This week’s Hot 100 and Billboard 200 saw little movement in their respective top 10s, but elsewhere on the charts, the shakeups are making history.
As her album ‘The PinkPrint’ continues to leave its mark on album charts’ upper ranking, Nicki Minaj is seeing her latest release – ‘Truffle Butter’ ft. Drake & Lil Wayne – edge her closer to surpassing chart titan Taylor Swift‘s status for entries on the Hot 100.
Becoming the rapstress’s 60th mention on the tally, only Swift (66) and Aretha Franklin (73) block her ability to claim the title of “most entries on the Hot 100 by a female.” Her Young Money co-stars, Drake & Wayne, also have reason to rejoice as ‘Truffle’s trek up charts lands them in Hot 100 history books as well.
“Lil Wayne logs his 124th entry, second only to the cast of Fox’s Glee‘s record 207. Drake makes his 74th visit, tying late icon Ray Charles for sixth place…” (source)
The good tidings bring the trio a much needed distraction from their growing label drama, but tuck in below to see who else is celebrating for chart moves on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 this week:

Slow days? Still trying to make TPP happen lol?
Yes sis
It’s still top 10 almost two months later. It’s happening which I’m sure you already know. Cough cough. The first one in her mentioning every post. Lol
It’s already happened and it’s still happening
Trying? It’s happening HO. It’s still slaying. Almost gold in a month.
Has TPP sold 500K WW yet?
Has “Me I am Flopriah”?
HAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA I’M DYING AT UR COMMENT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I am feeling myself, Feeling myself
How many of those 60 entries have been #1 again? How many were top 10 for that matter? How many weren’t features? The struggle to make Onika relevant is real.
And your struggle to undermine her achievements are failing. Congrats to Onika and may she continue to slay the Hot 100 and your fave with entry after muthaf**king entry!!!
“Still not impressed with her” carry on folks…
She would have to be non black for you to be impressed. Kii
Oh ok, a bunch of features. Who gives a f***?
billboard, Forbes and her fans care.
The PinkPrint is almost 54k away from gold in USA and has sold almost 600k world wide it’s only been out almost two months…
Smoke and mirrors
nope. sales, billboard chart position and chart entries are not smoke and mirrors. they are achievements!
so wait…you guys are seriously going to act like being a BLACK…FEMALE…RAPPER having being third in most hot 100 entries is not a big deal?
Features or not, how many others do you see even having 10-20? Lil Kim? Trina? Foxy Brown? Remy? Iggy?
NOBODY!
So quit hatin. The only reason Aretha is #1 is because she’s been out for so long. Nicki’s been out the least time of Aretha and Taylor, yet is still right up there w/ them in terms of Hot 100 charting
Exactly, this is a big deal, they are just undermining her because they don’t like her.
Correction.. Areatha Franklins songs are HER singles, so therefore she DESERVES credit.Taylor Swifts songs are hers.. S***** Garbaj is on a lot of other artists songs. in which they are NOT hers.. So, you are in fact REACHING and eXaGGerating. So you tell me how many songs from HER album have charted the hot 100 from her 3 albums. I’ll patiently wait!
How many copies has the pinkshit sold? And I mean actual sales, not streams. Giving me Lana fad rey Ultraflop tease
More then you have sold that’s for sure, dumb ass
Oh she has a 5th single out now, full of features? Oh ok.
and so what b****? it still counts as a single for her and the the persons it features. and also it’s still charting on billboard.
And will be forgotten quickly like 98% of her material.
All I know is that being a black female rapper out there and be succesful is very hard but Nicki is doing what others couldn’t so I give her the respect and acknowledgement she deserves coz she came through and has been able to shead of others.
*be ahead
How is 60 entries good, when only a few of them have cracked the top 10? how is this an achievement for black ppl when there are black artist with more hits and less entries?
BLACK FEMALE RAPPERS. Most Black rappers don’t see glory on the billboard charts these days with how many changes they made to keep the music out. Just look at the charts, the top 10. Everybody white in the top 10 but 2. It was not always like this. Next week will look even worse. Don’t deny the obvious.
congratz Nicki that’s a big deal even thought alot of them don’t want to admit it but there facts are there, so it’s all good.
Where’s the authenticity? This album has been on the charts for what five weeks. The numbers obviously decrease weekly. In two weeks Nicki won’t be in top 10 after not reaching number 1.
Reaching number 1 is not the be all and end all. Who cares if it’s not number 1 (but you). She is still selling her work.
Nicki needs a Hot100 #1 song, even if she has to pay for it, she needs to make it happen.
