Chart Check: Bruno Mars & Nicki Minaj Move Closer To Trumping Country Stars’ Hot 100 Records

Published: Friday 3rd Jul 2015 by Rashad

It’s a good time to Nicki Minaj right now.

As her ‘PinkPrint’ release has passed the Gold mark in the U.S. and etches closer to platinum, the rapper/singer/songwriter is also set to shine on the big screen via the third installment of the Ice Cube-led ‘Barbershop’ franchise.

Now, as if that isn’t enough to celebrate, all eyes are now on her as she has notched her 65th Hot 100 hit with the Meek Mill & Chris Brown-helmed ‘All Eyes On You.’  The chart triumph sees the rapstress slide in just a few steps closer to leading the pack of “most Hot 100 entries” by any female…of any genre (only Taylor Swift & Aretha Franklin have more as we reported here).

Elsewhere, charts reveal Swift isn’t the only country diva at risk of seeing her Hot 100 record threatened. For, in addition to setting a new chart record this week, Bruno Mars‘ monster hit ‘Uptown Funk’ is just two weeks away from upstaging Leann Rimes‘How Do I Live’ in a big way.

    • Lana Del Fan *I Can Hear The Sirens* July 3, 2015

      Is Nicki still putting more plastic in her body to transform into Barbie-hood? Where’s nickis natural nody? Where’s her number one? Where’s her aborted baby? Where’s her ex gây àss boyfriend? Worry about that b***** and I’ll worry about my fave. Bye, cünty.

      • Barb-wire July 3, 2015

      SCRYING

  5. Selenator *Good For You* July 3, 2015

    Yas @ Good For You debuting at #9! It’s such a good a song! Congrats to Jhené for landing her first top 20 hit too

    • Faf July 3, 2015

      I LIKE THAT SELENA SONG.

  6. Barb-wire July 3, 2015

    Yes at no sleeep having an entry, pretty girls is a flop but why didn’t you show “Wet Dreamz” Chart position TGJ? I’m sure it must have moved up by now.

    • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) July 3, 2015

      Yassss Janets Queen honey. ????Lil Kim kilt it on BET.???? Nicki a flop!! ????

  7. Slayoncé Giselle-Knowles Carter (Formerly RihNavy) July 3, 2015

    • BOOBIE July 3, 2015

      Queen sh*t

  8. MadonnaThaDinosaur July 3, 2015

    Lol at Bîtch I’m an old fossil that Tranet troll must be somewhere seething right now

  9. Jhené Aiko Stan July 3, 2015

    Never in a million years would I have thought Post To Be would be such a hit. Top 20 is impressive, especially considering the song is terrible and forgettable besides Jhené’s part. Congrats to her and Omarion and CB.

    • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

      I totally agree, good for Jhene tho, she’s so talented.

  10. Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

    Remember when they said Pretty Girls was gonna be the song of the summer? LMFAO!!! Fu¢k Snorelena Gomez basic flat a$$.

    • Selenator *Good For You* July 3, 2015

      Screaming @ this irony! A Mariah Carey lite fan saying anyone is basic and with a flat a$$! Your fav is literally so boring that she needed 9489829 artists on her album. She’s so boring that she flops without features while Selena has SOLO top 10 hits. Plus Ariana is built like a chop stick and makes Taylor Swift look like Beyonce. B*tch don’t try it.

      • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

        *Looks for Stars Dance sales, certifications, critical acclaim and Snorelena’s vocals* None of those things exists h**. At least my fave has 2 number one Gold and Platinum Albums and an actual voice so fall back b**** and clean that stank ass box of yours

      • Selenator *Good For You* July 3, 2015

        Stars Dance, with only two singles, out sold Mariah’s Truly though lmao! Mariah Light has one gold album and one that scanned platinum but is nowhere near selling it, poor that 🙁 Featurana is still trying to match Kiss N Tell which did over 900k in the US alone.

      • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

        No b****, p*** n smell was NOT solo so that does not count towards Selena stats. where’s farts dance plaque? Where’s it’s 81+ metacritic score?

  11. Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

    But 98% of those 65 Nicki Minaj hits were features, she can’t chart with her own songs, that’s why PFRR and the pink trash still aren’t platinum. If only the Barboonz had big wallets as big as their mouths, maybe they could help the struggle print go platinum. Kiii chile

    • BOOBIE July 3, 2015

      Except 23 lead entries out of 65 total entries is not 98% you dumb bit*ch. The real kiii is your fav’s epic plummet off of the relevancy chart. How can someone go from being one of the top Pop acts in the world to the sad position she’s in right now? She can’t even crack 10 million Instagram followers. At least Nicki is still relevant outside of her fanbase unlike Gaga. How’s Artpop sis?

      • truth(nicki the reason A.I. is cancelled and Meek playn ha!!) July 3, 2015

        Chile pls she dont have 23 SOLO songs to hit the chart. Stop lying pls…or i will stomp yo pusssy in.

    • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

      Chartflop isn’t platinum and last time I checked Nicki isn’t clinging to a 50000 year old man or for some type of career h**.

    • Faf July 3, 2015

      Only platinum
      Anaconda 4x plat
      TNISY gold I believe
      Thats 3 solo songs

      • Faf July 3, 2015

        ** lead not solo

        She was not the featured artist on only its her song

  12. Slayoncé Giselle-Knowles Carter (Formerly RihNavy) July 3, 2015

    People are already pulling out receipts for their faves, chilllle. I’m going to bed, this is gonna be toooo messy.

  13. Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

    ^ not the barboonz getting in their feelings. Gaga’s second album went platinum in one week, what about nicki garbage’s PFRR? Even after 98521 re-releases, 78542 singles, and 872521 videos, PFRR is still not platinum. Is that why ya mad? Yes I would also be mad if GaGa’s second album was such a colossal flop. Kii

    • Barb-wire July 3, 2015

      Mess at you throwing stale shade when Lad D*** had to cling to Tony’s wrinkled n** sacks for relevance and even that didn’t help Mouth to sack scan platinum, have a seat.

      • Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

        Not u getting mad that I clocked ur faves tea. Instead of being perched on TGJ, u should be perched on iTunesSA trying to get the stuggle print to platinum in SA, where it still hasn’t even sold 5k since its release almost a year ago.

      • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

        AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Mouth to sack!!! I can’t

      • Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

        You also can’t buy the Struggle print, cause if u did it would be platinum by now

      • Jamie July 3, 2015

        Artpop 850k in America
        Pinkslip 630k in America

        Grabz lose

      • Arianator Barb July 3, 2015

        WHERE IS ARTPOP’S PLATINUM PLAQUE YOU STUPID H**?!?!?!?!?

      • Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

        Where is Nicki’s grammy? Kii at you seething!!!

    • BOOBIE July 3, 2015

      Lol you mean the .99 cent album that had a 85% decline in sales in it’s second week? Hun, Cassie’s album would’ve sold 1 million in the first week if it was .99 cents. Btw, Nicki’s PFRR is PLATINUM even after all of the negative backlash she had at the time. Nicki still reigns supreme in her field while Gaga dropped the crown and let Taylor and Katy share it. Po dat.

      • Cake like Lady GaGa July 3, 2015

        The lies. PFRR isn’t platinum, its still stalled at 800k, while Artpop which was released a year later after PFRR is at 850k. How is it that a younger album is selling more? Even after a re-release, 781542 singles, and 87452 videos, it still got outsold by Artpop. Yes, maybe u should log off ThatStruggleJuice and go perch on iTunes to get both PFRR and the pink trash a platinum plague. Kii

      • Jamie July 3, 2015

        Garbz can’t come for Gaga especially when The Fame out sales all 3 of ickis struggle albums.

      • Faf July 3, 2015

        It’s not at 800k

        the rerelease put physical sales to around 936k

  14. shakira stan July 3, 2015

    Taylor hasent been a country star since forever …..and I can see why Iggy is reaching with pretty flop perched at 97 plus call me when plastinica gets another hit that ain’t a collabo.

  15. Molly July 3, 2015

    Congrats Selena and Janet! Can’t wait for Demis new single “Cool For The Summer” to slay the charts.

    • Selenator *Good For You* July 3, 2015

      Don’t hold your breath sis, it’s already free falling down iTunes after a day. Demi stans were so cocky too, karma is a b*tch

      • Molly July 3, 2015

        Well that sucks I think its one of Demis best singles.
