‘The Pinkprint’: Nicki Minaj First Week Predictions To Be Revised Following Stocking Drama?

Published: Tuesday 16th Dec 2014 by David

Today, fans of ‘Bed of Lies’ performer Nicki Minaj learned that her new album ‘The Pinkprint‘ was to debut at #1 on the ‘Billboard 200’ with an opening figure close to the 180,000 mark.

Modest when compared to units  moved by the rapper’s earlier releases, the prediction was published ‘Hits Daily Double‘ who used first day numbers as the basis for their projection.

However, it would seem said numbers may soon find themselves revised thanks to a stocking issue brought to light by her fan base.

Full story below…

While tradition sees most US releases drop on a Tuesday, Minaj surprised some industry spectators last month when she announced she was launch ‘Pink’ on Monday December 15th.

However, it would seem this decision may be to blame for ‘Hits’ prediction. For today has seen a number of the rapper’s fans take to Twitter to reveal that they were unable to purchase the album when they attempted to do so from a number of ‘Targets’, ‘Best Buys‘ and ‘Walmarts‘ across the country.

Horrified? Minaj was too, taking to Twitter to announce:

That’s right, if ‘Pink‘s prediction seemed impossibly low for the rapper…it’s because it was, published before a number of major retailers had even stocked the release!

After learning of the above, some now expect her projected figure to be revised, taking the above drama into account.

Quite interestingly, Minaj’s position atop female Rap’s who’s who list would remain unshaken even if she did move the amount published here.

How? Peep the list of the lowest selling opening figures scored by female rap releases to drop within the last two years.

Eve – Lip Lock (8,600 units).’

Iggy Azalea – ‘Reclassified (11,000 units)’

Azealia Banks – ‘Broke With Expensive Taste (11,165 units)’

Nicki Minaj – ‘ Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (253,000 units).’

    Again dumb ass reporting. Sales are based on what was shipped to stores. Stores know what they have in stock and a day is neither here nor there with physical sales. Her numbers weren’t low predictions rather they reflect someone who’s hype precedes them.

    • OnikaSaidJump December 16, 2014

      How is it dumb reporting when Target acknowledge they don’t have the album on shelves? King David already acknowledged the sales were lower than they should be on twitter but it feels like your wide ass is forgetting that Nicki’s lowest sales are 12 times bigger than Iggy’s.

      • AJ December 16, 2014

        Why the f*** does everyone have to bring Iggy into it? I get appeals to teenage girls.. nicki appeals to the pink pound mainly. Different target customers. All I’m saying is its crap reporting.

        As for you – go and get educated then someone might take you seriously. Right now you’re coming across as more hood than Keyshia Cole!

      • OnikaSaidJump December 16, 2014

        Are those the same teenage girls who forgot to buy TNC and Reclassified? And when it comes to “ghetto”? Let’s not, because I spoke just as articulately as YOU did sweetie.
        Oh, and when it comes to you being mad that TGJ reported an actual fact? Sucks when hating fails doesn’t it?

      • FAF December 16, 2014

        nothing new RIAA will still certify platinum.. whats next? still outselling everyone else in the last 10 yrs in female rap and probably before that, as well

      • The Truth Emeritus December 16, 2014

        It was in target in my city. Sounds like another excuse. Beyonce broke the Internet with an album only on iTunes for weeks. What’s Tricky Garbages excuse now?

    • VisionofMimi December 17, 2014

      Iggy sold 14k? That’s a lie and you know it. If she sold 14k why didn’t she make the top 50 when the lowest selling album that week sold 13k? Let’s not tell lies here ok? HDD are the ones who reported that she did those numbers so I don’t know where you get your info from.

    A few stores will not make that much of a difference. How delusional lmfao.

    • Miaa December 16, 2014

      Are you dumb? those are the biggest selling album stores. How DELUSIONAL of you. The album is basically only on iTunes, take away all 3 of those stores & see how many people’s albums sell w/ just iTunes & Google Play.

      • Facts December 16, 2014

  4. Bryant December 16, 2014

    Why is there always a ”stocking’ issue with her albums? Didn’t this happen with PFRRR?

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. December 16, 2014

      She uses “stocking issues” to explain her low sales. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! FLOP!

      • Cupid December 16, 2014

        180k is certainly not low in today’s music market.

      • Arianator Barb December 16, 2014

        Didn’t la Bella mafia debut with less over a decade ago when albums actually sold? And you call Nicki a flop?! Lolololololol

      • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. December 16, 2014

        The Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim has never been a big first-week seller, but what the Queen of Rap has that Flopnika doesn’t is CONSISTENCY IN SALES!!!!! La Bella Mafia went platinum in two months. Flopnika won’t go gold with the Pink Slip AT ALL!!!!!! By the way, La Bella Mafia sold 166k in the first week. The Pink Slip will sell 155k. Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

  5. CATFISH CAREY December 16, 2014

    OH I AM SO ENJOYING THE MELTDOWNS ON TWITTER.

    GIRL BYE! I’M SURE PINK PRINT WOULD PROBABLY DAYVIEW With less numbers and Sam youre stupid the predictions were already counting the shipments gurllllllll sit down lmaoo I can’t

    • whut December 16, 2014

      Um, “dayview”? Lmao

  7. TheElusiveLamb December 16, 2014

    Near 200k is good (not amazing) for her though. It’s a ROUGH climate atm, so I’ll stand alone and say congrats.

  8. Tyler December 16, 2014

    Yeah I’m Icy, But I’m Prayin For Some More Snow.

  9. Lil kim (The Queen of push backs and pay pal honey and flop mixtapes) December 16, 2014

    even her worst sales are better then those other rap girls tbh

  10. 2 girls 1 cup December 16, 2014

    I predict the numbers will be less 150 but even tho If she manages 165k that’s a flop with all that booty popping and all that promotion and yes bitxhhhhhh before yall h*** come to me Christina is a flop but she has make her mark in music she ain’t got nothing to worry about so don’t even try it with me

    • Kitty December 16, 2014

      selling over 100k at anything is not a flop sis, let’s see you try and move 100k units

      • 2 girls 1 cup December 16, 2014

        Honey with all that promotion that she did and all that gimmick 165k is not a good for a stablish rapper that she is the fact that she can’t even pull 200k shows that her music is really not in demand and I’ll be fair 165k it’s not Atrocious but it’s not good either I would have been less critical if she wouldn’t have promoted and done no gimmick

    • Tyler December 16, 2014

      Your user name…why?

    • The Truth Emeritus December 16, 2014

      She’s been flopping every album after the first.It keeps getting worse and worse. She promoted this album for two years and this is the outcome. Charts terrible and low album sales equals washed up.

  11. Well damn December 16, 2014

    LOL! 🙂

  12. X/Arua December 16, 2014

    So those numbers are only from 1 day of sales?

  13. BLACKOUT TBH December 16, 2014

    Still won’t surpass 200k tbh.
    If it happened in a few stores it doesn’t make a difference whatsoever. If it happened in a lot of stores then people will just buy it online which is where most of the sales come from anyway so again – it won’t make a difference.
    In other news: am I the only one that still laughs at the fact that Iggy had a number 1 record yet Azealia’s album (which is amazing btw, support a struggling b**** by buying it – it’s incredible) outsold her even though she’s not signed to a major label and has no fans in the GP? LMAO.

    • Proctor December 16, 2014

      Higher than Britney Jean tho. LMAO!

      • BLACKOUT TBH December 16, 2014

        That’s right. Britney Jean opened with 107k and as far as I’m concerned it should have opened with less. It’s a terrible album and it doesn’t belong in Britney’s discography. I’m not delusional as a Britney fan. I’m objective. So you coming for me makes no difference. I wasn’t even coming for Nicki. But I could so spare yourself the embarrassment of having your wig annihilated by someone who has been around stanning for pop royalty since the 90’s. I’m the chief commander of the Britney Army b****. Don’t f**k with the ranks.

      • Diamond Chantause December 16, 2014

        Nicki’s 3rd Album – Promo EVERYWEEK

        Britney’s EIGTH Album – Severe lack of promo. (over 100K)

    • POR December 16, 2014

      Iggys reissue sold 14k, and the original album also did 14k, this “article” is highly inaccurate. Plus they should’ve used Iggy’s debut 54k from back in April and not a reissue, or Nicki’s lowest would be Re-Up’s 36k.

      Nickis album is also predicted to do 150k, not 180k lmfao the bias this website is such trash with wrong info

      • BLACKOUT TBH December 16, 2014

        @POR Fair enough. I was clearly misguided with my Iggy comment. Thanks for setting it straight, I Googled your figures and you sir, know what you’re talking about 😉

  18. Barbie’s World™ December 16, 2014

    She’s done better then a lot of people who released this year. I’m still trying to figure out how opening up with 100k+ is a bad thing?

    • Facts December 16, 2014

      When you had one of the biggest pop record of the years, performed on the biggest awards stages, appeared overseas to HOST a big awards show ad perform twice on each major award show. Recieve promo from TOP celebs and even recogition from BEYONCE and you tell me alllll you sold was 150k????????? FLOPPPPPPPPPPPP

    David you are the motherfucking KANG! The KANG!! You better hit them with the truth tea! Nicki should be doing more but she’s outselling these girls even at her worst.

  22. Stephy December 16, 2014

    I called it. Her SOUND-SCAN numbers will be 165K. She will struggle for Gold & suffer constipation trying to reach Platinum. Good album tho. The 2nd best Rap album this year for me.

  23. BeyBeyKing December 16, 2014

    Damn! Iggy did 11k? Isn’t that like ten times less than 100k? I was never good at math.

  24. Dossome December 16, 2014

    None of these barbz predicted anything less than 250k first week (some were even going as far as 500k) so to turn around and call these numbers “slaying” even after factoring in the time,money and hype camp Nicki and her label have spent on this project is just hilarious to watch.Bringing up Azealia Banks and Eve’s 1st week sales (knowing fully well those two are independent artists who spent close to nothing to promote their music) is just stupid.

    • JanetXone December 16, 2014

  34. PaulAllahSlaydul December 16, 2014

  36. Dark_King December 16, 2014

    That’s Interesting because it’s common Knowledge that Iggy’s The New Classic sold 52k it’s first week. Nicki Is cool, but you don’t have to make any other talented act seem lesser just to try to make someone else look better.

    • Tyler December 16, 2014

      Would Iggy really be considered a talented act in comparison though?

      • Dark_King December 16, 2014

        She was talented enough to get signed and out sell more established female rappers.And that’s no shade that’s truth,and I love my girl EVE.Also that is crap as far as low figures.Where is Angel Haaze & Riff Raff?

      • Tyler December 16, 2014

        That wasn’t my question thought. Lyrically, can Iggy compete with the likes of Nicki, Azealia, or a veteran like Eve?

      • Tyler December 16, 2014

        *though

    • KissMeKaty December 16, 2014

      But 52k is still three times as less as Nicki’s lowest sales and talent? Can we not. Even Iggy admitted her manager had to convince the industry to take her seriously TWO YEARS after she came out.

    • TRUTH SERUM December 16, 2014

      Didn’t you say you were tired of Nicki in the last 20 post??? Why are you still here lifeless troll?

    • BeyxMaraj December 16, 2014

      This Teflon f** be stanning for Nicki so hard it ain’t even real.

  52. SCHEISSETHRONED(GRAPEJUICEKING) December 16, 2014

    iTunes, Amazon, so many online formats for fans to buy albums if they cannot find physical copies. Stop with the excuses Barbz. She Flopped. We live in a DIGITAL age! Physical sales are almost obsolete! After all the embarrassing naked plastic stunts pulled… she couldn’t even outsell J.Cole. #BYE

    You don’t want people to reply to your comments…in a comment section.
    YOU HAVE NO CASE

  54. Theman December 16, 2014

    These numbers are decent.. But she should be in the 200k arena.. Also, digital albums certainly do not always outsell physical albums. Singles are completely different from albums..

  55. nicko December 16, 2014

    1. 160k is great. Most artists cant even sell 100k, including uggly n lil k**. 2. The album will sell more, predictions change everyday n they can be wrong sometimes.

  56. Sherry December 16, 2014

    LOL. I said she wouldn’t sell 200k, yet some delusional folks were saying 500k. Here comes the excuses…

    • BeyxMaraj December 16, 2014

      And what excuse are you giving for that sagging face, Grandma?

      • Sherry December 16, 2014

        LMAO, sooooo predictable. I may be a grandma but your fav is a FLOP. How did JCole outsell her with NO promo? Are you mad or nah? 😆

  57. Devante December 16, 2014

    It’s only BEEN one F******. day!

    • Sherry December 16, 2014

      Predictions are rarely off. She will sell exactly what they predicted. 🙂

  58. POR December 16, 2014

    Iggys reissue sold 14k, and the original album also did 14k same week = 28k overall for the reissue, this “article” is highly inaccurate. Plus they should’ve used Iggy’s debut 54k from back in April and not a reissue, or Nicki’s lowest would be Re-Up’s 36k.

    Nickis album is also predicted to do 150k, not 180k lmfao the bias this website is such trash with wrong info

  59. BeyxMaraj December 16, 2014

    This fuxckes better fix this mess and give us real Minaj predictions.

  60. The Truth Emeritus December 16, 2014

    I knew they’d find a reason. So they didn’t have stock in what two stores? Girl bye.your album wasn’t even number one on usa iTunes and still isn’t today! This was her last shot. So sorry.

  61. The Truth Emeritus December 16, 2014

    I could see if you’re a quality artist and making just okay sells but she’s garbage all,around and sells are subpar.

  62. SWIFTer December 16, 2014

    Kii I am waiting for Nicki to throw a hissy fit and make 1000 excuses. She’s a flop. No way around it. 4 singles, countless gimmicks, promoting everywhere and she can’t even push 190k!!!! It will be a true kii if D’Angelo outsells her! Where are the barbs??? Come out of hiding!!

  63. JOHNVIDAL December 16, 2014

    I´m not saying these numbers are going to be a flop, cause they aren´t, in this climate and with the industry damaged forever they aren´t. BUT it´s nothing impressive either. She´s basically appealing to all the pop market too, and the campaign for the album has been the longest I´ve ever witnessed, like two whole years of promo non stop, she´s always there with lots of features constantly, she wa son Idol, she´s been everywhere for months and she has had several singles already, and obviously one of her videos was the type of porno people like nowadays from these models so she had lots of views, which adds to popularity and now (sadly) chart positions and sales. Nothing impressive, not a flop either. She just won´t be any type of memorable artist decades from now (like Prince, now that some people mentioned him in this post).

  64. Kingofhearts December 16, 2014

    THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY TGJ IS SHADY. WHY COMPARE IGGYS RE-RELEASE TO FULL LENGTH ALBUMS.. CAUSE IF THATS THE CASE WHY DIDNT YALL PUT NICKIS RE-RELASE OF 30K??? ITS CLEAR NICKI MUST HAVE YALL ON PAY ROLL TO MAKE HER LOOK GOOD. LETS SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES NICK TO GO GOLD…

  65. ImArii December 16, 2014

    Look at all this WHINING and failing everywhere. I live!!! The excuses, the pouting, the crying!! It’s like Christmas. 18.5 million followers on Twitter and not even a fraction will buy the album. How pathetic. Besides, Nicki already used this excuse on Roman Reloaded. TRY AGAIN, HON.

  66. LB December 16, 2014

    These numbers would be impressive, if Nicki didn’t have THE BIGGEST PROMO campaign of any artist this year. Her promo campaign was huge for these mediocre numbers. FLOP!

  67. Wheresmyjizzle December 16, 2014

    @Nickisqueef is no where to be found. Bîtch like I said have several sits hoè!!!!!

  68. RihIcon December 17, 2014

    I think she’s over exposed, she’s never really taken a break and people are probably tired of her. plus she should have released when anaconda was hot

  69. coolness December 17, 2014

    These aren’t bad numbers considering the TRAGIC sales climate we are in today but they aren’t stellar either. Nicki had one hell of a promotional campaign that ran through all year. She had a movie, made several guest appearances on other people’s tracks and performed on ALL major award shows this year. Anyway, I like the album so good for her.

  70. Yonce December 17, 2014

    Boo, she has to sell a lot more to debut at #1, you gotta stop saying that until we see her predictions rise. Swift’s sales keep rising toward Christmas, the b**** got 280k this week. Pentatonix has been pushing 200k+ each week, too. We also gotta see how J.Cole’s second week goes. She could debut at #4. Predictions are usually right.

  71. chrome wars December 22, 2014

    It is true. If you try to order at Traget online, You can’t get it. Try going to target.com and type in Nicki’s name. The pink print does not even come up and this was the only outlet with her two bonus tracks. Something’s up. I think it’s the labels fault though with putting those albums out with instrumentals of one of the songs. Also,
    Why put an album out Monday? Wouldn’t that be only one day shipments. It’s not even giving yourself a full sales week. Bad idea from Nicki and her camp. But the cd is good either way and to me that’s all that matters.
