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:
65,000-75,000
[Sales Plus Streaming]
*******
9,000-11,000
[Pure Sales]
Solid, especially given that this skews more towards a “for the fans” venture.
Hardly solid… Drake’s mixtape/ playlist sells 100s of 1000s
Drake and nicki are not the same people. Nicki is a female rapper.
This us a 12 year old mixtape.
Let the Barbz tell it she’s the biggest artist on Earth. They were all over twitter saying she broke records and outsold all the girls. Her sales never reflect the s*** they talk.
Drake so far gone (2019 re release) sold: 45,000 equivalent album sales (and 7,000 in actual sales).. Y’all just be saying anything to discredit someone lol.
Naw for Nicki to have the clout she think she has her breakout mixtape being readily available should have bigger #s especially since cardi’s debut still charting.
@Biancacook Very few rappers, male or female are capable of doing these numbers on a re-relased 12 year old mixtape, in this day & age. & You really tried it comparing this to Cardi’s 1st ALBUM💀
This b***** is always running for a Drake feature when she’s scared to flop. That’s why they fell out in the past.
That’s nice congratz to her.
Her fifth album will sell a FRACTION of this 🤣
Her song fell from number 1 on iTunes that was quick 😂😂😂
w Why are you laughing you looking in the mirror or something
Flop ass song even with drake and Wayne she flopped 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Considering the mixtape is old… this is great for her. I think she should work the Seeing green & Fractions joints… give us a cinematic video theme for it. Oscar type sh!t. Make it a movie..
And I think she should do an official BIG BUDGET video for the Itty Bitty Piggy record too….. that’s a fan favorite right there. And for the nostalgia. I forgot how much sh!t she was talking on that joint.
Word.
Honey, NICKI is THAT BIHH…and on her way back and all of you jealous heathen hoez WILL deal Chile! 👑👑👑👑👑👑‼️
Them singles sliding down iTunes quick 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much did beam me up scotty sell in 2009.
