Official Charts: Nicki Minaj’s ‘Anaconda’ Rises 28 Spots In 7 Days As ‘The Pinkprint’ Slips & Slides On Albums Chart

Published: Monday 29th Dec 2014 by David

Since its release on October 28th, Nicki Minaj‘s Hip Hop bop ‘Only’ has sold 399,125 units, set to cross the 400,000 mark by the end of this week.

Impressive, right? A reminder of the rapper’s commercial prowess, right? Of course.

So, can anyone explain where said commercial prowess is hiding in the UK?

You know, where the rapper’s latest album ‘The Pinkprint‘ is now on course to fall out of the Top 40 two weeks after its release.

After debuting at #22 in the market, the last week has seen the album slip to #36 on the ‘Official Albums Chart’, now just five spots away from being booted out of the Top 40.

One word to describe ‘Pinkprint‘s UK chart run thus far? Shameful, currently outperformed by John Legend‘s ‘Love in the Future‘ which debuted 56 weeks ago, but sits comfortably at #23.

However, the entertainer is faring much better on a singles front. For, 12 weeks after it touched down on the chart, her single ‘Anaconda‘ has risen 28 spots on the ‘Official Singles Chart’ in seven days, doing so after her sleeper hit ‘Va Va Voom’ crossed the 1 million units sold mark in the USA.

Though one couldn’t tell by looking at her continued success in the US, there are serious errors being made by whoever’s been charged with marketing Nicki Minaj internationally.

Seriously one has to wonder why an act who can sell out multiple dates at multiple arenas across the globe takes such a “local” approach to pushing their material, doing all of nothing to keep her hype above water in markets she owes a great deal of her success to.

For, while some acts enjoy Kim Kardashian-like public profiles but Nelly Furtado esque sales, Minaj’s album, ticket, perfume, beverage and single sales prove the general public are more than happy to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to supporting the star.

So, unless “flopping” outside of the US is part of her agenda, here’s hoping Ms. Minaj gets her global promo act together…fast!

    And yet this delusional Barb @CT had the nerve to try Beyonce instead of supporting the pink print from bombing outside of the States. I’m sleep doe.

    • iKeepG@ysHumble December 29, 2014

      I though you loved Nicki?

      • Eloviano December 29, 2014

        @IKGH I do but I will not tolerate lesser stans coming for the Queen. They must know their place.

      • no noooo nooooooo! December 29, 2014

        She needs to tone down her ghetto thrash image…just like Gaga.

      • You tried December 29, 2014

        Nobody is paying for this over hyped sh** talking record! THROWing out songs like ONLY come on who the hell wants to hear drake rap about his alleged feelings for nicki and we all know the sh** is FAKE AND LIL WAYNE ….crickets???? My point NICKI IF BEY ARIANDA AND JESSE DIDNT SAVE UR CAREER SHE WOULD STILL BE IN THAT SAD STATE OF MIND THAT SHE WAS AT THE BET AWARDS

    • December 29, 2014

      ELOviano stop making uo lies, when did the barbz every try to dis beyonces. f-ckout of here with you made up cr@p, and who the f-ck you calling lisser whot he f-ck are you, you think because you are a fan of beyonce you are automatically somebody, f-ckout of here with you delusional @ss.f-ckers like you always be coming for other peoples fav for no reason and you expect them to take it because your fav is beyonce,f-ckout of here i love beyonce but anyone of her fans come for Nicki i am clapping back simple as that no diss to beyonce.

      • RCi December 29, 2014

        I agree, Barbz haven’t dissed Bey… If anything the Barbz have been showing love for Bey. The Beyhive need to return the love as it’s obvious that Beyonce has love and respect for Nicki and her talent.

    • You tried December 29, 2014

      Her delusional fans WENT HARD ON ANOTHER “VERY” Famous and PAID MC ABOUT HER ALBUM SALES!!! Hunni Minaj had a good start in the industry and will continue to be successful in other ways but album sales are only loyal to THE LEGENDS AND ICONS THAT MAKE “MUSIC” “Musical” not lil rhymes and crazy s*** talking records!

  2. Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

    As we all know, she has done 0 promo outside the U.S. … Not a single thing. We know the obvious problems with the physical copies, I still can’t find it anywhere. It’s to be expected. When she does stuff in other countries it will surely change.

    • badnastydingaz December 29, 2014

      dats her n her team fault ,another flop album this is lol

      • Nicki Will Slay December 29, 2014

        Actually, Iggy is what u call a flop. YMCMB & Universal should have been working BED OF LIES on POP radio in the UK and ONLY on the 2 major urban music stations in the UK.
        I blame Universal for lack of radio promo. Her manager needs to get in their A**.
        Nonetheless, I am sure Nicki will go to the UK and Europe to prpomote her CD next months.
        I hope she does performances on French, German, and UK TV.
        Those are the 3 biggest European markets.

    • You tried December 29, 2014

      @catfishcarey we don’t always agree but I agree with you 100%%%%. These so called BARBZ will talk NO PROMO TALK UNTIL THIS ALBUM FALLS OUT OF THE TOP200 completely lol. Yall say SHE THE QUEEN RIGHT !!?? The QUEEN NEEDS NO PROMO TO GO NO1 and go TRIPLE PLATINUM RIGHT! ONE QUEEN IN PARTICULAR HAS ALREADY PROVEN THAT VERY ” RECENTLY”

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        But apart from the US there’s been no promo lol, idgi, what’s so hard to understand… and whoever you’re referring to as ‘Queen’ isn’t comparable to Nicki so bye with that

      • Nicki Will Slay December 29, 2014

        the only sales u need to worried about it Iggy. Has she gone gold in the UK yet??????????

        Her album was released in May right?
        Why can’t Iggy sell albums????

  3. Del Bey December 29, 2014

    I agree, international promo is needed, the hype was actually ridiculous for Pink Friday, every country she went too, she had screaming fans, people have grown tired I guess, she needs to reinvent

    • Sherry December 29, 2014

      PF will forever be her greatest era. She’s crap now.

  4. I die 4 nicki December 29, 2014

    I’m with David on this one, the promo hence sales are shameful &
    shambolic. I’m really disappointed!!!!! Its super annoying because its a fantastic album!!!

    • maurice December 29, 2014

      gurl. bye.
      i dont hate the bish, but pinkprint is not what I expected.
      I expected Pink Friday 2.0

      • Nicki Will Slay December 29, 2014

        Pinkprint is her second best album.
        It’s getting great reviews.
        She just needs to go to Europe/Japan/UK…. I am sure she will so give her time.
        Nicki’s intl sales will be fine.

  5. CATFISH CAREY December 29, 2014

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Pls Moo Moo & Ling Ling started their beefs, don’t be silly. They deserve everything they get, losing ya vocals day by day to be overpowered by a white girl and the latter, instigating beef by making terrible remixes only to then release her music on a website she can’t afford to run.

  9. Proc December 29, 2014

    Sam, you’ve GOT to lightening up on all these ads and clutter you have loaded onto this site. Your blog takes forever to load and the automatic ads that randomly start playing are inconvenient and annoying.

      And she still is the current queen of rap. Bumping ‘Want some More”

  11. Uncle Jay December 29, 2014

    Nicki is not global..making ghetto music that will likely last for another 2 years. In meantime enjoy your 400k.. 🙁

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Uncle Jay, more like Uncle Tom, lol FOH. I’m not even gonna comment on the non-global foolishness, all her stats suggest otherwise. & Nicki’s music really isn’t ghetto, how ignorant.

  12. TheFlopPrint December 29, 2014

    Lol Nicki flopped. Weren’t her stans in here saying she will sell over 300K and even outsell TNC overall sales and end up having the best selling rap album.
    Well guess that didn’t happen Iggy’s album may be plastic but she has the best selling rap album by a female rapper and second best rap album of 2014 lol

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      What you read here doesn’t amount to “all her stans” for a start. Despite this being her lowest first week it’s more than both of Piggy’s so stop comparing… like really, it’s silly.

  13. no noooo nooooooo! December 29, 2014

    Nicki and Gaga…not even 5 years and yet struggling. Maybe it’s time to change your image and the genre. It is not working.

  14. Mimi4Evah December 29, 2014

    We Lambs are celebrating… 😆

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Aww well celebrate by watching that performance of your Queen butchering, sorry singing her most notable single. Enjoy xo

    • False Teefs granny December 29, 2014

      Celebrating cowriahs last flop album being outsold by Nicki?

  15. MariahIsMusic1 December 29, 2014

    She had the EMAs, On The Run Tour & Christmas week. The excuses tho lol. Keep them coming

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      EMAs wasn’t this month, OTR was even older and wasn’t really promo for the album. Pls keep your failed attempts coming.

      • CATFISH CAREY December 29, 2014

        WHAT ABOUT HER MULTIPLE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE COVERS AND SPREADS IS THAT NOT PROMO?

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        Aww, after I told you this before you had to google things Nicki’s done this year, cute. Let me correct you yet again, in this very moment only two non US covers come to mind. Dazed and L’uomo Vogue. Dazed was September & Vogue October but nice try 🙂 xoxo

      • CATFISH CAREY December 29, 2014

        BYE B**** I DIDNT GOOGLE S*** I REMEMBER TGJ POSTING ALL THEM MULTPILE COVERS SHE WAS FEATURED ON
        YOU CAN RUN AROUND USING THE NO PROMO EXCUSE CARD IF THAT WILL MAKE YOU SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT
        SHE HAD BEYONCE, COPY AND PASTE GRANDE AND KATY PERRY ATTACHED TO HER ALBUM BUT STILL FLOPPED THIS BADLY LETS HOPE HER TOUR MANAGES TO BOOST THE LITTLE POPULARITY SHE HAS LEFT 🙁

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        Calm down on the caps lock babe, it really doesn’t validate your point. It’s cute that Nicki’s various articles on this site are at the forefront of your mind despite the fact you hate her. She hasn’t done promo though, it’s really not an excuse, it’s the truth. Ariana Grande barely pulls in her own sales so adios or whatever the Italian equivalent is. Katy isn’t attached to the album she co-wrote a chorus & bridge I assume, This is how we flop shows she ain’t Sh!t right now either. The album hasn’t flopped but keep dreaming for Nicki’s downfall. Her tour will be very successful like her prior tours and Nicki is very popular. 1 week of sales doesn’t detract that. There’s been SO MANY problems with the album but of course TGJ trolls are Stevie Wonder to the truth. If you would like to continue while I point out the flaws in your posts, don’t scream it at me x

  16. Temara222 December 29, 2014

    • Nicki Will Slay December 29, 2014

      SCREAMING….

  19. MariahIsMusic1 December 29, 2014

    “Zero Promo” the big excuse lol. She was HOSTING the Europe Music Awards & performed also creating a huge buzz, the biggest awards in Europe.

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Yes the award show in Scotland over a month ago, the timing worked with Nicki’s original release date, not this one.

      • The Denial Is Hilarious December 29, 2014

        Just stop. You look pathetic, hon.

  20. MariahIsMusic1 December 29, 2014

    What I hate the most, is that she’s so cocky like she even calls herself the best female rapper ever, claiming that Kendrick took her style? BISH WHET???! SB should hit her with his briefcase again! The more she flops the more delusional she gets.

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      She actually said she’s the best female rapper.. RIGHT NOW if you actually watch that interview and not read inaccurate quotes. In regard to Kendrick, that’s not what she said either. She said when she done voices etc people criticised her for it but applaud Kendrick, highlighting the bias. Obviously her point went straight over your head…

  21. african music lover December 29, 2014

    David went in on this one,but he told no lies,you cant sell a lot internationally without proper promo,the act that surprised me was Beyonce,her international sales were impressive considering the no-promo approach she took… but this Nicki sales are embaracing to say the least,and i like how the barbz have gone silent,it reminds of the Hive during 4 error,,,,

  22. MariahIsMusic1 December 29, 2014

    Beyonce’s 4 was never a flop. It outsold Rated R, Unapologetic, Talk That Talk, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, Femme Fatale, Born To Die, Bangerz, Artpop, The PinkPrint, MDNA etc etc. So don’t compare it to The Pinkprint.

    • candace December 29, 2014

      why you never take account rihanna ww sales? rated r, unapologetic, ttt outsold beyonce’s 4 ( go to mediatraffic) we all know that us rihanna sales are not too great but her ww sales are three times more important than us sales and ww sales includes us sales!

    • african music lover December 29, 2014

      for beyonce’s caliber it was a flop..look how long it took to hit the 3mil worldwide,and it out sold those rihanna albums in the state but worldwide and single wise, Rihanna outsold her…so yeah 4 was a flop.

    • Jtrok December 29, 2014

      The US is the world’s biggest and most important music market. How well your album is doing Stateside is paramount — especially if you’re signed to a US-based label and its your domestic market. WW sales are icing, the US is the actual cake. Sorry, but WW sales are what you cling to when your US numbers are subpar. If your US numbers are good, then WW sales are just a nice perk. ‘4’ was an “under-performance for Beyonce,” but not in general. MANY artists today would love to see their albums do its numbers. How many other albums can sell to current hit standards with poor promotion and not any real hits? I know albums with several top 10 singles that didn’t do 1/2 of 4’s business. That, in and of itself, makes a statement. Beyonce can sell on her name alone, and NOT pander to the latest fad/trend, or work like a s**** trying to not leave any stone unturned. Rihanna, Nicki, Iggy can’t.

      • Brian310 December 29, 2014

        People cling to the US when they can’t get WW figures that are decent…sure there are people who would want 4 numbers now just like there are people who would want Rated R numbers the market is terrible

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        You can’t compare Beyoncé’s career to Nicki though. How long has Bey around? Are they even the same genre? No. & it’s downright disrespectful to put Iggy in the same sentence as Nic, Bey & Rih…

  23. Prismatic December 29, 2014

    Nicki flopped because she is OVER exposed and her music is too all over the place. She dont know if she wanna go left or right, be pop or hiphop. The world loves her but is tired of seeing her at the same damn time!!! J cole slayed her with NO promo because people want REAL hiphop. If nicki woulda put out a hiphop album she would have did numbers. She too busy tryna be a pop princess & white people have iggy now, so they paying nick DUST. She shoulda catered to her BLACK audience, especially after running around comparing her album to jay z blue print!!! She zigged when she shoulda zagged!!! #noshade

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      One Nicki hasn’t flopped! Nicki doesn’t have to choose one genre, she’s versatile and should be able to express that without coming under crossfire from people who wouldn’t buy her music whichever avenue she took. J Cole is a man, had A LOT of promo, don’t be ignorant to the power of social media, and would never come under such crossfire. Nicki’s album isn’t pop at all. & she didn’t compare her album to Jay Z, the only similarity is the name. The ‘BLACK audience’ don’t buy her Sh!t anyway, they’re stuck on Super Bass & Starships despite all she’s done from like the end of 2013 to now, for example. Boss Ass B****, Chi-Raq, Yasss bish, Lookin Ass etc

      • Prismatic December 29, 2014

        Really is that the route you intend on going with this “argument” J Cole is a MAN who sold almost TWICE as much as Nicki with no promo , no gimmicks, no marketing campaign, no calendar, no movie! In fact, Nicki is a bigger star than him you wanna talk about social media yet Nicki surpasses Cole when it comes to followers on instagram, twitter and facebook. Nicki has been on every major and relevant award show except for the Grammys

        You can make as many excuses as you want, it won’t bring back those 60k album sales she loss from her second album. Can’t wait for the PinkPrint: Reloaded with more features and multiple personalities.

      • Doyen December 29, 2014

        You say “versatile,” I say inconsistent and flighty. Nicki either doesn’t know who she is as an artist, or is trying to horde multiple demographics for her own personal gain, while not being totally true to any of them. A real artist can build a diverse audience by mastering one general thing well enough to lure in different people from their individual boxes. Types like Nicki walk into a room, bounce around different tables, trying to be everyone’s friend while not truly being one to anybody.

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        Yes I say Versatile, because she is. You may find it inconsistent, that’s because you don’t understand Nicki. It must be hard trying to find a balance with everyone trying to put her in a box and confine her to one genre. Hip-Hop side have issues as she’s a female, they’re stuck on the old skool is better complex, feel she sold out making certain songs and generally won’t forgive it. The pop side generally don’t get Hip-Hop so won’t appreciate it. Why does she have to pander to one audience therefore somewhat alienating the other. Nicki does have a very diverse audience but both the pop & hip-hop audiences have conflicts with Nicki’s music. Don’t say a real artist as to imply Nicki isn’t, you really don’t understand what she goes through. Also, don’t say types like Nicki, no one is like Nicki. All of this is so annoying…….

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      J Cole is man in Hip-Hop meaning it’s very easy for him to outsell Nicki. NO PROMO? LMFAO He’s had social media buzzing by ‘caring’ about ‘black’ issues and going to meet fans and chill with them. Unconventional, but promo nonetheless. Any awards show was months ago and of course a hater will tell me I’m making excuses. Excuses or truth tho? J Cole is respected, Nicki will ALWAYS have severe hate and come under crossfire no matter what she does. You literally ignored everything I said and focused on social media and again missed the point I made.

      • Essa December 29, 2014

        You say that Cole is respected, which is in part why he did those numbers. Okay. Now ask yourself why Nicki isn’t as “respected” as he is. Is it because she intentionally caters to a shallower denominator with shallower, more lackluster music? If so, then she deserves what she’s getting. Let this be a lesson about making dumb music that only appeals to idiots who wanna twerk all day long. Substance is more compelling than silliness. My anaconda don’t…my anaconda don’t… 🙄

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        No female would be as respected as the males first of all. Secondly as I said above somewhere, the hip-hop audience still persecute Nicki for Super Bass et al. She doesn’t cater to any of what you just said. Your post really shows how much you know about Nicki. She barely makes twerking songs, many features on songs as such but not personally, eg on her album. Anaconda was never designed to be taken seriously, it’s a fun song to dance to, therefore it fully fits it’s purpose. You, like how you are trying to portray her fans, are very ignorant and simple minded. Take Anaconda for what it is, you cannot say her music lacks substance based on one song that was never designed to be taken any other way than at face value. If you actually listen to her album, you probably haven’t, you’ll see otherwise. Bandwagon on the hate, bandwagon on Anaconda. How about you actually listen to Nicki, mixtapes til today?

    • Nicki Will Slay December 29, 2014

      what’s ur excuse for Iggy flopping?
      She is trying to only cater to a white audience and she can’t sell albums

  24. Meme December 29, 2014

    Taylor block nicki #1 again. lmfao I kno she cant stand taylor right now. I honestly feel the numbers are solid for today’s market. However they would have been much more higher if the album was release during the time everyone was talkin about nicki when anaconda and bang bang dropped. they didn’t capitalize off that period at all.

  25. OH December 29, 2014

    Nicki literally SHOWED HER ASS and still flopped after that desperate ass lapdance she gave in Flopaconda, released her pill popping anthem P*** N Floption, and had the audacity to try and COPY Iggy with that Bed Of Plastic s*** she made, and now shes walking around talking about “I don’t care about the charts” B**** PLEASE . U would have cared if it went #1

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      She didn’t fully show her ass, Anaconda was released in August, PNP in May so…

      What part of Bed Of Lies is reminiscent to Igloo? Like Nicki hasn’t worked with females before Pigz even truly started her career… FOH with that bs

  26. Beysus December 29, 2014

    Well she did drag out the singles before it dropped… She should’ve released it around the Anaconda hype…

  27. Taylor swifts number 1 fan!! December 29, 2014

    WW sales: @taylorswift13, “1989” 483,000 (4,619,000 total).

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      Are you serious, did that album sale over 4 million already? Wow!!! She’s the silent killer.

      • Taylor swifts number 1 fan!! December 30, 2014

        Yup. Her sales are really that much!! Biggest album of the year now

      • Bosslady December 30, 2014

        Yep, her album sales has surpassed Beyonce’s latest surprise album, but hey ev1 loves Taylor for some reason that I can’t figure out

  28. Yo Yo December 29, 2014

    Her label spent all that money promoting her in the U.S. and she still couldn’t pull in Drake’s number. There’s is no way based on her promo and popularity that she should’ve come under 500K. Yes, that’s still doable in today’s climate. She basically did 100K more than KMichelle and that’s not good for Nicki’s caliber.

    Don’t forget that her single Only also shares fan bases with Drake, Chris, and Weezy. Anaconda didn’t get better until she got naked. The direction of this album has people puzzled.

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      Where did you get those figures from, I mean how would you know how much her label spent?? It would have been National news ala Gaga style if it happened. Based off her first two albums first week sales, there’s no way the label expected 500k first week. Almost 200k in the first week is great sales. Only a few artist are hitting those numbers.

  29. BeyBeyKing December 29, 2014

    Talk about PROMO! She had a calendar, a “movie”, a “breakup”, she slayed with Queen Bey, just to have numbers similar to Rick Ross and T.I. (no disrespect to them), but she is the QUEEN! She needs a new PR team because J. Cole and Taylor, and D’Angelo made her look like a rookie this past week.

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Pls Taylor is white media pop darling. J Cole & D’Angelo both used a huge matter to their advantage, not to say they don’t care, but they’ve literally used the biggest ‘black’ issue at the moment for promo. You know Nicki has as many ‘haters’ as fans, ‘haters’ who all went and illegally downloaded and spread links.

        OMG stop with the EXCUSES! People simply did not find NICKI worthy of their coin. Nicki had one biggest promo campaigns this year. Combine that with her publicity stunts and outbursts she should be selling at least 275K. She sold like 65K more than Tamar f****** Braxton KIIIII….

      • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

        Gracie… Girl… You’re really ignorant. Publicity stunts and outbursts? Lol I don’t even wanna know what bs you’ll spew about that. Combine everything you’ve just said with all her hate, the early releases in other countries leading to hundreds of thousands of illegal downloads. Remember this is the second best hip-hop debut, best female hip-hop debut & second best female (all genre) debut, sometimes don’t hate. Sometimes realise the decline in sales, period!

    “SCREAMS I DON’T want none cuz I Might GET SILICONED” oh I kill myself with the DRAMA SHE JUST DIDN’T make it & her Fans Are MADD!! TRICKI GARBAGH SUCKS!!

  31. MariahIsMusic1 December 29, 2014

    Hopefully she scans gold.

    • Prismatic December 29, 2014

      She will with streams

  32. Yo Yo December 29, 2014

    Why did she sell only the Deluxe version. Did her label have enough money to press two CDs?

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      Both of them are on sale, what are you on about? Lol

  33. MDNA2014 December 29, 2014

    So, J Cole sold over 350k in his first week with no promotion or features while Nicki did not push 200k in sales.
    ,
    I’m confused. All of her appearances, Twitter interaction with fans, arguments with SB, and insinuating that her and Meek Mill hooked up was for nothing? Still no #1 debut. She is declining artistically and in popularity. The calendar didn’t even help. Awww. Let’s see how long it takes for this album to go platinum. Hopefully this is her last album, I’m not a fan of granny-rap.

    • Jay December 29, 2014

      Nope, 3 more albums to go.

  34. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 29, 2014

    I love Nicki but this era has been messy. The singles were all over the place plus she has had way too much over exposure for both the right and wrong reasons. On top of that,the international promo was a mess. I hope she gets her global campaign together soon. It’s a shame because this is her best album yet and deserves recognition.

  35. Impact December 29, 2014

    Save the excuses and rationalizations. Just reconcile that this album is going to struggle commercially and move on. Nicki was called the Hip Hop version of Gaga back in 2011, well, this is her “ARTPOP.”

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      How do dumbass Nicki first week sales was less than 20-27% decline while Gaga was at least a 85% decline. Where is your logic. Fail!!

      • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

        *dumbass, Nicki first week sales was less than 20-27% decline while Gaga was at least a 85% decline. Where is your logic.

  36. Jason December 29, 2014

    The way her fans hype her up she should’ve at least pulled 300k ww.45k is a huge disappointment.Not even 100k.Hopefully this teaches the barbs a lesson….Shout out to truth for draggin this thot

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      Her international promo is coming… “You haters suck so bad I call yall BJ “.

  37. The Denial Is Hilarious December 29, 2014

    Where are all those disrespectful ass Barbz that were here last week after those “streams” came out? I don’t hear y’all. Why is it so silent in here? Y’all were doing way more than the most with shading every other stanbase. What happened to all that?

  38. ok December 29, 2014

    I’m going to say this as a fan
    1: the album is very good
    2: she has the second highest hip hop/female first week sales..
    3: this era is like the pink Friday era(promotion wise)…she is gonna use the tour to bring the album back even if it falls off….don’t tell me abt EMA…a month ago..
    4: hopefully, if it sells very well in the US it can help the WW sales..
    5: pls don’t start on twitter, instagram followers cos most of her haters on here follow her/ international haters/fans
    5: HDD says TPP sold 201k, hiphopdx said 198k, bb said 194k
    6: jcole did a lot of promo…going to fans houses
    7: she ain’t owing record label shits…cos she actually bring in money for them more than others sees Ariana ,Jessie j..etc
    8: don’t say excuses,excuses cause when they published 201k all haters ran away and no matter how u put it it sold 244k
    9: don’t get me on bla bla Iggy has the highest selling female rapper album of 2014…lmaoo who released apart from her apart from azalea banks in October before the billboard year end chart? in 2012 Nicki has the highest rap album (sales) not only females but generally
    10: 244k in 7weeks >>450k in 10 8 months…who flops on their debut album with a 1hit?
    11: ain’t coming back don’t @ me… 65mill record sold…6-7M album sold*drops mic*

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      Read dem fools!!!! Thank you!

  39. african music lover December 29, 2014

    I dont know whats more pathetic, the album sales or the excuses from the barbz…. face it,this error was a mess,all the way from the single choice and their sales to the album sales….didnt starship reach something like 7mil worldwide? so how much did anaconda sell? This is a big mess

  40. Rosie December 29, 2014

    wowowow so even after that attention seeking softcore porno which was forgotten by the next month by most of the GP and now had less views than Taylor’s Shake It Off (which the Bratz were bragging about “slaughtering” on VEVO back in August), the song still hasn’t crosssed 2 million worldwide and the album won’t scan half of that total. A shame.

    • Nicki is queen!!! December 29, 2014

      wowowow you’re still here chatting Sh!t on Nicki articles, seriously why are you so concerned? Worry about Lana…

      • Rosie December 29, 2014

        One is well past 1.3 million worldwide with literally no promo while the other will be lucky to scan 900K worldwide with almost a year of promo and 5 singles. Who should be worried?

  41. F*** Onigger December 29, 2014

    • TRUTH SERUM December 29, 2014

      @catfish, get your racist trolling ass a new hobby. Miserable trailer trash

      • CATFISH CAREY December 30, 2014

        THAT AINT ME YOU C***

  43. cold love December 29, 2014

    The cd is catered toward a more rough hip hop sound and solemn rnb urban sound. Without a fluffy,soft,and safe sound, the UK won’t care about Nicki. She has no starships or superbase this era.

    Also, the problem with her cds overseas and target should get people fired. I got two target copies and both are messed up. One i bought online and one in the store. Then, when I tried to go online and purchase, the album did not even come up. Not a good look for a new album. I heard the same happened overseas. You have to wait until january 6th for a new fixed batch. What a mess by her label.

    Where is J cole on the UK charts?

    Anyway, I perfer the US market if I was an artist and she needs to fix those cds asapor her numbers will contiue to go down.

    The Artist-Artist Music Review

    Anaconda*Nicki Minaj

    Video/Song Review
    by Teo Tioliendo
    Artist/Artist Muzic Review*

    Muzic is all about the beauty of attraction, about the body, about beautiful women, songs about a woman’s sexiness, about a woman’s smile, her eyes, her walk, her dance, rarely is muzic about a woman’s b***, though the curve and lines of the female hips are beautiful to the eye, in their design toward captivating movement, and motion, like we experience in muzic, that show the sensual excellence of truly outstanding eye catching figure of Nicki Minaj. In her muzic art from the front, s***, to the curvacious all the way round to the back, so wonderfully formed with curves and lines, curvy, rippling, bumping, confident rump Nicki Minaj brings the big, Anaconda video, bodies with moves so earth moving, there is sexiness that’s island, and earth shaking. We are entertained with dance moves that stroke, thrust us into the sexiness from babes, bodies, and beauties, while our minds are listening, and our eyes are circling thick and smooth moves to the tune to bodies women can take pride in, the pride of their sexiness as women. Love of the booty almost turns to lust as, striding the chairs, moving bodies stroke to a beat to crush our resistance and catch us stumping, while arm lifts, s*** lips, and gymnastic tumbling beauties flip us to the colossus beat, to wrap us up in the sweetest treats that bounce down on our focus. The love of the glorious, s*** body of a woman is a natural thing, whether she is wild and wearing a little, or exercising, cooking with a curvy smile, or dancing with that innocence that shakes us up cause she still got that something, big and beautiful, whatever she is doing, knowing she had to have been given that something for a good reason, her muzic then adds a beautiful reason, in her Hip Hop song and video, its a big season for a beautiful b***, its undeniable, its so rappable and Nicki Minaj has something beautiful about it to show, in Anaconda. The MC’s side of the big b*** let women know what men like, what women can’t hide, and that’s alright, if only for your eyes, cause they like big butts and every woman got something pleasing to the the artist eye in hind sight, cause every woman is fine, big b*** and all in the beholders eye. Women who like to show off their curves, know a s*** b*** strikes a nerve, in their muzic video, and besides really s*** women never feel the need to get completely n***. There is that body move, there is that catchy tune beating down the walls of the room in the muzic to entertain you along with the view, while in art naked, semi-n***, the n***, the s*** too, is a pure expression, in muzic its in the intimate love song nudity or sexually expressive muzic art, dance, movement, shaking to the beats with s*** well endowed bodies is appealing to these times where stripping, sexually explicit videos, echoing s** and body love, over selfie love, or self love, or love of somebody else, is pleasing and personal, it is not always with the golden morals we should show in s*** desires. But b*** is unto a category of its own in Hip Hop and R&B. I have to once again say, there nothing more beautiful than the female body, but the woman with a beautiful b***, gets all the attention, but she will have to catch her breath, cause men also want to give her all the love, real love. Love of the beauty of a beautiful booty, is enough for muzic lovers who like to shake it. Some men especially think having this beautiful one is enough. To get the Big One* the biggest catch the Anaconda of them all, we she walks by, jaws drop, hearts follow the sexiness, who thought the body to shake em up like this. The video Anaconda make mouths water, the great b*** will always be s***, loving, curvy, women willing to give men the opportunity to enjoy the fantasy of seeing the curviest beauty is Niki Minaj sharing the hottest, sexiest pure aspects of sexiness that creates a memory for the lasting pleasure, cause that’s the art of the b*** that stirs stuff up. Nicki Minaj has a gift for making her sexiest videos, the muzic ripe along with her best assets, having a big, Anaconda, huge affect on us, who love a beautiful s***, woman, s*** video, s*** song.
