Its global sales may be dire , but any hoping Nicki Minaj‘s ‘The Pinkprint‘ would tank in the USA will be pressed and distressed when they learn that it’s doing the exact opposite.
Good news below…
After ‘Hits Daily Double’ reported that the album had opened at the 251,000 units mark, ‘Billboard’ revealed that the project had in fact shifted 244,000 units, extending her lead as the only female rapper to open with no less than 200,000 units with three albums consecutively.
Now, as her Hip Hop bop ‘Only’ cruises towards US sales of 400,000 units, the last week has seen ‘The Pinkprint‘ move 104,000 units in the US alone.
Now sat at #2, the album’s second week sales figure is set to rise when streams are thrown into the mix.
Fortunately for Minaj, ‘Pink’ can now be expected to reach Gold status within the first eight weeks of its release, likely to reach the milestone within this period even if streams weren’t coupled with traditional purchases set to take it there.

The queen would still reach gold even if streams weren’t counted! The worldwide sale will pick up soon too
i don’t think they will. she has no promo in line for european stuff, which is sad.
an A&R from the label was fuming on twitter, saying she desperately wanted to handle the marketing herself. it backfired, but the album in itself is decent.
whether or not it goes platinum, i’ll still bump to it.
Your fave fistopher is no where on the charts may I summon the SWAT team on it?
If her album wasn’t on Spotify she would have sold a lot more and been closer to gold.
She will get to 500,000 in actual sales before she starts the US leg of her tour.
Haters fall back.
Unlike some artists,
Nicki has a strong work ethic and will continue to promote her CD until it hits gold.
these are not Billboard 200 numbers, they’re from HDD. Billboard will probably be different.
and the B200 have the streams counting too, so she’ll probably be highter than #5 lol get your facts right
Honey she FLOP!!! FACE IT!!
gurl. 191k without streams is a flop.
i like the bish, but i can call a spade as it is.
I wish her all the best though, no hate.
The album is nice.
You talk like it’s still 04. To get over 100k first week is an accomplishment for most artist even those at the top.
B**** quit hatin how is 191 a flop without strings included
These numbers are still FLOP numbers, TGJ needs to STOP!!!!! Y’all tried tho
They are still better than Cheap to Flop numbers.
And Artpop first week sales are better than UnaFLOP first week numbers.
But its #2 on the billboard200 i just looked
bish, go back to bed.
It is you f** heres the link to billboard and ut CLEARLY says #2 http://m.billboard.com/v/ChartAlbums/Billboard889
Biitch it OPENED AT NUM 2!!! THE SECOND WEEK IT WILL B AT 5. READ U HO!!!
It is 300,000 plus in pure sales. You haters will continue to seethed!!!!
*seethe
And u continue to goto hell
I also like nicki. But I will not celebrate such flop numbers. The PinkShit is the most promoted album on earth, it should be platinum by now (with all that promo). Y’all need to stop the mediocrity
The biggest flop numbers where scanned by your fave and her artpop 700k in the US
.
Her album of the century tho
.
Her puke
.
Her GUY
.
Her Microsoft Paint editted mug by Madonna
.
Her flop to flop album with that 107 year old man
.
Her DEADpop
.
😆
Huh ? Gaga’s label spent 25M to promote artflop. Stfu. N ure just mad bc TPs second week SALES (without streams included) r higher than artpops.
if I can recall correctly Roman reloaded did 600,000 was certified platinum just based off the queens name alone that was before stream counted this album will be gold by January and platinum by the end of the summer. Watch all she has to do is tour
Coming from a Gaga stan. 25 million. LB come drag this THOT. Lol
You guys still really believe those 25 million for promo??? LMAO How retarded. If so, then Katy Perry´s or Nicki Minaj´ budget was the same too judging by their promo campaigns.
@truth serum stop stealing my comment.
THESE ARE NOT BILLBOARD NUMBERS
Ease up on them caps lock its New Year’s Eve tonight 🙂
Seems like streaming is saving her. I’m sure you guys will make streaming a huge factor when Rihanna releases. #biased
AJAJA!!!!!
.
which poor African country are you from?
Streaming isnt included. 104k with sales only.
Tell theses fools. They are in some kind of denial, she selling and the haters will deal.
Very good numbers for second week!
Why the let this underperformed internationally? Shame, the album is good.
So is that 104K in sales or 104k in sales + streams? And I don’t think these are Billboard numbers which will most likely be lower.
Overall 104K in the second week, if they are sales, is pretty good IMO.
Not bad, but I bet her label has already paid the RIAA for a Gold certification. They have no faith in her.
Like no one has any in you in you family?
.
Have you mopped the McD toilets yet?
O_o
Really B****?!?!?
#BackToSchoolHoe
Lol I’ll Laugh & keep the “Pink Shrimp” a float I purchased 2 songs off the album the Rest I’ll PASS ON!! Good Luck folks…
Tragic! Will end up going platinum due to shipments and streaming
That will bring her total sales to around 298k. Sales drop drastically after Christmas, so I wish her the best of luck. I foresee a slow struggle to 500k.
It will bring her total sales to 300k.
198 + 104 = 302. Billboard acknowledged their 1st mistake and corrected it to 198.
thank you David!!
@cake like gaga…u said ulike Nicki and Still called it pinkshit but u remember art pop second week sales right?
@catfish… it will reach gold while u are whining about BB numbers… when billboard said 194k but the official sales was 198k…
@Maurice u guys an a&r consultant? jaywaninc …a guy that sells beats for $2…it is confirmed the guy is a kim fan and he said he is using it for news…how is TPP a flop for republic records? when she is bringing in money more than the other acts sees Ariana grande Jessie j etc. ..
……..and the pink print is getting more sales from download instead/ morethan of physical copies!!!!
the pink print sales in US will probably help in WW sales were it actually maters..and she would go on tour so the slayprint isn’t going anywhere.
atleast she is doing twice if Iggys opening 50k in her 2nd week
302k(without streams) >>>>420k(months)
but David how dare u say eight weeks=2months in sales!!! when with streams we approximately have 140k to go..and with God it’ll we go gold in second week of January….*waits for bey-minaj , truth tetrum, faf
I called David out his name the other day but he can’t take them kinda insults so he deleted my comment twice. I like David really, I just like taunting him more. He needs some thick skin. Like I said earlier it will go gold by the end of January, possible before in pure sales.
this girl did a lady Gaga “born this way” with her PF:RR , the blame is on them
.
except PP >>>>>> Artpop
.
all the best nicki, you more talented than 70% male rappers
This is arguably the most hyped artist of 2014, along with Taylor. Those numbers are underwhelming
it such an irony when a Katy perry fan, rihanna fan (both i dearly love)etc talk about first week sales
@Lb without streams
@danyirl Teflon… I said it the most confused human on earth(that’s if you are human)…nickis music is trash but you bought two songs?
@angel aguilera….d same people that said upon the Christmas season.. she couldn’t sell above 198k are the same ones that talk about Xmas helping sales…how does her album involve in Xmas?
@prismatic off course it will end up doing those by the grace if God an you will seeth”
@I Stan for talent (irony) how do they not have faith in her and still collect her certification…..
to Nicki haters, remember that nicki get her platinum certification before the actual sales role in….and TPP will likely sell gold….so I’ll sit here and watch the seething!!!
reminiscent: second highest hip hop/ female debut of 2014… 🙂
but on a serious note!!!! why the seething?
Try replying to people individually you hoē. What a mess. *Yawns*
Not you pressed faggotts comparing Artpop to the PinkShit when Artpop opened with HIGHER numbers. Artpop sales alone outsold PinkShit sales + streams.. And Artpop is gold, headed to platinum, Pinkshit will be lucky to get a copper certification.
DEADpop died on the journey to platinum land
.
700k and downwards
.
🙂
When will T********* sell 1m in her first week? 😀
All her albums has sold that in the US and your fave’s
Rihanna will do a MILLION 1st week. I love Nicki but when will Beyoncè?
You mean 180k sales and 820k streams?
.
If so, I agrees with you Nazi
yasssssss go in and let have
Delusional! She will sell around 200k and take a year to go platinum.
LMFAOOOO. Keep dreaming child.
Yeah. Like T********* getting a no.1 hit on the hot 100. Oops, did I just say that… #KeepDreaming
A hit dog will holla.
Why is @Career Struggle occupying my reply box more than Musica Store? 7/11 is struggling, yet the H.IV+ is more concerned with my posts on this low budget ghetto site? LOL at my impact
Never drop that deadpop copy, man im spinning, my hands up
.
Seven eleven , seven twice, DEADpop
Did someone say Rihanna will do a million in 1st week sales???? Hahahahaha lmfao, I swear you guys get dumber and dumber by the day. No shade to Rih but she can’t even do 500k let alone 300k with a huge inescapable number 1 hit. Focus on Rihanna slaying the hot 100(which I know she’ll do) and leave blockbuster 1st week sales to Taylor, Bey etc.
Gaga still have fans?
All her albums has sold that in the US and your fave’s?
I see troll like lady gaga is back to her old tricks again. I’d worry about artpuke scanning platinum a year + later after its released. Cumm to cumm is still not gold as well yet you’re here trying to start shiit. Honey those Nigerian diicks in Yeoville won’t suck themselves.
You’re not even a real swifty you just hiding behind her name just so you have receipts and so you don’t get dragged pathetic!
I don’t associate myself with stans whose faves are Grammyless. And worry about Tittie Perry not embarrassing herself come next year’s SB.
“Cumm to cumm”
.
“Nigerian d**** in Yeoville”
.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
.
😆
Girl bye! You should worry about who Slutlor Swift is gonna f*** so she has enough songs and material for her next material.
The kii is that she got deflowered by Jake Gyllenhaal then got dumped like a hot potatoe the next day lol
Gurll you don’t want to go there. Not when Payola Perry is currently the joke of the town for dating Riff Raff. Not when Basic Perry dated a f** whose now with Karl Lagerfeld. Not when Tittie Perry’s ex husband is trashing her on social media claiming he don’t know know her. The kii of it all. Not when Katy fuccked Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes for I kissed a girl back in 08. FYI Taylor’s last relationship was in late 2012 with Harry Styles. Since last year and this year she’s been single and focusing on her successful career. When it comes to relationships, my gurll has better taste. I mean really Russell Brand, Riff Raff, Travis McCoy against Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal lmfao FOH #Dismissed
Khayelitsha rat,when will you stop stanning for the BeyHive and start stanning for your irrelevant fave?
Lol the struggle is real.
Like the Elusive Chanteau?
No like Rihanna’s walls
Did I send for you??? It’d do you good to wait for your formal invitation before coming for me. Thread lightly with me lil girl, for I will not hesitate to drag and read you and your faves for filth.
@cake like gaga u guys should death lmaoo what of cheek to cheek? pls don’t tell mr jazz album when u constantly compare a rap album with a pop album..
@G4l u guys compare Nicki to a pop star when it is convenient for you….how is Nicki more hyped? the same people that said Iggy overshadowed Nicki on her first week?
I can’t wait for the day RIAA will certify it platinum…. u will seeth and seeth lmao
u guys will still start comparing Nicki to Beatles soon
happy new year…raise your hand if u haven’t go r gold in 5-9months..lmao
happy new year #barbz
David be warned 🙁
Are you Sybil’s alter ego?
.
Damn girl-boy, your essays are giving me Sybil’s t’s
You better say it @ok. Lol
This post is a mess like my faves vocals dahhhlings
Flop ass hoee
.
Stephy changed username and gravatar. Up Your trolling game
.
Tsk
No messy like my fave’s Career
http://m.billboard.com/v/ChartAlbums/Billboard889 her album is #2 this is the link to billboard
McDonald’s??? Really Biitch??? LOL!!!! Not that reused and recycled poor attempted at scraping. And again with the poor grammar. Damn Mr. struggles. Not even that 3 month Level 4 short course at FET college did you any justice.
New year’s eve is not a holiday. Shouldn’t you be at a taxi rank selling Barbequed chicken feet and gizzards and yelling “Mayo, zimba chips.” LMAO!!!! Get them coins boy. The rent is coming. I’d hate for you to be evicted and be homeless in a neighborhood full of r*** jailbirds and Nigerians who solicits girls for s**.
You truly have a problem and in genuine need of help.
God help you.
Oh, Hi Career Struggles.
I tell you, when David reads… He reads!!!! Pink print is an awesome album and it will be gold in a few weeks.
Ummmm lol firstly, I’m still waiting for billboard numbers. TGJ will be dragging Rihanna’s stream numbers but praising Onika’s the hypocrisy. Nicki will really be struggling to scan platinum this era, this is a huge underperformance after being hyped since 2012.
Did you read the post, he clearly said sales. HDD numbers are usually prett close to Billboard.
i honestly not worrying about them numbers,because the album is so good in my opinion, i am enjoying the pink print so much.if people love it the way i do i strongly believe they will support it overtime time.and from what i am seeing so far they are doing so slowly but surely.
Her 1st week of actual sales of her album was definitely less than 200k..It waws 195k to be exact. and then 50k stream this site need to stop with the fake numbers to make her look better…all the other sites got the real numbers
the pinkprint actually did 198k first week so you can go away now
Which is still not 200k. You can go d***** your prolapsed a*** now, sissy.
I just sit back and laugh at all these idiots calling this album a flop. Billboard acknowledged it as a success, as did every other media outlet. 300K in PURE SALES in 2 weeks is a success.And that tired line about streams saving her is even more idiotic, being that she’s selling almost 3 times as much as she’s streaming. You clowns need to just admit that you’re mad because she’s not flopping, and she’s outselling that other rap girl who still hasn’t reached Gold despite having one of the biggest singles of the year. At least that would be honest instead of trying to convince people that Nicki’s album is a “flop”, because you’re the only idiots that think so. Numbers don’t lie, only sore losers do.
Nicki is somewhere celebrating her success, and you people are…here. Talking about her. Let that sink in for a minute.
This is a joke. The album is selling at a discounted rate of only 7.99 in its second week. That’s why the numbers seem high.. Check your retail outlets like HMV
Lies. I just checked HMV for the digital download and it’s currently at £10.99 which is $17.14 in US dollars for the STANDARD EDITION. Sit.
I went to the store and the physical copy is selling for 7.99
Kind of sad this early. Reminds me of the art flop era
@Music expert ummm even if it was £7.99 that’s in POUNDS which translates to $12.49, that’s still a regularly priced album. What are you getting on?
why are you lying you dirty a$$ bish
At the store right now and took a pic for the non believers..
These numbers are pretty basic for such an artist that is labelled a Queen.
Now, I do agree that 100 thousand of anything is a lot but that changes when it trickles down to blogs and general public conversation about music.
I remeber when my fave was five years in and she was enjoying a reign of multi platinum/ diamond status. You all can go and say that she flops now but her title still reads One of the biggest selling felmale artist EVER and her numbers prove it.
Nikki should be doing higher than this. I mean, 1989 did, Beyonce did, Adele did and these are the hot girls of today. Nikki is in this Hotness category and she should be doing HOT numbers. This here is very mediocre at the most.
I’m not going to discount her sales or anything, but why do you Mooriah stans keep bringing up her numbers from the early 90s?? Fans had no choice but to buy albums in the 90s. There was no INTERNET! No STREAMING! No YOUTUBE! No TORRENTS! Just physical CDs, cassettes, TV performances and radio. Also Nicki Minaj may have a great deal of pop appeal, but she is a RAPPER whom is not very kid-friendly. I agree, Nicki SHOULD be doing higher than this. But it’s impressive for a female rapper who’s only in her third album. I’ve said this before, Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Beyonce’s self-titled albums did so well because of the ways they were released. Slaylor’s album is not available to be streamed anywhere not even Youtube. Beyonce’s album had a surprise release on iTunes where people had no choice but to purchase it digitally. Nicki’s album was stream almost 17 million times in the first week. Imagine how many sales she might have had if she didn’t release it on Spotify like Slaylor.
Uhm but streams didn’t form part of album sales the time Taylor dropped her album so your point is kinda null and void
We bring up Mariah’s sales because, none of your faves are pulling in the numbers she set for someone else to break. Just because it was the past doesn’t mean it’s not relevant today for if any one of these chicks did outsell MARIAH, you all would cling to that and use it against her. So we as fans remind you lessors of what your fave should be doing. *sips that legendary tea and waits for someone else to finally break that record*
You CANNOT compare an album from the 90s to an album from the 2010s without sounding stupid.
Ahaaaa fellow lamb.
The album is doing well. Nickis still winning so it don’t matter.
The shops were pushing tinashes album muh harder then the pinkprint in the uk im not even joking. With better promo worldwide this album would fare much better
She should be doing well internationally once she promotes outside the U.S.
International sales are most likely to be big when there’s lots of exposure for the actual material that you’re trying to sell. Obviously Nicki is big outside of the U.S and people outside the U.S probably know that she has a new album out but the GP are not aware of the substantial material the album comprises of because they are not exposed to it through live performances n such. That’s just my thought. There’s only so much that social media can do for you to create Buzz.
Some people don’t use Twitter nor YouTube but they watch T.V.
I was stunned by How many ppl were Like “Wait, she had an album with videos for every song?” When Bey decided to release all of the videos on YouTube a year later. Lots of People still were not aware of what happened on Dec.13. Lmao
Yup she’s beginning her Pinkrprint tour with Trey Songz in Europe so her sales will definitely see an increase. Especially when she promotes/performs The Night Is Still Young… you know that that type of music is very popular in the UK
Actually for its second week didn’t it sell 156,000 copies without streams included? And it currently sits at #2. Either way. SLAY, QUEEN ONIKA ALMOST GOLD IN 2 WEEKS.
104K without streams.
It was Xmas so those sales are expected. It will go gold, no question, and I’m not mad since it’s a decent album (forced to listen by a friend, deluxe should be ~7 tracks shorter though). I’m just wondering how her sales will be in Q1 since we all know how horrid sales are until around April/May.
Still don’t think she will do 1M worldwide though.
Whitney > Aretha > Celine > Pattie > Mary

I think it’s time to call MJB a legend. She has a solid fanbase and stay true to her craft.
I agree, she has got a solid fanbase and a long career. She has for the most part in her career, been a consistent album seller. Time to give her her dues and respect IMO, she has earned it.
YAAAAAAS FOR ARETHA & WHITNEY
Just did my math based on the overall numbers this week and last week. So 244k + 156k = 400k (streams included) in 2 weeks? SLAY, ONIKA.
I’m surprised she’s not doing well in the UK, since they love hip hop. But maybe they only like 90’s hip hop.
Swift’s 1989 also leads the Top Album Sales chart for a seventh frame, selling 326,000 copies (down 2 percent).
1989 is selling like no album has in the past 10 years. It has sold more than 200,000 copies in each of its first nine weeks on sale — a feat not managed since the spring of 2004. Usher’s Confessions was the last album to sell as consistent, moving more than 200,000 in each of its first nine frames (ending with the sales week of May 23, 2004).
omg taylor is slaying everyone!
ALLISON BETTER SLAY!
If 1989 goes Diamond I will jump into the Pacific Ocean
Why so much smoke and mirrors and confusion when it comes to Nickis sales?
Album won’t go platinum
And where’s Keri’s album?? *searching for Keri in the BB200*
Album streams are UGLY! Billboard needs to stop that. If ya ass flop then ya FLOP!
album streaming doesnt go into the sales dumbass
Good for her. She need to start being humble. She’s way too cocky for a newbie.
But anyway congratulations Nicki minaj!!!
Year End Sales:
The New Classic 441,000
Pink Print 348,000
Broke with Expensive Taste 23,000
lol at J Cole quietly sh*tting on Gimmicky Minaj. Barely no promo, not 4 singles deep and not hoeing himself in videos for streams.
Shut up already!!! J Cole’s albums have always sold well. He has 3 NUMBER 1 ALBUMS. He even outsold KANYE WEST last year. Stop acting like J Cole is a novelty artist who doesn’t have any promotion. His name promotes itself.
Billboard 200: #2 @NICKIMINAJ, The Pinkprint 156,000 (105,000 in sales | 303,000 total sales).
