Nicki Minaj‘s discography has been graced with another top 20 thanks to an impeccable strategy executed by the millions who call themselves her fans.
Read below…
After opening at #10 in New Zealand, ‘Megatron’– the rapper’s new smash hit single- has opened at #20 on the Billboard 200 after her fans launched a campaign designed to lift the track to commendable chart ground with traditional purchases and streams.
Biggest first week solo debut pure sales by a female rapper this year: ??
1. @NickiMinaj / ‘Megatron’ — 25.000
2. @IAmCardiB / ‘Press’ — 19.000 pic.twitter.com/61FmSQvKOp— Rico Nasty News (@RicoNastyUpdate) June 29, 2019
The track glides to glory before the release of its parent album which will stand as the performer’s fifth set and follow the release of her latest album ‘Queen’ which delivered the tracks ‘Ganja Burn’, ‘Majesty’ and ‘Barbie Dreams.’
Unfortunately, that set failed to enjoy the hype and glory earned by her opening album ‘Pink Friday’ and its EuroPop follow-up ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.’
Now, if ‘Mega’s sales are anything to go by, it seems Minaj is on her way to reclaiming said glory with album #5.
The song is her 53rd Top 40 single.
.@NICKIMINAJ ties @michaeljackson and Jay-Z (@S_C_) as the artists with the tenth most top 20 hits in Hot 100 history (34 each).

It will freefall next week like her past singles have done. Absolutely no one outside of the delusional Barbs have MegaTRASH in rotation.
I like Nicki but lets not pretend like a new single selling thousands is equivalent to a Michael Jackson single which sold millions just because of a chart position. The charts do not state the amount sold. You have to look at the revenue generated from the single for true comparison. Thus, Nicki has not outsold Michael or Jay-z. She just got her singles to the same chart number as they did which is a huge win for her. I think this comparison stuff is done at the expense of defaming older artists work who sold millions. The music these days sells for pennies on the dollar and in many cases for FREE. For example, I watched Nicki’s video a couple times FREE on youtube and even though i did not pay a cent my streaming counts as a ‘sale’. In Michael Jackson’s time people had to actually buy the single at the record store. How do you compare spending $5 to $6 per single to FREE watching of a single?
@Jasmine
You took my thoughts and articulated them exactly! I am so tired of folks comparing artists from different eras. MJ, Whitney, Prince, Aretha, Elvis, The Beatles, even Jay Z..did not have streaming so dont COMPARE them to Nicki Garbaj.. dont even compare her to Missy, Salt N Pepa or Lauryn. Her peers are Remy, Cardi, Iggy, Azaelia etc
@Jasmine – I agree.
Keep that in my when y’all speaking of Cardi’s #1s. We all know her #1s came from streams. Both of her songs that went to #1 was only $.69 at the time they went to #1. When it comes to Nicki y’all want to compare it to the old days. The way they count music has changed quite a few times over the years.
That song is trash lol. Press is way better. “Brtatata” tf?
Meanwhile the “Okurr” trademark is being rejected.
Meanwhile St Nick can’t trademark anything since she stole from Lil Kim and lacks originality. ???
Meanwhile Lil Kim album being rejected by the label; causing delays.
Meanwhile tricki garbaj is gettin a train ran on her by the whole young money/cash money to obtain relevancy and to buy her music to chart ??♂️??♂️ even tho its gonna flop harder than her last entire QUEEN album?
Meanwhile I’m stating facts and y’all are stating opinions and hate ? get help. Nicki ain’t going nowhere y’all been saying the s*** since Shether. Yet shes still here. Hang it up, flatscreen.
Yea she’s still here….flopping lmfaoooo
She’s been in the game for how long now? 10+ years and her latest single is in the billboard top 20. That’s not flopping pooh
10+ years in the game, still no number one or Grammy, and BARELY cracking the top 20 with promo and video. Y’all stay reaching for and tryna make her happen. This ain’t Queen sh** lol.
Still no grammy or number one but somehow she manages to have longevity, an empire of fans nd still making headlines. Meanwhile, Megatron debuts at top 20 with no performances and meanwhile PRESSed is not even in the top 40. Atlantic wasted all that money on a grammy and a number one that no one even thinks about anymore just for Cardi to decline. Smh. ?
4YES UES YES DIS IS WHAT YOUR BIG FLOP MOUTH AZ GOT TO DAY. THE WHOLE DAM WORLD KN NIKI BEST RAPPER TODAY. NOW YOU PRESS DIS. COME KLEAN My TOILET.KNOTTY IS JUST A HORRIBLE PEUCE OF SHYT WHO EMBARRSES OUR BLACK CULTURE. KLOWN A** .
Lol @ this puff posts ?
Mrs petty minaj is really over.
After all the promo she couldn’t crack the top 15.
Her fans have so much mouth on social media but when it’s time to buy or stream her music they keep mute.
And almost out top 100 on iTunes to flop ???
Did “press” make the top 15? Hell no, and that’s sad because Cardi actually gets airplay. For Nicki to debut at #20 with no airplay is damn good. There’s artist who songs I hear everyday all day on the radio and their songs still never make it in the top 20s.
We’re talking about NNNNNIIIIICCCCKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIII. All this changing of subjects is so weak. Support your fave and stop trolling.
Nicki had a video while Cardi didnt.
A post about The Queen and look at all the CardiB fans leaving negative comments ? ? ? at this point they might as well worship The Queen who takes the time out of their day to worry about someone you claim not to like y’all are Fans seek Help
Exactly!
Show me where anyone mentioned Cardi. This is another example of the Barbz out here trolling instead of supporting. There’s a reason why everyone drags you guys and your fave.
?
Biiiiiitch you sound stupid and Press Press Press Press Press….this dumb site mentioned Cardi! And as far as flooding posts, you delusional clowns ? live in a Cardi post! Stick a fork in Miss Piggy, I mean Petty….She is done!!! She released the song and video the same day and was only able to scan 25k singles? ????. The jokes write themselves!
Press still outcharted with no promo, video or Jimmy Fallon. That in itself is a JOKE. Let the free fall begin. ?? Queen Lizzo finna crack the Top 10 next week and guess what Garbz… we gon pull a #LizzoFortheCulture hashtag just like we did with Bodak Yellow & make that sh!t go #1. ?? Female rap has come too far to held back by your gluttonous fave. B**** gon EAT!!??????
I’m really hoping Lizxo makes Trmp w/ Missy a single. That song is pure??
*Lizzo *Tempo
20 that’s low ??
?these b****** sure is pressed in these damn comments tho ? ya’ll love to hate on the Queen. Worry bout Press & Wish Wish free falling down the charts after there first week. & press had several months of hype & was released when nobody else had new music out so kill the 5 spot debut difference & ?since when is a top 20 hit a flop? Smh give props & credit when it’s due hating ass b******
She had a video got to number 1 iTunes and still only debuted at 20 press debuted at 16 no promo no video nicki will fall hard next week being that the single is out top 100 on iTunes by Wednesday ?
Sis Press had hella promo, that video snippet in the studio that she dropped that got over 30 million views, plus the naked cover art she released is considered promo & as I said before she dropped when one else did. Had she dropped when Drake, Lil Nas & Shawn Mendes & Taylor she would have debuted lower then 15. ?ya’ll really tryna act like a top 20 debut is a flop tho ?
It’s a flop sis. It’s amazing how y’all cap for this fraud. It’s like taking your investment and putting your all into it knowing the stock finna crash. ??? Female Rap will grow beyond Petty Minaj misusing it. She’s desperate for respect at this point. She need to take a god damn break and go get pregnant by that r*****. ?
An IG snippet and cover art isnt “hella” promo you idiot.
How about we got two amazing Black Queens that are doing there thing. Why they can’t coexist together. We always putting are people against one another smh.
Queen of Queenz…..gurl stfu and continue to take the BIG L your “alleged” Queen has been receiving these last few years. She’s washed boo, and you will deal clown ?!!! ????
It’s just gonna freefall next week so you wasted your time typing this article.
She should name the album the fifth thing thing
Michael Jackson’s records were made with his own songs and not everyone else’s. There’s a difference.
And what is this? ?
“Biggest first week solo debut pure sales by a female rapper this”
??
“It’s not about the race either, it’s about the marathon.” Yet we’re supposed to applaud MegaFLOP first week pure sales when it’s bout to free fall off the charts while Press been holding steady for over a month! Ha! The hypocrisy is real. ??????
Holding steady falling down the charts. It will move up for a week or 2 since she released the video. Then back down the charts it goes.
PLEASE stop comparing her to real legends. Her sales and stats are unimpressive AF. Michael & Aretha broke records on their own merit, not by being featured on 1000000 songs a year. BTW this song is a flop. It will drop out of the top 30 by next week.
Its Amazing how the barbz are saying it’s not a flop since it made it the top 20 at 20, but last week y’all said cardi flop with press which debuted at 16. Make it make sense ???
“Press” is the true flop because it actually has radio support. Nicki has been blackballed.
Fine something ???
this song is pure SHITT.. So called-Queen
Damn yall some real life hating ass b******, took the time to click and read a Nicki post. Then make an account just to bash her, Miserable ass whores.
