1 Billion Streams: Nicki Minaj Reaches New Spotify Milestone

Published: Thursday 9th Apr 2020 by David

Nicki Minaj has extended her lead as one of the highest-selling/streamed musicians of all time. On a pure sales front, the rapper joins Drake to lead a small group of MCs whose figures rival, and in some cases surpass, their Pop superstar counterparts.

Today the entertainer has learned that she is the only rapper (male or female) to see her discography streamed 1 billion times this year. That’s 1 billion streams in 12 weeks.

With these numbers she eclipses Spotify figures generated by Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Cardi B, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Da Baby, Lil Baby, Doja Cat, Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, Megan thee Stallion and Biggie Smalls...without the benefit of a number one single on the competitive Billboard Hot 100.

She achieved the magnificent feat while on a musical hiatus.

      Gurl I thought I was the only one that noticed this.

      I have a feeling this is a paid post.
      A post trying to boost her image.

      • April 9, 2020

        Why the fck do your clown @ss always feel like Nicki Minaj is trying to boost some image, dude the woman is setting and breaking records.

      • Matthew Loma April 10, 2020

        Paid post or not it doesn’t change the fact that Nicki has over 1billion streams in only 14 weeks. Youre mad meanwhile Nicki is in her bag.

    • M!naj April 9, 2020

      He’s literally a professional writer with songs on the radio. Not everyone is a low down and lowly as you no wall having imbeciles.

      • M!naj April 9, 2020

        *as.

      • Xyz April 12, 2020

        Queen of free streaming

    • Yall hear sumn?? April 10, 2020

      So now anyone that write something positive about nicki is a barb?? You sound ignorant?

  2. Clarks0o0ñ April 9, 2020

    1 billion streams thanks to karol G tusa and Arianna Grande’s side to side

    Nicki went back on hiatus because her pèdo husband forgot to register as a child toucher in LA.

    • E. April 9, 2020

      That s*** don’t make no damn sense when the accuser is a year older than him.

    • POPS Muva April 9, 2020

      Say it louder! TUSA is responsible for most of these streams

      • Yall hear sumn?? April 10, 2020

        But tusa hasn’t even had 300 million streams this year, so what about the other 700 million ?? They are from her other music

    • Matthew Loma April 10, 2020

      Nicki Minaj’s OWN discography WITHOUT features brings in 4million streams a day. Meanwhile Tusa is currently bringing in 2million streams a day. Also Side to Side isn’t a main source of streams right now. Along with that Tusa only has 300million streams. So if its all from tusa then what about the other 700million streams? Those 700million streams are mainly coming from nicki’s OWN work. Sit down you clown because you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about?

      • Xyz April 12, 2020

        A.sshole barb your lameAss Queen is nothing without feats

  3. Lou-Andrew Rodriguez April 9, 2020

    You cannot deny she really is leading the RAP game and by these numbers she’s doing a great job on both sides male and female. Go Nicki.

    • Only Facts April 9, 2020

      How is she leading the rap game when her biggest songs are pop dance trash? ? Make it make sense.

      Lyrics from “starships” (nickis biggest solo hit): “twinkle twinkle little star”.

      Case closed

      • E. April 9, 2020

        Okay, and one of Cardi’s #1 hits is a remake of a Latin song. Lil Kim’s only #1 is a remake of a R&B/Soul song by Patti Labelle with 3 singers on the song. Nobody seems to wanna point that out tho. People still call Kim the Queen of Rap.

      • Only Facts April 9, 2020

        Bodak Yellow has sold 9 million. I like it has sold 8 million. Sit the hell down. Nicki can’t even get a top five hit unless it’s a POP song! Get at me when nicki has a classic HIP HOP song or ALBUM! No pop filler! Nicki has no Bodak Yellow. Deal

      • Lou-Andrew Rodriguez April 9, 2020

        She is leading it and you can see it yourself. Too bad your favourite song of her is Starships but good for you for knowing her lyrics x

      • Only Facts April 9, 2020

        Honey, that was her biggest song…and that’s not something to be proud of. In 15 years when BET does a tribute to this old h**, they’ll have people performing “starships” ??? She’s a f*cking clown ?

      • Matthew Loma April 10, 2020

        Starships has sold over 6million copies so stop discrediting the song. Also Starships isn’t Nick’s biggest hit. Lets not forget Super Bass sold over 8million copies. Nicki’s recent songs have been selling too. Fefe has sold over 8million copies, Chun Li has sold over 1million copies, Hot Girl Summer has sold over 1million copies, and Tusa has sold over 1million copies. Nicki has been selling so stop acting like she peaked at Starships. Youre mad because Nicki is successful even through radio black balling. Meawhile Cardi has been declining since 2018 and payola is barely holding Cardi up now. Its only a matter of time before Doja Cat or Megan Thee Stallion take cardis spot for the “new it girl”.

    • POPS Muva April 9, 2020

      she’s leading what? who? JAJAJA

      • Yall hear sumn?? April 10, 2020

        Where are the other female rappers then ?? Exactly shes leading the rap game more than the other girls

  4. Bebo p. April 9, 2020

    This sound like something she want you guys to put lol ? I can’t
    That was all for the latin song with Karol G
    ????

    • Matthew Loma April 10, 2020

      Nicki Minaj OWN discography WITHOUT features brings in 4million streams a day. meanwhile Tusa is currently bringing in 2million streams a day. You sound stupid. Tusa only has 300million streams. So if its all from tusa then what about the other 700million streams?

      • Xyz April 12, 2020

        İt comes from 234445 feats, you FAgAss barb

  5. Only Facts April 9, 2020

    Nobody cares. This generation doesn’t give a ? about a Nicki, Katy, or GaGa. Deal with it. It’s not 2010

    • POPS Muva April 9, 2020

      Lady Gaga got a number 1 with Shallow few months back and Stupid LOVE went number 5 in the hot 100 becoming a top 10 hit. Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry hasven’t seen the top 10 of the billboard hot 100 in God knows how long so don’t put those 2 next to Queen Lady Gaga… when Gaga stops getting hits you can talk all you want but while her songs and album keep hitting number 1 and moving units she’s not irrelevant to this generation.

      • Matthew Loma April 10, 2020

        In 2018 Nicki Minaj’s song Chun Li peaked at number 10 on the hot 100. Chun Li was literally the highest charting (solo) female rap song of 2018. Later in 2018 Nicki Minaj was featured on Fefe which peaked at Number 3 on the hot 100. In 2019 Nicki Minaj was featured on Hot Girl Summer which peaked at number 11 on the hot 100. In 2020 Nicki Minaj has been featured on Tusa which peaked in the top 40s on the hot 100 but peaked at number 1 on billboard latin charts. Tusa also has over 700million views on Youtube. Don’t try to discredit the QUEEN of rap Nicki Minaj.
