Drake‘s ‘Scorpion‘ is the highest-streamed album of 2018.
Good news for the performer below…
Though it sold less than Post Malone‘s ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys‘, it streamed more units making it the highest-selling set of the year thanks to fans who streamed it 4 billion times.
Elsewhere, Cardi B‘s ‘Invasion of Privacy‘ is the highest-selling release by any female artist with pure sales of 206,000 units and 2 billion streams as J. Cole‘s ‘KOD‘ finds itself at #11 with 273,000 copies sold and 1 billion spins.
Ariana Grande’s ‘Sweetener’ ends the year with 964,000 copies shifted (sales and streams) placing her three spots above Nicki Minaj‘s hitless set ‘Queen’ which closes with 932,000 records sold.
On the lowest end of the scale?

Nicki Minaj’s Prom Queen sold 147,000 in pure sales! Now where is ??? ? You always yapping about Nicki’s pure sales being so great but apparently the Barbz left the album right in the store lol

?yet Cardi is barely pushing 200k after being out for 8 months ?
But who’s saying that’s amazing tho? The Barbz were the ones that came for Cardi when Prom Queen is a bust…so what’s good?
The barbs only came for Cardi after she tried to fight Nicki over a damn fake ass tweet she claimed she liked but never had receipts for. Queen hasn’t been as successful as her previous album sure, but clearly it’s stull not a flop like ppl try to claim it is. Cardi’s team has had promoting & performances everywhere all year, whereas Nicki hasn’t really been doing a whole lot of promo & performances like previous eras. Nicki needs a new team behind & around her. Bey stumbled with 4, Lady Gaga stumbled with Artpop, etc so she’ll learn from the messy roll out of this era & come harder next year, hell even Ariana is already out promoting her next album. Often times all of us fans forget that these celebs are human & they have feelings so bashing, & dragging & saying negative things about this constantly is exactly why we see so many overdoses, they’re both successful in their own way, the barbs & bardo gang started this beef & the need to end it in 2019
@King Of Kingz, I can respect that…Happy Holidays! ? For real, I just want to relax, drink some eggnog and forget Cardi vs Nicki…chile, let me get NICK to come and….

LmFao……
The BARBS are 12 g_ay boys at home listening to her streams over and over and bullying people because the corny and so unhappy . THE BARBS did NOT show out for her Album. THE BARBS did not buy tickets to her shows. THEY DON’T EXIST. The gay community is so fickle – they jumped SHIP to the lightskin fun version of a Rap Queen (CARDI).
?the Bardi Gang is full of young thots, h***, strippers, escorts, scammers & tumblr / onlyfans queens ?
bitc_hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Cardi got the Latino Community too….so Cardi has the Hood, The sistahs, the G_ays, The escorts, The Strippers, The T***** community. She a HIT boo
Lmfao….
Streaming has honestly ruined the music industry, you got ppl who sold more in pure sales ranked lower then people who had more streams smh.Streams make these artists hardly any money either smh. Ya’ll tryna shade Nicki talking bout its hitless but Chun Li is still the highest charted solo female single this year & Queen & Sweetner have only been out 4 months. & Travis got his damn merch attached to his pure sales smh
Uhm, How is Chun Li highest charted female solo single? Thank u next hit #1.
Nicki did the same with her merch too plus adding FeFe to the streams midweek which is why Queen has good streaming numbers.
#Facts!
It’s all a bunch of mess!??♂️

Cardi only female in top 10 playing with the big boys. Also shout to to Camila! Looks like she’s the only new artist doing big numbers.
Nicki this, Cardi that this argument is getting old. Is just the same cycle over and over Nicki was the it girl for the past 10 years now Cardi is the current it girl. Not that Cardi is this great rapper cause she definitly not. She don’t even write her own raps but the industry wants to get rid of Nicki so they settle with her. Few year down the road they going to get some other talentless chick to replace Cadri and then the same s^^^ will begin again, while music on a whole will suffer cause in the era of streaming its not about talent and skills it all about who is more popular smfh….
