Nicki Minaj sprung a surprise on fans this week with the streaming and digital retail release of her 2009 mixtape ‘Beam Me Up Scotty.’
As well as feeding fan demand for the set, the refreshed version of the project serves as a bridge to the femcee’s incoming new album (which she says she has been working on diligently).
Much to the joy of her Barbz, the superstar added three new songs to the mixtape – including the Drake and Lil Wayne assisted ‘Seeing Green,’ which topped the iTunes tally within hours of its release.
With all the buzz surrounding ‘Beam Me Up Scotty,’ how are its numbers stacking up?
The first week’s predictions are here. Head below to find out…
Per Hits Daily Double, Minaj is set to sell:

Solid, especially given that this skews more towards a “for the fans” venture.
