Peruse of the updated Billboard’s Song Sales chart sees Rap Queen Nicki Minaj reigning with her latest single, ‘We Go Up.’
Released March 25, the Fivio Foreign-assisted track comes as her fourth drop in less than two months and followed the warmly received tunes ‘Do We Have a Problem,’ ‘Bussin,’ and ‘Blick Blick.’
Accompanied to Hot 100 success by some history-making measure (i.e. ‘Problem’ made Nicki the first female rapper to have 20 top 10 hits, ‘Blick’ made her the second female artist to have at least 65 top 40 hits, and more), the bops – reportedly set to line the GRAMMY nominee’s forthcoming fifth studio album – set the tone for ‘We Go Up’ to go and do the same.
Ahead of the release of its official music video, look inside to see how the new song’s impact was felt on this week’s hit list.
Shooting to #1 on real-time iTunes sales charts just hours after its release, ‘Up’ managed to maintain its stronghold on the tally over the seven days that followed – a feat that helped it land atop Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart as the week’s top-seller.
Here are the numbers that powered the placement:
- Sales ≈ 12,400 digital downloads
- Streaming ≈ 6.1 million U.S.-based streams
- Radio Airplay ≈ 300,000 audience impressions
Billboard’s Top-Selling Songs of the Week
Arrival at the digital chart’s summit comes with a number of record-setting or record-breaking feats for Minaj. Those feats include, but are not limited to:
- Following last week’s reign of ‘Blick,’ Minaj becomes the first female rapper song leader to replace herself at #1 on the chart
- She extends her record as the female rapper with the most #1 hits on the chart (11 total). Among all artists, she is now is a three-way tie with Eminem and her ‘Swish Swish’ sister Katy Perry for fourth place. Only Taylor Swift (23), Rihanna (14), Justin Bieber (13), and Drake (13) have more chart-toppers on this tally.
On the Hot 100, ‘Up’ – her 123rd hit on the chart – premiered at #58 and extends her record as the female artist with the secondmost appearances in the hit list’s 63-year history.

NICKI JUST KEEPS WINNING! AGIAN! AGIAN! AND SHE WONT STOP!!!!! QUEENSHIT! HATERS KILL YASELVES! BWAHAHAHAHA 🦄🦄🦄
Debuted at 58 billboard hot 100 will free fall next week and that coi Leary song fell 50 places in second week on hot 100 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yea she’s def winning radio play was 300,000 for we go up flopppppppppppp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It definitely flopped! Just like bussin and DWHAP..
Latto Big Energy is n°3 on billboard 😍 sorry
Her album sold less than 13K 💀 pls explain, becuz it’s giving payola
Just STFU, anytime an artist y’all don’t like it’s always about payola 😂 I don’t have anything to explain to a dumbass 😘
Nicki Minaj is that B****!!!!!! Hate her or love her she is here to Stay!!!!!!!
She’ll be 40 next year she’s already not getting radio play wait till she hits 40 old granny 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol but Nicki is younger than the femcees y’all mention on here like kim, missy and remy. Regardless of that she’s one of the greatest to ever do it!
Sweetie Nicki Minaj is the same age as Kim, Remy, etc. lmfaoooooo gtfoh
She’ll never learn. Releasing tons of songs is how you become overexposed and people get tired quickly. This is why she has no classic songs or albums. She’s focused on quantity and not QUALITY. Stupid granny
THANK YOU! This has been her game play from the beginning. Release a billion songs before she drop her music for her album. By then people are already worn out and she doesn’t do well.
Y’all are both slow. DWGAP, Bussin and WGU are singles from the album. The Blick Blick was a feature. She’ll probably roll out one or two more singles before the album drops “before summer”.
Latto is n°3 on billboard, why TGS don’t say a thing about it?
the industry needs nicki. they recognize these other btchs aren’t cutting it with their cheeto deals and baby shark videos lol. that’s why the industry is doing damage control. the grammy’s want her back. they premiered her carpool trailer during the award ceremony. they have doja cat boasting about working w her. it’s all in divine order to finally get rid of that btch fardi. who just proclaimed her HATE for her own fan base 🤣 she says “I hate this fckin dumbass fan base” “y’all can suck a dïck” and those dummies did 😂😂😂😂 cardi thought “singing” was gonna be her “new thing” this era and FLOPPED miserably. oops! back to the drawing board lol. WE GO UP! the GP is loving nicki right now. she’s having such a great new era and these are just fun singles. not even album singles. we love to see a bad btch take over. nicki has the most money, better barz, and a prettier face 🥰
The industry doesn’t need Nicki.
Her glory days ended after she decided to stop making pop music. There’s a reason why Anaconda and Super Bass are her biggest hits.
The barbs are delusional.
Lol this pls tell me what female rappers are making real noise?? I’ll wait…there are NONE. No excitement, no streams, and certainly no ticket sales 😂😂😂 THEY NEED NICKI
Number 58 billboard debut but it went number 1 on iTunes 😉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
WGU is a drill record. Did you expect it to top the bb100? It’s topping the rap and streaming charts tho and the g.p. love the song.
NICKI already called out how the industry played her. The only reason Fardi charts is because she spread eagle for radio play & pop playlisting 🥲🥲🥲 it’s not hard to chart on the H100 🤣 the #1 song is literally 1+ year old!!! Who you think controlling that??! Nicki could payola if she wanted to and chart until you die, it stays the same either way – QUEEN!
She should have called out her husband for playing underage girls.
He’s not a p******** dumb ass
Only reason Nicki had hits in beginning of career was because of lil Wayne and drake she couldn’t do it alone like cardi she needed a crew 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only reason Cardi had hits in beginning of career was because of payola she couldn’t do it alone she needed a label crew to pay for play 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cardi hates her fans, you look like the dumbass she speaks of lmaooo
Everything about this woman is just too dated. She doesn’t fit into the sound of today’s music. That flow, her voice, you hear it and you just think ugh not again! Like you’ve been tortured by hearing the SAME song over for the last ten years.
Lmaooooooooooooo ☕️
All these artists recycling 70’s & 80’s style music but Nicki is dated?? lol
I think True Tea should make a call to the rehab center cause b*tch you done relapsed.
@truetea 💯🤣
