Are Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Barbz’ the only ones dying to get their hands on her new album, ‘The Pinkprint’?
No.
For, thanks to new stats published by the social media analytics site ‘Topsy’, the rapper is to learn just how much impact the new album is already making on the general public and, when narrowed down, Twitter users.
Surprising facts and figures below…
In just 24 hours, the entertainer’s visual for the single ‘Only’ has crossed the 7 million views mark on ‘VEVO‘, prompting YouTube to throw the release on its homepage in the hours following its arrival.
However, we’d say its her social media stats that are set to give her marketing camp cause to rejoice this morning. For, in the last week, the words ‘The Pinkprint‘ have been tweeted 83,000 times on ‘Twitter’ alone.
When this figure is added to the number of times the album’s title has been discussed in the three weeks leading up to this one, the end result sings (or raps) to the tune of 195,924.
195,924 messages discussing the same album in the space of 4 weeks.
Yesterday, its popularity reached an all time high when it was mentioned 31,000 times on the site, pushed by the anticipation surrounding her appearance on ESPN’s ‘Sports Center‘ and the release of the ‘Only‘ visual.
So, how many times has the name ‘Nicki Minaj’ been tweeted in the last 30 days? Try 23 million.
23,487,259 to be exact.
With so many discussing the release before its arrival, could Minaj’s popularity guarantee her blockbuster opening figures with sales and streams when it touches down on Monday?

Slay ONIKA!
Onika won’t sell either she release 10 songs not one went to number 1 bey could not breath life in that song either try as she might taking her clothes off b*** poppin will not help Onika is a big face looking stripper her time is up Barby days are numbered I hate to say this but her hot days have come and gone when she dress like a ghetto barbie
You right.her time up.and hella singles all flopped except anoconda
All the YouTube and vevo accolades these heifer gets and none of them can sell a million copies of their albums when it comes out I’m starting to respect Taylor Swift now she don’t need to take her clothes off have people watch her video to sell albums I’m not even a swift fan but all the talk on social media and followers these stars have and u can’t get a million people to buy albums I look at Katy Perry this w**** have 60 million people following her where is her sales in albums a shame does twitter worth s***
Your ignorance is actually laughable. When will you guys realise that a black female rapper cannot be compared to a white pop singer, do you not get it? Taylor has success because she has mindless generic pop and makes all the outcasts feel comfortable and all the lil white Tweens bop to it, she couldn’t show skin because she looks like a stick insect but still wears short stuff, it’s disgusting. And it would ruin her perfect pop image
This has really been a good year for her.. So happy for her .. Go Nicki !! Can’t wait to see what 2015 brings her… !!
#BlackGirlsRule
Y’all do know David works for Nicki Minaj right?
They got Myx commercials on the front page, giving out free copies of her new album and have been promoting her on twitter and FB everyday for months and yall still can’t tell.
You weren’t saying that when he was pushing Iggy.
http : //thatgrapejuice.net/2012/02/hot-shots-lady-gaga-channels-iggy-azalea-boyfriend/
Go to the first comment of that thread boo boo, cos I clocked that tea two years ago. YOUR fave was the one who was paying him to write about her.
You don’t want to go there with us boo boo cos on some real s*** I have receipts to prove Iggy and David were in cahoots. Do you have proof about David and Nicki? You f****** don’t so stfu.
The only receipts you have is that he was the first blogger to write about her which isn’t really receipts at all you lowly b****! And he clearly wasn’t being paid cos if he was he wouldn’t have done the thread about her being a racist would he? #NowTwirlOnThat
This so f****** major! Nicki is a proven album seller so this means she’s gonna double slay with sales and the streams.
I cry real tears when I see On The Verge Azalea stans saying Nicki pays David cos the irony is too F****** real. You don’t remember 2011 or are you too busy NOT buying Retrashified to remember?
Ooops. Not my fave about to slay lives with sales and views.
Monday can’t come soon enough 2bfh.
This b**** had to call up ESPN to promote her s*** to a bigger audience SMH. B**** really scard to flop. You a dumb ass b****! Those sports fans don’t care about your plastic ass. They just wanna watch some football.
Plus her YouTube views is bought. Plus that anconda video only got hits is cause she was half naked looking like a w****. Nobody care for the song only her being naked. How desperate can you be for views and album sales. She needs to carry herself a little better.
She even paying fans to post vids and promote her album smh. So desperate I tell you. Iggy got nicki shook she don’t know what to do. It’s a shame when you tell you pay your fans to help promote your trash album smh. B**** need all the sales she can get. Pathetic ass b****
Whoa! She was on ESPN?! That’s pretty cool.
Only because Drake & Chris Brown are in the video. The song is trash Shittie Manja was pointless on the track it was more like Drake, Chris Brown & Lil Wayne FEATURING Shittie Manja. Shittie was hardly on the track. But Drake, Chris Brown & Lil Wayne was the only good thing about the song. Shittie Manja just looked like a w****!
“Only cos Drake and Wayne were in the video.”
…The way Anaconda’s views are set up though…
Oh honey she had to strip to get them hits.
And Pills n Potions?
I know the Igloo Payola b****** aren’t talking about Nicki paying for anything when homegirl spends more money on radio play than Mariah spends on spandex.
Shittie Manja just looked like a W H O R E!
Who cares? NONE of this irrelevant crap will translate into sales. Ciara has like 5 million followers on IG and her last album didn’t even sell 200K, so please miss me with the smoke and mirrors. Nicki will have a decent first week, nothing close to blockbuster. I say 150k-200k POSSIBLY. I actually believe she will do close to 200k but miss the mark.
Comparing Ciara to Nicki is stupid and you know it.
I’m just using an example troll. These social media numbers mean jack s***. Miss me with it.
Social media ain’t worth s*** It’s not helping them to sell more albums all these millions of followers and they can’t sell s*** out of 18million people Nicki have she won’t even sell much it’s sad A real rapper don’t need to be naked I thought rapping was about your skills she looks like a big baffoon stripper soon you will see Beyonce ass kissing up to Taylor Swift bey likes to jump on a winning train she did that with gaga
I could drag Iggy stans but I don’t need to cos the GP did already.
If you really want your fave to slay Nicki all you have to do is buy her albums, but you don’t and that’s why you’re mad.
Lyrically, Nicki beats her.
Commercially, Nicki beats her.
The ONLY thing you can say they’re neck on neck on is popularity because they both get a lot of love from the press and that’s about it.
By the way, I don’t wanna hear any s*** about Davida going up for Onika when it was the same Davida that was forcing YOUR FAVE down our necks before she had a deal. You wanna talk about Nicki paid for this and Nicki paid for that but still haven’t explained why David was promoting PUY when nobody knew who Iggy was.
#ThinkAboutThat
You people are crazy if you think this album wont go platinum. Yall tried to bump her aside and put Iggy in charge, but Iggy Szn is over. Maybe she will come harder and top Fancy next year. What has been happening over the last year just isn’t fair because Nicki has always been a hard worker. I like Iggy, but its Nicki’s Szn!
I mean her last album had much bigger hits and stalled at 800k even after a re-release. With The way sales are now and the fickle GP she may do worse.
Guh bye! All of this hating, lol.
Tricki Garbagh (C)rap is Horrible & ALWAYS NEEDS SOMEOME TO MAKE HER SONGS POP!! Beyoncé,Chris Brown & Crash Dummy records folks to make her seem RELEVANT!!
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
HAAAA!!! You the man!
Said the loose booty f**.
Chile NO BODY ain’t checking for Onika album but the barbz… I notice that grapejuice always try’s to boost Onika’s buzz as if someone is checking for her. Just cause she was mentioned on Twitter 30 million times don’t mean s***. Hell I’m sure Iggy was mentioned waaaay more times than her. Like sit TF down.
I hope Iggy wasn’t mentioned more than her. If she was you would have to explain why Reclassified only sold 11k.
Eauxkai!!!
LMAO!!
Well it was a RE-release so let’s start there …
Guh bye!
I’m not even a fan but I love the album. Sue me!!
Someone uploaded her entire album on YouTube 🙁
Nice try, but we already know and are STILL gonna buy it.
YOU IGGY FANS REALLY SHOULDNT TALK WHEN THE ALBUM DID 40k in its first released and then 11k on release that’s horrid!
The first week sales of her album and EP don’t even match the first week sales of Souled Out.
THE SHAME!
But how much has souled out and the new classic sold so far? Is souled out still charting? Ill wait
Comment deleted.
You’re not funny so I just emailed David to delete your comment.
What are you talking about dear?
Hopefully he deletes the s***!
God is going to get you for that
I see what Miss Garbaj is trying to do she wants to be the first rapper with a christmas number one album and it wont happen because taylor will crush her fake bleached self
Katy is Flopping so you have to cling to Slaylor.. Poor Katz your fave is a lessor to Slaylor.
Katy is flopping yet she is going to perform at the superbowl hmm yet her tour is the best selling tour by a female this year even beating on the run tour? Yeah i guess she is flopping stay mad b**** just pray that nicki doesn’t sell less than 200K first week
Queen Nicki DOMINANT, PROMINENT.
The Pinkprint > Legendary.
This album is a cohesive body of work. Much better then the last album even despite anaconda. It will sell big numbers and you haters will deal
All these flopped singles and still her fans will buy crap just because she’s a rap-porno star.her ego too big and her attitude stinks.use to be a fan but she getting real boring.nobody grown checking for dis album.only the so called ken barbz.
Every song in that Album is sick!! Though I liked Anaconda it just feels out of place compared to the other songs
my favorite is
1.Grand Piano
2.Four door Aventador
3.Anybody want to buy a heart
overall the Album is just really dope, super proud of Nicki
can’t wait for my Hard Copy
Lmao yall b****** still mad. F*** outta here. The queen always do numbers go listen to win again and Shanghai and want some more. B**** ripped it. Album comes out Monday!!!!!! Oh look at ya fav getting boo’d…check tmz!
But with 18 million instagram followers why did Roman Reloaded not even sell platinum in the states and not even 2 milli worldwide.. ???
Didn’t her last album underperform with a mega hit? Then how will the pink print fare with one cheap forgettable hit and several flops? Barbs are deeeelusional!!!
first off b**** she doent have 18 million followers on instagram you crack baby she has 13 and over a year ago she had less the 5 million you f**… dont matter 900,000 a gold album more then iggy b****.. you stay mad.. why you on a nicki minaj post if you not a fan? right b**** bye!
Well damn! Slay A LOT, Nicki! People love talking about the Queen even when they can’t stand her….they can’t help it!!! Secret fans are the best fans. 2014 has been a slayful year for Nicki and her album hasn’t even be fully released yet. Yaaaassssss.
Nicki stays winning!
Slay it!
Nicki minaj is doing her thing.
Yeah stripping like a hooker HaHa
The Pinkprint will sell 12.15.14
J Cole isn’t nearly as talked about but is expected to sell 335k-355k.
Sales or scandal? I know which I would prefer…
The fact that we even need to have this sales debate lol…
Nicki has been promoting TPP for over a year. A 200k debut would be less than stellar. I think she may sell in the 180k-200k range, but I really don’t know. I haven’t heard anyone talking about her album….
Not to burst anybody’s bubble but this is pretty standard stuff. Any artist who’s about to release an album or is poppin in any way, shape or form sees this kind of rise in social media attention. Don’t believe me? Use Topsy yourself to check the numbers next time Miley or Beyonce or Adele or Rihanna etc are about to drop albums. You don’t seriously think that each one of those 23 million or 195k or whatever are individual people do you? More like divide it by 3 and you may be getting closer to a real figure. And out of those, how many of them are talking about her because they dislike her instead of actually wanting to buy her album? Yeah, exactly.
This information is literally useless in predicting what kind of numbers The Pink Print will pull in. Although I hope she does well. I criticize her a lot but I appreciate that at least she’s trying to go for a more urban sound this time.
And I called it tbh. The fact that she would follow Lil Kim’s album formula to a T – Pink Friday was her Hardcore, Roman Reloaded was her pop-crossover just like Notorious K.I.M. and now the return to her hip hop roots just like La Bella Mafia. I’m not even hating tbh. The Naked Truth was Kim’s best record, meaning that if this trend continues, I might just stan for Nicki next era.
Exactly. Where was the post when Ultraviolence trended when it was said as the working title/announced/released?
This album has had terrible reviews in the press.I emailed some of the reviews to Sam but obviously he didn’t publish them!!!! Censorship???
Can y’all un-pin this post? Lol.
Pinkprint sales are about to be unimpressive.
Why the kids mad at Nicki? Nicki get life baby. Do you’re thing. I don’t have anything against Iggly and I wish her nothing but the best, but the way the media trying to make her this Rap Queen is a no no. No shade Nicki Slays her IMO. Fall Though Nicki!!!!!
All 23 million mentions are talking about how wack this new album is. Hip hop is dead for her.
Not Topsy though. What the f*** is a Topsy? At least use Google Trends.
I heard the album was flopping outside of the US. HDD will certainly be interesting on Tuesday/Wednesday. Still holding to my 150-180K prediction. Anything more and I’ll admit I’m wrong and move on. Anything worse Is absolutely tragic.
This is probably her Artpop/Bionic moment tbh. Too bad.
It’s gonna flop
I appreciate you sharing this blog article.Really looking forward to read more. Really Great.
