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!

    • rosy December 13, 2014

      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

      • ace December 13, 2014

        You right.her time up.and hella singles all flopped except anoconda

  3. rosy December 13, 2014

    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***

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 13, 2014

      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

  4. Rihanna #1 fan t December 13, 2014

    This has really been a good year for her.. So happy for her .. Go Nicki !! Can’t wait to see what 2015 brings her… !!

  5. IggyLongstocking December 13, 2014

    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.

    • Vegas Girl December 13, 2014

      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.

    • Jamie Maraj December 13, 2014

      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.

      • IggyLongstocking December 13, 2014

        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

  6. Moira Minajesty December 13, 2014

    This so f****** major! Nicki is a proven album seller so this means she’s gonna double slay with sales and the streams.

  7. AzealiaBankable December 13, 2014

    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?

  8. Nadia Maraj December 13, 2014

    Ooops. Not my fave about to slay lives with sales and views.

  9. Connor Spears December 13, 2014

    Monday can’t come soon enough 2bfh.

  10. Iggy on top December 13, 2014

    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****

    • Anonymous December 13, 2014

      Whoa! She was on ESPN?! That’s pretty cool.

  11. POOR Shittie Manja December 13, 2014

    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****!

    • OVORoxxy December 13, 2014

      “Only cos Drake and Wayne were in the video.”
      …The way Anaconda’s views are set up though…

      • POOR Shittie Manja December 13, 2014

        Oh honey she had to strip to get them hits.

      • OVORoxxy December 13, 2014

        And Pills n Potions?

  12. BarbBey December 13, 2014

    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.

  13. POOR Shittie Manja December 13, 2014

    Shittie Manja just looked like a W H O R E!

  14. Cursive December 13, 2014

    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.

    • BrunoMartian December 13, 2014

      Comparing Ciara to Nicki is stupid and you know it.

      • Cursive December 13, 2014

        I’m just using an example troll. These social media numbers mean jack s***. Miss me with it.

    • rosy December 13, 2014

      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

  15. BeyBeyKing December 13, 2014

    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.

  16. Pat December 13, 2014

    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!

    • Cursive December 13, 2014

      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.

      • Pat December 13, 2014

        Guh bye! All of this hating, lol.

  17. DanYiel Teflon December 13, 2014

    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!!

  18. Mark111 December 13, 2014

    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

    • Cursive December 13, 2014

      HAAAA!!! You the man!

    • Google “Picture of a GOAT with microphone” and RIHANNA POPS UP…no seriously. December 13, 2014

      Said the loose booty f**.

  19. Kitty Puurrzz December 13, 2014

    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.

    • OVORoxxy December 13, 2014

      I hope Iggy wasn’t mentioned more than her. If she was you would have to explain why Reclassified only sold 11k.

      • Lana Tropicana December 13, 2014

        Eauxkai!!!

      • ontherun December 13, 2014

        LMAO!!

      • Kitty Puurrzz December 13, 2014

    • Pat December 13, 2014

      Guh bye!

  20. Stinky December 13, 2014

  21. Pat December 13, 2014

    • FashionIconNika December 13, 2014

      Nice try, but we already know and are STILL gonna buy it.

  22. Islandboi242 December 13, 2014

    YOU IGGY FANS REALLY SHOULDNT TALK WHEN THE ALBUM DID 40k in its first released and then 11k on release that’s horrid!

    • Loco4Aiko December 13, 2014

      The first week sales of her album and EP don’t even match the first week sales of Souled Out.
      THE SHAME!

      • Prismatic December 13, 2014

        But how much has souled out and the new classic sold so far? Is souled out still charting? Ill wait

      • Stephy December 13, 2014

  24. Prismatic December 13, 2014

    • BeyxMaraj December 13, 2014

  25. We Found Rihanna December 13, 2014

  26. BeyxMaraj December 13, 2014

    The Pinkprint > Legendary.

  27. ontherun December 13, 2014

    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

  28. ace December 13, 2014

    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.

  29. Athena December 13, 2014

    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

  32. Monyetta Hill December 13, 2014

    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!!!

  33. queenonika December 13, 2014

  35. @Matt_Phoenixx December 13, 2014

    Nicki stays winning!
    Slay it!

  36. ThePinkPrint12.15.2014 December 13, 2014

    Nicki minaj is doing her thing.

    • Wtf December 13, 2014

      Yeah stripping like a hooker HaHa

  37. We Found Rihanna December 13, 2014

    The Pinkprint will sell 12.15.14

  38. Unbiased December 13, 2014

    J Cole isn’t nearly as talked about but is expected to sell 335k-355k.
    Sales or scandal? I know which I would prefer…

  39. Bossassbitch December 13, 2014

    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….

  40. BLACKOUT TBH December 13, 2014

    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.

    • Rosie December 14, 2014

      Exactly. Where was the post when Ultraviolence trended when it was said as the working title/announced/released?

  41. whenindoubtthetruthwillout December 13, 2014

    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???

  42. Jackie December 13, 2014

    Can y’all un-pin this post? Lol.

    Pinkprint sales are about to be unimpressive.

  43. RICHIE_RICH December 13, 2014

    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!!!!!

  44. The Truth Emeritus December 14, 2014

    All 23 million mentions are talking about how wack this new album is. Hip hop is dead for her.

  45. Rosie December 14, 2014

    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.

  46. J December 14, 2014

    This is probably her Artpop/Bionic moment tbh. Too bad.

  47. Harry styles boo December 14, 2014

    It’s gonna flop

  48. fishinglovers December 16, 2014

    I appreciate you sharing this blog article.Really looking forward to read more. Really Great.
