’t even out of high school. Most people here are either here to stir up drama, or simply just entertained by the comments!
not if they are the most overexposed artist of the year.
Lmao!!!!!! Where are all the Barbz hiding at? TGJ was Barbz World two days ago, what happened? How is the “Queen of Hip-Hop” selling less than Ariana Grande? I told y’all this album would flop. Considering Nicki’s music doesn’t have longevity on the charts, I’d say it will peak around 350-450k in the US total. This is pure karma for the Bratz coming for Iggy. I thought The Pink Print would outsell The New Classic in a week or two? Lmao! The New Classic is currently at 429k, I’m betting TPP will peak around the same. I guess the Bratz and T***** Garbage will have to start humbling themselves. I’m looking forward to dragging them in the following months as this trash struggles for gold.
Where is TIHWD hiding on billboard Hot 100?
Why is Britney Performing to 2000 open seats in Vegas?
Lmao!! You can’t defend T***** Garbage against anything I said so you tried coming for song released months ago! Barbz are scrambling for excuses and failing! This attempt of a drag is weaker than Britney’s knee caps and recent album sales.
we still here h** and damn the New flop ain’t even gold yet?
Can you please explains to us why the new classic isn’t even gold yet despite it being out for half a year and even has a re release and a #1 song?
Can u explain y pprr isnt platinum yet and it been out three yrs
Can you explain why your only way to defend Nicki is to come for Iggy? Is it because there is no excuse for these tragic numbers?
Iggy just came out!
She hasn’t even been out for over a year..she still has the HIGHEST SELLiNG hip hop album of 2014
Yes the album that is just touching gold beat all your faves including Nicki who has been promoting this flop album for over 2 years and who has been in the game for over 6 years and has a solid fan base
What kind of dumb logic is that. How many albums did Nicki’s first album sale!?? her first album my ass
What kind of dumb logic is comparing an album released in 2008 to an album released in 2014? Be seated.
It’s done all the time genius.
Iggy= queen of Hip Hop!
not with 11k sis she just got bodied by a real queen.
Once again, nother bishes selling less than ARTFLOP HUAHUHAUHAHNANANANANA IM CRYING BISH NICKI IS OVAAAAAAAA HAHABANANANANANANN
YAAASSSSSSS BISH!!!
Still slayed your favs when will Iggy with her 11k or cowriah with her 60k or even j no with her 47,000k.
After two years of promo Flop.
375K
250K
165K
LOL THE DECLINE IS REAL 😆
But that net worth keeps going up. #still winning .
“You’re like a burning match. That means the end is near soon, Copy That?” – Lil’ Kim, Queen of Rap
When Nickis first album released she had a solid fantbase. People were actually interested in her
When Iggys album released she hadn’t garnered a solid fan base. Heck even Fancy wasn’t out. Selling over 50k was good considering the above
Nicki is a flop..even B couldn’t save her
Nicki please hang it up flat screen
Karma is a b****!
The new classic still isn’t gold? watch nicki go gold before the month is over with. she doesn’t struggle to sell like floppgy
well these numbers are decent in this climate somewhat…but the nicki vs Iggy on this site needs to stop it gets irritating after awhile! I rarely comment on here but both girls are doing pretty well in their individual lanes
Her singles flops her album flops so just like ARTFLOP WE should call this album PINK FLOP. she’s promoting this album so hard and she’s still selling less than ARTFLOP hahahaa I’m weak. she’s clearly will be over bye bye nicki garbage you’re done
FLOP!!!! Iggy hurry up and hit us with album #2 please….
Damn Iggy still being slayed left,right and center.
IGGY HAS THE BEST SELLING ALBUM BY A FEMALE RAPPER THIS YEAR SOOOOOO .
Iggy just got done polishing her two AMAs and is making room for her Grammys. If anything this news brought a smile to her face. Karma never fails to humble those who have no reason to be cocky.
J Cole sold over twice as much with no promo and a fraction of the hype.
Jcole album only good people bought it won’t go platinum maybe not even gold!!!! Nicki still ccan
Hood*
That’s because he makes real music with real purpose. He’s nobodies puppet and will not be objectified.
She did Ariana’s numbers tho.
cheryl couldn’t do ashanti’s numbers tho…
She did? What kind of stupid attempt.
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2014/03/final-sales-ashanti-pharrell-rick-ross-exceed-predictions/
ashanti did 28k first week, cheryl did 20k. thats a whole 8k more sis. thats thats a 40% increase on cheryl numbers.
You failed just like your flop fave hahahahahahhaha
Oh babe but I didnt. Those are us numbers. Cheryl doing 21k in the UK is NOT doing 28k in the us. Stay in school and learn ratios b****. Kiiiiiiiii!!!
B**** ashanti is independent and had no promo lets not even act up now. Cheryl has the machine behund her and was guaranteed to sell wayy more then het last album in your own words. Now you look like such a huge fool hahahaha
Again, idk if you can read but UK vs USA sis. Multiply Cheryl’s numbers by 5. You desperately tried LOL
TARGET CANCELED ALL PREORDERS THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ALBUM!!! Anaconda was only the instrumental and they are not restocking it
I thought she could push 200k. Obviously wrong.
Yea u were ho
I’m disappointed. this is Nicki’s best album and should be treated as such. having said that, for a female rapper and in todays sales climate she has done well
Girl hush

Shouldn’t have abandoned her pop fans with for that rap crap. next album she be full on pop because that rap mess isn’t selling.
Pop isn’t either sis. This is a respectable debut.
YOU KNOW YOU AIN’T S*** IF YOU PREDICTED TO SELL LESS THAN LANA.
lana del rey had one of the strongest female first weeks of the year. at the time her album came out she had the highest first week sales for any female pop act.
Not her struggling to fill those stadium seats though…
The Bratz seem to be struggling with their excuses even to the point where they’re making random comparisons to make these weak numbers seem good. J.Lo and Mariah are both decades into their careers last time I checked. One of them is a certified legend regardless of how many times she flops. Iggy was irrelevant to most back in January but since then has managed to take #1 on the Hot 100 for 7 weeks, setting a record for female rappers, have her album open with 57k, launch a successful tour, land 2 more top 10 hits plus a top 40 hit, 4 Grammy nominations, and two AMA wins, with her album currently at 429k in 8 months. Nicki is a well established artist on her 3rd album. This is suppose to be her prime yet she’s struggled for gold on PNP, barely reached platinum with Anaconda, and her other singles are MIA. Despite all the alleged anticipation and 2 years worth of hype and promo, these numbers are nothing less than a flop.
they still flopped b**** sit down. just like Katy flop got slayed by Queen Taylor swift.
Kiiiii @ these excuses!! Nicki is a flop, deal with it. Death @ you bring in Taylor because you can’t defend T***** Garbage! When Taylor can see Katy on the charts we will talk. Roar sold more than Blank Space and Shake It Off combined. And Katy Flop’s sophomore studio release outsold Nicki’s entire career. Lmao! Stop trying.
as long as she sold more then Iggy i’m happy.
Hahahahaha. That’s it? Not her doing less than Rick Ross. I thought she was supposed to scrap 200K and DESTROY my fave’s sales like she did with Roman Retarded?
I think Nicki should be the least of your worries sis. you should be worried about how lana is gonna fill those stadium seats.
The 10-20K+ capacity amphitheater tour that’s nearly sold out? Better snatch tickets hun because they’re already going fast and the tour doesn’t start until May.
B**** post ACTUAL receipts. She is not selling those arenas.
Arenas? They’re amphitheaters. And you can check Ticketmaster right now for receipts, almost all the remaining tickets left are standing areas in the back. Some shows almost completely sold out just from presale.
Screaming @ the lies and backtracking!!!!!! I see MANY venues with many tickets kiiii!!!
Don’t know what Ticketmaster you’re on but I see the complete opposite. Anyways it’s still larger than any venue Chav or Onika ever will fill.
Flipity flopity. All that titty shaking for that?? So you prodtituted yourself for that?? And you all like this smut? Next week will decrease by 90% im sure.
The numbers could rise in the upcoming weeks, these album projections can be messy at times. They predicted Taylor’s album at 700k before they kept changing them till the actual sale’s came in.
Leave it to the pressed souls on this site to spin this into something bad. Slay Nicki the other rap girls could never.
Damn Nick :/
Slay Onika! that’s just from one of day sales?
WW sales: @taylorswift13, “1989” 380,000 (3,394,000 total).
be gone with your creepy fav and her eerily weird album sales
Jealous?
Congrats Onika!
She’s still slaying the rest thought. Especially I-G-G-BYE
WW sales: @taylorswift13, “1989” 334,000 (3,728,000 total).
*updated one. Opps. Forgive me Taylor. lol
Nearly two years of promo and hype, five singles, 10373 features, two top 10 hits, that softcore p*** that was big for like 2 weeks, that glorified Hustler magazine spread calendar, and can’t even do more than Ariana Grande or a so-called “Tumblr nobody” who had no hits or promo to start the era off. A mess.
just like your favs struggle vocals tbh
An Onika stan coming for vocals after Offkey Piano?
But she did ariana numbers? I don’t see the drag.
Ariana did at least 170K, I think.
No she did 160 something. Nicki will do more
Oh no, it’s the all the lyrical content about her ass that probably put people off
YUP SHE IS DONE! her and rihanan are on the way out. It was a good 5 years of nick. Iggy is working with Brit and gong on tour, which seems to be doing well, bases on pre sales. Iggy will now be the queen of rap.
Iggy is on the same jingle ball radio tour as Rita – these blonds have the same management and will stay getting US airplay next year.
PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
165K????????????
AND YOU KNOW WHY THATS EVEN WORSE? THE ALBUM WAS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO MAKE. 20 SONGS WITH OVER 6 FEATURES? If ya’ll understood enterainment law and copyright and mechanicals etc you will understand why most artists don’t go past 12 songs on an album and most stay at 10. It has nothing to do with lack of music but to do with what the record company is willing to pay for and what they arent! 20 songs is double which means she had to personally make up most of the slack lmaoooo
165K??????????? After all the hype???? And the money being spent on this week of ridiculous promotion isnt cheap either.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NICKI YOU A STUPID H**! YOU STUPID H**! STUPID, STUPID H**!!!!! HAHAHAHA I CANT RIGHT NOW NOW!!!! IM DYING ON THE FLOOR. THIS B**** THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA REALLY SELL OVER 2K. F*** YOU B****! HAHAHAHA
TEAMMINAJ KEEP BEING UP RECLASSIFIED SALES. DUMMIES IT WAS A RE-RELEASE ALBUM DUMB F****! TEAMMINAJ IS A BUNCH OF STUPID H*** LOL. DONT EVER MENTION IGGY NAME AGAIN IF YOU AINT GONNA MENTION ” THE BEST” YUP, “THE BEST” THAT HAS EVER DONE IT. NICKI WHO LOL. IGGY SEASON B****! TEAMMINAJ RESPECT IGGY HUSTLE. BROKE ASS B******. WE GETTING MONEY OVER HERE, WHAT YA DOING? ILL WAIT… WE TAKE YOUR LUNCH MONEY
Reflopified was an EP! 11k floppppppp
Shitprint is flopping around like a fish out of water at day 2.
Ha!!!!!!! Hahahahahahaha, I said 120K to 150K, well I wasn’t too far off. Have y’all seen twitter? The rag dolls were saying 350k, 750K, lol!
What happen to her oh so loyal fan base tho?
lol
the self drag
^Hahahahahahaha.
But not hoesie acing like lana is multi platinum. The b**** is stuck at 300k
How many units has Flopping Human sold to date?
40 something k. Solid for a UK pop album. X mas sales and youring will push it to gold
Hahahaha, you’re full of sh1t! Not when Rihanna sold 300K in a random @ss week with Loud.
not an ashtray cole fan doing the most up on here, when her fav can’t even score an American record deal
She actually turned down an interscope deal. Stupid stans don’t have any of their tea right. Go buy UV and reserve seats for that flop tour
“Waits for first week sales. These fans can tweet and chat about this til the Mariah, I mean til the cows comes home. If you’re not scanning or clicking that purchase button, then these are not fans. #TalkIsCheap” is what I said in that
‘Pink Power’: New Nicki Minaj Album Dominates Social Media
Oh myyyyyy….. not the Mariah comes home!
it’s always the lessor b****** that be the loudest
Twerking those fake balloon cakes for these low numbers?
#TiskTisk 🙂
UV is at 420K, but it can keep using outdated sales from September while its fave can’t sell 40K in its only market.
It’s past 40k babe w certified singles. I believe she’s sold more records this era than your fave?
Dead at you using TEA. In that case UV would’ve been certified gold a while ago.
Damn Lana ain’t gold yet either lmao
Yet Onika can’t outsell her first week. Poor untalented, silicone prostitute.
All the promo, pop over cross appeal and nudity. Tsk.
Rihanna will do the same or less…
Nope, 300K min. Don’t bring Rihanna in this because YOUR fave been promoting all year, pushed the album back and still flopped. Deal with it on your own time.
I dont stan for this trashy b*tch boo. Ur fav will never reach the true queen in the games status and we all know who that is….Rihanna will flop, period.
H*** and haters ” just call me big daddy”. Bopping Pinkprint and still winning.
LMFAO!!! YASS THE QUEEN OF RAP DOES 180K!!! WHEN WILL YOUR FAVE!!! How pathetic. The Lil Kim fans have reasons to laugh.
shut up f**!
But the joke will still be on you sissified
Why is mark always perched dragging others down when he should be worried about usher struggling to release his album?
Usher been in the game for over 20 years, legend status. Usher done things that no other R&B guy nor pop guys has done DURING his career. These CB, Trey and other kids will never reach Usher’s level. (Even JT is still trailing behind.)
Trying to tell me that 40K is a feat. The delusion.
UK sis. Read please. Most pop girls DONT do that.
Well, well, well, Barfz. I told you I’ll see you on the week of December 15th. Your stink pusssy fave can’t even push 200k with all the promo in the world? J. Cole outsold your fave with NO PROMO! I AM SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BARFZ ARE QUIET NOW!!!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
go d***** your loose asshole f**
And yours can no long make the billboard charts nor recognize her own face.
I’ll see you when Lil’ Kim’s collab with Iggy and T.I. hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That will be a kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
LMAO hey those numbers are a tad bit higher than I predicted. The delusional barbz just knew that people were anticipating The Stink Print.
It’s sickening that so many people like to laugh at someone else’s downfalls. If you haven’t noticed, it is almost about to be 2015. People are not buying albums anymore. I mean, didn’t Bey release her album with no single or the option to purchase a single song. She MADE people buy the album. When you give people the option to buy singles, they’re only going to buy the ones they like, just like Bey said. Unfortunately, that’s what some people do including me, and it affects Nicki’s sales because mainly her hardcore fans bought the whole album. In this day in age, I think her sales are very impressive, when her peers are doing below 50k.
The excuses.
Yet you’ll have them when Rihanna flops …
Right!!! These stans are pathetic. I laugh at their disappointment.
Didn’t this album just come out yesterday? How do they have predictions after 1 day?
There’s no way she’s getting #1 with those sales, since Swift hasn’t dipped below 212k since her debut, and her sales rise each week closer to Christmas, with even 280k this week. No way Swift’s dipping below 150k the week before Christmas.
I don’t know why Iggy or Lil Kim stans find this funny.
Iggy sold 52K in her first week and Lil Kim wishes she could pull those numbers again. I knew Nicki wasn’t going to do all that well,hopefully the album will scan gold at this point. I’m not even a fan of Nicki’s, but some of you laughing at her made so many excuses when your faves flopped.At this point only the fans of Beyonce,One Direction,Taylor Swift and maybe three more artist stans are the only ones who have room to talk.
