More good news has arrived at Nicki Minaj‘s front door this morning.

Details below…

November 2010 delivered the rapper’s debut album ‘Pink Friday.’

Sales of the set crossed the 1 million units mark within the first month of its release and this year, almost six years after its release, the set has been certified 3x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Released before streaming points were factored into the certification system, the Pop and R&B-kissed Hip-Hop effort reached the milestone by way of pure sales, supported by the singles ‘Right Thru Me’, ‘Your Love’, ‘SuperBass’ and ‘Did It On ‘Em.’

Minaj isn’t the only artist with good news to celebrate today.

The British artist MNEK has learned that his Zara Larsson-led cut ‘Never Forget You‘ has been certified Gold in the United States.

Released via Epic Records, the single joins a long list of hits penned by the former, making its way to U.S. retailers on September 10th 2015 after it was certified 4x platinum in Sweden and peaked at #5 in the U.K.

  6. Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn Is ? April 15, 2016

    Congrats I guess. Even though streaming plays a part in it going triple platinum.

    • Lea April 15, 2016

      Smh, gul read! They said “Pink Friday” not “The Pink Print”. That s*** was platinum or even double platinum well before the whole streaming thing took over.

      • Weezy Tha Goat/Zayn Is ? April 15, 2016

        Pink Friday was stalled st 1,9 Million before this new streaming rule. So u want me to believe that it SOLD 1,1 million copies out of nowhere? This new streaming rule wifi be the death of the music industry.

      • blue April 15, 2016

        it was already 2xplatinum on pure sales already, 3xplatinum its that much of a difference when the album is already a success.

      • Faf April 15, 2016

        Yea pink Friday was platinum a month later in 2011 it came out Dec 2010

  7. Theman April 15, 2016

    Pure sales of this are only 700-800k. Talk about Inflation….

    • GEEZUS95 April 15, 2016

      Talk about illiterate the article mentions Pink Friday NOT The Pinkprint

  8. King B April 15, 2016

    Did it really sold 3 million though? Maybe they include sterams , cuz theres no way it move 1 million units when its not even charting, but still congrats! I do not want to see any navy mention ” thanks to stream, she finally… bla bla”

    • Lea April 15, 2016

      You mean sell 3 million, smh!

    • blue April 15, 2016

      it sold about 2million in pure sales and the rest is paid streaming.

  9. Annalise April 15, 2016

    @FakeLikeLadyCaCa I CANT witcho eböla-carrying ass talking about ‘clinging’ when all you do is brag about other hœs ‘drags’, instead creating any of your own. Clinging to the cüm-squad of all people!!! LMFAO @ShïtLikeLadyCaca you’re the as basic as they come !

  10. Cake like Lady GaGa April 15, 2016

    @ANUSwig and i cant with your nigerian azzzz repeating the same “drags” for the 745897455254th time and thinking you’re actually dragging

  11. Annalise April 15, 2016

    @ShïtLikeLadyCaca BÏTCH you don’t know what ‘dragging’ is. You were slaughtered a few days ago which is why you conveniently went into the witness protection program once everyone clocked your racist ass! KIII and for the millionth time calling someone Nigerian is not a ‘drag’, and is only proving my point!

  12. Abel Minaj (Arianator Barb) April 15, 2016

    3 multiplatinum albums, how many does frih have again?

    • Janet Fevah April 15, 2016

      ?????

    • Music all the way April 15, 2016

      I think one,thanks to the rerelease of GGGB

    • blue April 15, 2016

      if rihanna was to certify her s***, gggb would be 5xplatinum, and loud and unapologetic about 4x each.

      • Barb B**** April 15, 2016

        Looool!

    • HailBeysus April 15, 2016

      Kiii!!!! She’s allergic to Multiplatnium status ????

  13. Stacia April 15, 2016

    I think streaming is a great way to let us know whose being listened to. I can buy a cd and listen to it not like it and NEVER listen to it again and who would know? Streaming lets u know straight up who ppl are listening to. I think its great cuz alot of ppl sale of their name and once the music is bought there’s a sale whether the music is good or bad. Thats the point of it all if u ask me, ppl got so lost in charting all the different charts and there favs quality of music was forgotten. Now we will know who makes music the world likes, who are the underdogs and who is nothing but hype.

  14. Barb B**** April 15, 2016

    Oops remember when Mark999 didn’t count this because it was streaming? Now he clings to it for dear life. Where is my congrats?

    • Annalise April 15, 2016

      OOOOP remember when Marsha said he was going to come out the closet when TTP went platinum ???? EYE SCREAMEDT!!!

      • Barb B**** April 15, 2016

        Lmao this self hating closet Queen will not come out of the closet even if Aaliyah was resurrected.

    • King B April 15, 2016

      He will say “but Rihanna own her masters and does not earn 7%”, but dragged the Hive for celebrating Beyonce topping Forbes highest paid musician list. They are hypocrites. They dragged Gaga and Jay Z. And they said the reason why Drunk In Love and 7/11 outchart ffs and bbhmm because of streams.

      • Barb B**** April 15, 2016

        Kiii the self dragging though.

  15. blue April 15, 2016

    it actually sold 1.3mil more than that figure you have in your comment.

  16. .:: Centurion ::. April 15, 2016

    Ivy Park is still not sold out. ? There’s plenty of stock available on Topshop.com. Told you this Beyonce fansite stays reaching.

  17. .:: Centurion ::. April 15, 2016

    Beyonce’s net worth dropped from 450M to 215M last year, & this year Jay Z dropped from 650M to 552M, their total now is 767M https://t.co/94XRZXpBEG

  18. oscar April 15, 2016

    thus album has sold about 3.2 million WW so it’s definitely streams included.

  19. King B April 15, 2016

    LMAO! I remember Beyonce earned 87 million somewhere in 2008-09 and 2013-14 was like 100 million, and that’s already nearly 200 million. And don’t forget she earned 40 million in 2011/12. But anything to downplay her success I guess, despite that her money is enough to feed her family for 100 years. So, Navy don’t worry too much. You guys are probably upset because Bey stole Rih’s shine. Maybe the reason why she gave formation for free is because she wanted to give Rih a little spotlight. Charity queen. 🙂 I would be mad too if my global superstar turn out to be flopping in UK, Australia, France and Japan.

  20. King B April 15, 2016

    Australian Album Chart- Anti #44
    UK Album Chart- #23
    Not Sia charting higher than Global Queen. Not Honeymoon, Artpop, Bangerz charting higher. Not Beyonce went silver in her first week. Not Prism debuting at number one. Not Beyonce going from arena to stadium tours despite 17 years career. Not Beyonce having 45 magazine covers, not beyonce covering vogue September issues. Rihanna is indeed a queen.

  21. Kwinzy April 15, 2016

    I’m sorry for not being sorry but the Pink Friday is such a forgettable pop-rap album. Like who still bumps Right Thru Me or anything else a part from Super Bass these days? I actually fully forgot about that song till I read it in this article. Nicki better be glad her core fanbase of little girls and gays still in their training bras support her because grown folk are SO OVER this female Flo Rida trash.

  22. Mariah April 15, 2016

    But dahhling, when will she go diamond?

  23. HailBeysus April 15, 2016

    Congrats Nicki!!!

  24. k April 15, 2016

    congratz to her, Nicki Minaj is always doing her thing.
