1,108,557 music lovers have purchased Nicki Minaj‘s Hip-Hop single ‘Only’ in the USA since its release on October 28th 2014!

Yes, after peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, sales of the song have earned it a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and makes it the latest song pulled from her new album ‘The Pinkprint‘ to earn a plaque for itself.

For, each and every single pulled from the album can boast of being gold, platinum or double platinum, reaching their respective peaks without the Top 40 radio support the rapper enjoyed with her first two albums, ‘Pink Friday’ and ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.’

    CUEING THE WANNA BE A nIGGY FANS IN 5..4..3..2..1 ROGER!

  2. metzo April 11, 2015

    that’s amazing. Congrats

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. April 11, 2015

      It is not amazing. HOnika Garbaj is a singles artist. How is it amazing that a track feature three big names went platinum. Yes, Drake, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne helped it go platinum.

      Has the Pinkslip even sold 800k worldwide yet? Has she even hit 600k in the United States with the Pinkslip? Barfz love to trash Iggy’s sales, but her sales are in the same ballpark as HOnika’s and HOnika is supposed to be the “biggest selling female rapper of all time.”

      HOnika is an overrated singles artist with no classic hip hop album. Nobody will be playing HOnika’s songs in clubs in 20 years like the Queen of Rap’s All About the Benjamins and Quiet Storm verses are still STAPLES in the clubs. HOnika is just a little swagger jacking b**** from Queens and a Lil’ Kim superfan who ran with her blueprint and had a little success, but she will never compare to the Queen Bee Lil’ Kim when the history books are written. HOnika is a fad and she’s 14 minutes and 50 seconds into her fifteen minutes of fame.

      • iLoveMusic April 11, 2015

        Nicki has surpassed Lil Kim. Try again!

  3. Keri Qween April 11, 2015

    Too bad the album won’t cross that mark

    • Mya Gave Birth To Ya April 11, 2015

      Too bad Keri took an early retirement.

    • I’m Booked April 11, 2015

  5. Iggy on top April 11, 2015

    Who cares… Nicki minaj will always be lil kim under study lol nicki is a joke in this rap game. She sold her soul to tha devil for a check. She sneak diss iggy on “big daddy” feat meek mills (the corn ball) nicki always sneak dissing other female rappers when she feel threatened. But iggy is unbothered honey. She nominated for more awards then you nicki. Billboards are f****** with iggy b****! Not you.

    You don’t hear iggy worried about nicki, why would she be, iggy is doing her thing. F*** A MINAJ B****! Iggy is that b**** now. Who gives a f*** about a b**** who can’t keep her big mouth shut when it’s time. Trust me, if nicki keep popping off At the mouth. Iggy just may drop her a few bars and really disrespect her on some real s***.

    • Everyone’s A Critic April 11, 2015

      Iggys initial sales COMBINED with the re-release sales STILL do not match THE PINKPRINT!
      Iggy don’t drop bars.. Child can’t even formulate metaphors and her diction got her vine famous! You’ve seen that mess of a video. Child can’t even do her nursery rhymes live.
      NICKI is SUPERIOR to Iggy… Brush up on your books cos this stanning s*** ain’t working for you

    • iLoveMusic April 11, 2015

      Iggy can’t rap, on stage or in the studio. She could never sell as much as Nicki. Wait on it…!

  6. Lake Erie April 11, 2015

    Congratulations Nick!

  7. african music lover April 11, 2015

    Please stop embarassing Iggy like that.

    7/11 ; 628,863
    Caesar I bet: 160,002
    Four five seconds; 1,544,046

    • Mark111 April 11, 2015

      *dies*

    • Everyone’s A Critic April 11, 2015

      7/11 is a club anthem and stays PLAYED a, hardly a song that was made to sell
      FourFive Seconds is a comeback single MADE to sell as Rihanna always does with a comeback single
      I Bet is an R&B single with sales that will not equate to that of a pop song that belongs to Pop Princess rihanna.
      So before you put 3 unrelated songs from completely different genres together to throw shade.. Brush up on your logic and research something called CORRELATION!

      • Rihboy April 11, 2015

        Your logic has a hole. I bet was definitely a comeback single. Stop making excuses for failure to sell. I bet tanked so badly she is getting ready to put out a dance version featuring t.i and nick Jonas. Flop using more flops to revive and already dead single. Bey had dj mustard do a remix of 7/11 and the song still tanked. So before you start throwing big words out there make sure you do good research. I’m pretty sure you took a science course or two.

      • Ciara the Flop April 11, 2015

        Excuses. Excuses. The best song won. The original song won. The least ratchet song won. Stop making excuses for Rihanna’s lessors and encourage their “fan bases” to support their less fortunate faves.

    • TheElusiveLamb April 11, 2015

      Keri Hilson: 2 albums, 0 certifications, 0 relevance, 2 fans, 0 number ones, 0 vocal talent, and 1 nest. Why are you yapping?

      • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

        Keri has a gold album and multiple gold and platinum singles UGLLLYYY

        And your talking out of your s***** ass about her vocals, watch some of her acoustic performances like Knock You Down ; she can definitely sing very well stay in your lane you nappy headed b****!

        How many top 10 singles in the last 10 years does Beyonce has over Rihanna??? #TheRihannaReignWontLetUp

    • Alex April 11, 2015

      Do your research h**! Drunk in love 3x platinum, 7/11 and partition platinum! Don’t try it! #Youmusthavegottenthatshitfromwikipedia

    • iLoveMusic April 11, 2015

      Regards of her sales, she will remain one of the top female artists. Ciara, Beyonce, Rihanna, & Nicki are the first ones that come to mind, when you think of black female artists… when there’s a topic about Bey or Ci, the “Navy” will throw shade. & it’s the same with the “BeyHive”, “C-Squad”, & the “Barbs”. Y’all comparing sales, instead of comparing music. No shade, but “I Bet” sounds much better than “7/11” & “Four, Five Seconds”…

    • Ciara the Flop April 11, 2015

      CLOCKED!!!

  9. Lil Kimmie Chang {HONG KONG KIMMIE} April 11, 2015

    ON.I.GGA! hollaback why did Queen Beyonce do a track with this w****, she should of had Queen B Kim Nguyen on it.

    • Barb-wire April 11, 2015

      • Lil Kimmie Chang {HONG KONG KIMMIE} April 11, 2015

        Queen fortune cookie snatches up your fave STAY MAD PUNTAS

  10. Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

    That’s great for an urban single. Not these Rihanna fans in here throwing shade at album sales when their fave is still scared to release her album after three singles. She’ll be lucky to see gold. Unless she discounts her album as usual.

  11. TRUTH SERUM April 11, 2015

    Keep quietly slaying Nicki!!! Haters you can kill yo self!

  12. Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

    Not this stupid B**** comparing urban 7/11(which was not promoted) sales to a comeback pop single. Let’s hope her ALBUM sells 1.5 million in the states! That’ll be hard without a #1, as she already struggles for platinum with hits. Lmaooo

    • Skyfall April 11, 2015

      Actually Rated R was plat BEFORE Rude Boy topped the charts, which was the only #1 she got that era.

  18. robyn April 11, 2015

    I bet is a Flop and its a comeback single just like four five seconds so I don’t know why you keep making up silly excuses cos it aint like ffs was a club banger, aniway congrats nicki but its time you realesd new music #Feeling myself, the night is still young or beg for it

    • iLoveMusic April 11, 2015

      Rihanna always aims for that #1 spot… the fact that she isn’t getting it this era has the “Navy” bothered. Ciara & her team weren’t aiming for a top 10 hit with “I Bet”… However, Rihanna & her team were sure that “FFS” & “BBHMM” would blow up, but they were dead wrong. You can’t just throw stuff together & call it a song, especially if you want it to top charts. So, try again.

  19. Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

    @RihGirl
    Beyonce didn’t have Dj Mustard do anything. That remix was unofficial and completely his own doing. 7/11 didn’t “tank”. It’s a top twenty hit, video went viral and stayed atop urban charts for five weeks. It is also a club favorite. I hear it at least twice when I go out.Bey didn’t promote it either unlike BBHMM, which barely made it into the top twenty with all of the tweeting and promoting she had to do. Stfu and worry about your fave being scared to flop.

  20. Jencarlos Canela/ Marlene favela April 11, 2015

    Lol @ u guys….pink print has been certified… it has sold 3M tracks with streaming it has sold 1M…. I’m not even gonna go on…. u guys an urban single that was trashed and look down upon is plat people in sales…. this without top40 u guys…. S/O to the people that says Nicki cannot sell urban singles…. this I congratulate her…. Imma leave this here… “im still getting cert from my records that’s urban”- NM…. bye
    Not that igloo fan above thou…and the Jeri flopsin fan thou how about “No slay allowed”

  21. Centurion (American Oxygen) April 11, 2015

    “Anyways Beyonce made it in the list of Women with the most top twenty hits with 22!!!” ➡ LOL. As if that’s something to celebrate. #7YearsAgo – Now that’s something to celebrate. 😆 #BeyHiveLogic

    • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

      No we celebrate multi-platinum albums….How many Generic100 #1 singles will it take your girl to finally get one??

      • Centurion (American Oxygen) April 11, 2015

        My girl sells more around the world than your local fave. Your fave’s last album hasn’t even crossed 4M nor can it push singles. Don’t get me started on its failure to get hits. #EpicFail #TryAgain

      • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

        Lmaoo I just love how the navy brag about Rih’s AMERICAN Hot 100 singles but switch to WW sales when they are faced with the fact that Beyonce still outsells her in the US. #ClassicNavy LMAOOOO
        .
        Beyonce’s album is at 3.8 Million WW(More than UNA btw)…That’s all with no hits or promo boo. Bey is still selling regardless. Let’s just pray that your scared fave can match those sales with her struggle era before you run your d*** sucker. #BookMarks 😉

      • Centurion (American Oxygen) April 11, 2015

        UNA is at 4,2M. It was reported back in December 2013. Have you forgotten or do you like people repeating themselves over and over and over again? Pathetic.
        |
        And are you stupid or something? How are you gonna side step the fact that Rihanna sells more WW than in the US? *Facepalm* Again, pathetic. Even those “LMFAOs”, no matter how long they are, are not gonna help you.
        |
        Rihanna is more global than Beyonce, thus the sales difference. That’s what’s got you steaming, and I love it. 240M records sold in only 10 years. Meanwhile, Beyonce’s record label are scared to release hers, or maybe they’re just not that impressed for an artist of her caliber. 😆

  22. Mark111 April 11, 2015

    The excuses these stans come up with when their fave underperforms. 7/11 is a single for a rerelease, but let’s not act like Take A Bow and Distrubia weren’t singles for a rerelease either and they both went #1. Sure Drunk In Love went to #2, but XO, Pretty Flops, Flawless and so on all flopped. Oh and Partition. So save the excuses, FourFave faced the song
    Of the decade Uptown and a new classic Thinking Out Loud. Drunken h** was blocked by Dark Horse and don’t dare call it generic because Drunken H** is nobody’s timeless classic.

    • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

      7/11 is an urban ratchet track. Are you seriously comparing it to take a bow and disturbia?? Two pop singles that were over-promoted like first singles. The GGGB ‘re-release was PROMOTED like it was a brand new album. Bey didn’t’ do any promoting for her album. She just released the singles and most charted decently on their own. Let’s not forget the album is double platinum. Obviously people were checking and valued the entire body of work as opposed to dollar singles. Do you honestly think Rihanna songs would be charting if she hadn’t have done any promo? She has to! No one claimed DIL was timeless or classic but it was considered the song of 2014 OVER Dark Horse by several sources. DIL’s impact is undeniable. # Surfbort #Watermelon #IbeenDrankin AND a grammy…BYYYEE! DIL could have been a #1 if she was tweeting and performing everywhere like Rihanna. Hahaha I also love the excuses you make for Rihanna. YOU said it would be her 14th #1. Now it was too much competition. I can’t with you!! 😀

      • Mark111 April 11, 2015

        Lmfao, the very first sentence was an excuse. Wasn’t Dark Horse a trap song tho? Wasn’t Royal the same? Stop it. I’m not fonna bother reading the rest.

      • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

        How was it an excuse? Last time I checked, the Hot ten and twenty of the Hot 100 Ian’t fillked with urban ratchet tracks. Pop radio won’t support it like they would Four Five Seconds from county fair.
        .
        I am DYYYINGGGGGGG @ you claiming Royal and Dark Horse as trap! B**** I’m done!! Gtfoh

        Ummm I’m confused. Does Aaliyah or Rihanna own an AOTY Grammy??? Beyonce has twenty grammys. I’m sure she isn’t losing any sleep. The Hive will be the Hive. Why so bothered?

      • Mark111 April 11, 2015

        No, but Taylor does. And I don’t hear the Aaliyah and Rihanna fans calking them Queens of every feaking body. Back on subject, Taylor kills Beyoncé in awards and sales, yet no one is calling her a queen.

      • Slay_Hive April 11, 2015

        Why are you clinging to Taylor when neither of your faves have that award. That’s what I’m trying to understand. Lol and every fan base calls their faves Queen or King. It just brings out insecurities of other fan bases when the Hive says it. Maybe because it’s true! Several legends can back my statement up, as well. Beyonce is the most awarded artist alive babe. No one is worried about Taylor’s awards and sales. The Hive never even come for her. Only you lessors bandwagon on her sales because your fave doesn’t measure up. Hilarious. Taylor is a Queen. A country Queen who’s selling pop music better than your fave. No wonder Rig is so scared to release..Too much competition. Looks like she’s waiting til the coast is clear. Haha

  31. TheElusiveLamb April 11, 2015

    Not Kershaw Queen coming for anyone and talking about lessors. B**** you can’t breathe without being a co-signer to Blue, Mark, and etc comments. B**** your fav has has had more Beyoncé CDS thrown at her than she has sold in her entire career. Are you really trying to brag on those bird chirps and pretend that they are notes?
    You stan for one of the biggest flops in the world. DEAL WITH IT FRUIT LOOP.

  34. King B > ur fave April 11, 2015

    I know the navy is not here talking thrash. the Queen’s last album is multiplatinium, something their fave has been incapable of doing for years now. partitiion was an urban smash that is now platinium, 7/11 was an Internet sensation that peaked at #13 spent 2 month in the top 20 and Also became platinium, and DIL peaked at 2# and was a worldwide hit and is multiplatinum. How many steam you think rihannna has left? 45s didn’t outsell not outpeaked DIL and it makes you so mad that you keep coming for the the single that is supposed to close the era 7/11 which BBHMM failed to touch in anyway shape of form Hahahaha I understand the meltdown the so called Queen of ITunes is tumbling down and now she is faced with a decision either release another flop controversial single for attention or just go ahead and release the album sell 180k first week and eventually stall at 600k or less then beg the rcaa for a play certification based on shippment now check on that!
