6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj’s new single ‘TROLLZ’ may be off to a strong start on some metrics, but it has its work cut out for it if a repeat of ‘Gooba’ isn’t to occur.
Full story below…
Having alleged foul play when his first track since his prison release failed to hit #1 (or #2) on the Hot 100, 6ix9ine vowed publicly to not let anything deny him the top spot this go round.
But it’s looking like it’ll be a battle to the finish if the polarizing pair are to premiere in pole position on the next iteration of the Hot 100.
With the track retailing at a generous $0.69 (with the incentive of profits going to a bail program) – it’s unsurprisingly excelling on the downloads front and has been lodged at #1 on US iTunes for over 32 hours.
The ‘TROLLZ’ video is also winning out of the gate, amassing a colossal 50 million views in a day.
So, some may be wondering…what’s the issue?
Well, it’s of note that the metrics where ‘TROLLZ’ is dominating don’t typically make up the lion-share of the chart equation.
Paid service streams – on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music – are weighed with a higher premium than free views on YouTube.
And despite ample hype, initial Spotify stats for ‘TROLLZ’ are surprisingly lukewarm:
Spotify US:
15 TROLLZ (with Nicki Minaj) by 6ix9ine — 760,729
Spotify Global:
25 TROLLZ (with Nicki Minaj) by 6ix9ine — 2,058,603
Add to that its limp start on radio (which is still a big factor, often a difference maker, and a format 6ix9ine has struggled on), it’s clear things go could a few different ways.
Are you rooting for ‘TROLLZ’?
Well 🤷🏾♀️ Nicki already got a number one this would be more for 6ix9ine who hasn’t had one yet
Yes her first No.1 after 10 years and 30,000 chart entries later.
To make things even worse her version only impacted the charts for ONE week before the ORIGINAL version quickly outpaced Nicki’s.
She will NEVER have a solo No.1 and neither will this rat faced demon 6ixnine.
You can’t deny trollz is hot. Nicki is 100 million times better than Cardi Rat this year.2020 is nicki year.queen slay.
Just two years ago, the whole internet was saying Nicki was over, and Cardi at the top of the game.
card is going downhill, and nicki is still get the crown.10 years .
The circle hasn’t changed a bit over the decades, and no matter how many b* are temporarily in the lead, Nicki is still and always at the top.
NO SOLO #1S IN SIGHT. NICKI HAD TO RIDE DOJA’S WAVE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS FEAT. NICKI A FLOP HAS BEEN LIKE YOUR OTHER FAV CICI
🥴You neglected to mention it’s #4 on Apple Music tho, peaked #3 so far on there too & best believe it will rise on Spotify tomorrow for sure. Sales from their websites, google & amazon are also doing very well. & the clean version is top 15 so far as well. So it’s pacing very well for its first day. Ya’ll doubted barbz for say so & we came thru @ the end so sit back & watch us work
Lol
Y’all came thru to support the song…..so fabs made it number one for one week. Charts are no longer indication of the popularity of a song. Songs get to number one these days due to marketing, tricks, fans intentionally pushing a song up the charts as opposed to the general public interest if a song like back in the day. At this point chart position and awards(Oscars and Grammys) pretty much means nothing! Oooh I sold my song for .69 cents to make it number one.
Watch moron, this sh*t hasnt got airplay better start to buy with barbidiotz
Rockstar is gonna stay #1 for like 3 weeks it have a lot AirPlay and radio and now stream with the video I don’t think 69 would go #1 he have competition and with those Spotify numbers so poor
Great news tired of people who are constantly spewing negative energy winning soo glad to hear this news radio will not play him and he constantly brags bout views thinking billboard gonna care very good news
Waiting for 69 to come after da baby next week
Will say his song had better views etc
😂😂😂😂😭
Yeah but if it gets 49 million views each day for the next 7 days then it’s still on track for number 1
Sips 🍵…
Beautiful karma.
I don’t know what’s funnier, the air bubbles on the wallpaper in the pic above and in the video, or the fact that nicki did all this and the song still won’t hit #1 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The song is not as good as Fefe or gooba let’s be real here
It’s not! It’s not catchy at all. I only went back to listen to it because I didn’t catch the Usher subliminal but other than that. I don’t care to ever watch or listen to it ever again. Now FeFe was an addictive single. I played joint A LOT! And watched the video several times.
It’s not! Fefe was better! Now that single was #1 worthy.
This messy ass post. Please save your fingers from trying to make Nicki look like she’s failing you are a f****** hater and the song will be number 1 unlike your favorites. What a joke no wonder you’ve been around forever and still haven’t reached the relevance of The Shade Room. Get some new talent
Girlllll, shut up. All this defence for somebody that doesn’t know you exist?
She been fell off she’s approaching 40 so very soon we won’t have to worry radio don’t play her now wait till she turns 40 it’s over for good 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great news tired of people who are constantly spewing negative energy winning soo glad to hear this news radio will not play him and he constantly brags bout views thinking billboard gonna care very good news
That’s not surprising the barbz are not pushing this to go number 1 like say so 🤷🏽♀️ Rockstar will remain on top for a few more weeks. This will just tumble down the charts like gooba and 6ix9ine will complain it’s a conspiracy 😂😂
Trolls will not go # 1 because they want it too bad ” obviously” and Snitch 9 is going nowhere but down from here. Kill Yoself !
Does anybody ever hear the Say So remix on the radio? I hear the original all the time but not the version with Nicki. The Savage Remix on the other hand, stays getting air play. I hardly ever hear the original on the radio, always the Beyonce version. 🤷♀️
Hi Tyler(grandchild of SLaves).. I LOVE YOU.***
Anyone can tell you they won’t debut at number 1. You need radio impressions /play. PAID platforms count more than FREE YouTube views. If GOOBA hit number 3 and got more play… I can see this top 5 and then dropping the following week. We need to stream Rockstar and block these frauds with nasty attitudes who think we owe them anything.
Nicki Minaj is not a fraud. She has proven her art of raping time and time again. It’s sad she had to resort to this to get noticed, but the industry basically crapped on her.
She is fraud & lame & creepy & rhino
nahhh we gone get this number one
