LMAOOOOO where are the haters now🤡
(RIGHT HERE 🤬)
Nicki 1st day Spotify numbers…
🥁
15 million
😆 🤣 😂
Renaissance 1st day Spotify numbers…
🥁
43 million
😭
Notice how u have to compare her to beyonce because the rap girls are not competing on her level
Because Nicki is claiming to be the queen of rap. So why not compare her to queen bey?? Shouldn’t her stats match up to Bey’s??? 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Beyonce is not a rapper so she gunna appeal to the masses more
Bye f** these lukewarm numbers 🤣🤣🤣
STILL less than Invasion of Privacy. I thought the Barbz said she was doing 400k? Why can’t she sell like Beyonce, Taylor or Rih? They never doing less than 300k. Some Queen. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
STILL holding on to that almost 6 yr old f****** album we do not care 🤡🤡🤡 Where that sophomore album at? Herpi scared because she know she done. RAW talent and REAL barz win everytime. B****!!!
Rihanna has never sold 300k first week….😭😭😭
I see what you did there. We tend to forget Rihanna was a SINGLES ARTIST. Her album and tour sales cannot hold up next to Beyonce or Taylor.
The original Pink Friday sold 335k (I think). More first week than any Rihanna album. Hell it took her 7 tries to get a #1 album goodbye😭😭😭😭😭
Its already gold so dont trust these numbers
Flop? Not.
I doubt this album is gonna stick around for very long tho
The album is CREATIVE but will be FORGOTTEN by 2024 Just like Queen was & is forgotten. Nicki has no BIG album outside from PF1.
Creative where?
This is great for hardly any promo and a flop lead single. I predicted 125-150k and I was close. Congrats to Nicki and her Barbz. Truly the queen of rap.
I heard the majority of the album yesterday. My first time attempting to digest a full nicki album 😩.
I surprisingly think PF2 deserves a 7/10 considering I would rate Nicki herself a 6/10.
The beats and production is the strongest aspect. 💯
Idk why it’s being compared to a (9/10) RENAISSANCE on Twitter tho. While every song on B’day sounds like a 3rd and 4th single, majority of songs on PF2 sounds like a flopped 5th 6th or 7th single which is better than Filler music.
I atleast thought the worst of it was atleast OKay but the SINGING as expected was uncalled for and oh so corny as usual. 💯
7/10
Ur the one comparing her to beyonce see ur first comment jabba the hut
Couldn’t even crack 200k after a 5 year hiatus and major twitter hype….FLOP!!!!
Tate McFlop wishes. 🦄✨
All that and she can’t even hit 200k 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BASURA!!!!
40K!!!! 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ill be back to hand out lashings to all u duds when the weeks over and the real numbers are out
That’s all cardi did 255k first week 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nickis debut did 325k pure sales baby
Let’s not lie, these numbers are awesome for how little it was promoted 👏🏻 I’m just glad none of these spins came from me though, ew
Nicki is the Queen !!!!!
Cute enough. The hype would have u thinking at least 300k but I knew better
These weak numbers. I thought she was doing 500k barbz!!! 😭 The tour is gonna do even worse 😭😭😭
You sound stupid af now lol
Weak numbers for her to have a presale for 3 months ahead of release 😂😂
Damm old ass couldn’t even hit 200k during holiday season. Watch her do 10k next week. What a flop ass granny.
Unimpressive numbers but watch the Garbz start making up records “first female rapper with a pęďø husband in LA to go #1 on her birthday yaaaasssssss!!!1!!1!11!!!”
Omg!! They must be giving out haterade for free this Christmas season..😂🤣😂🤣. The FACTS are Nicki been in the game for YEARS and has PROVEN herself time and time again. It’s crystal clear that she has real talent and her accomplishments over the many years show and prove that. She’s worked HARD and DESERVES her flowers. The comparisons are silly, immature and childish because every artist has a specific audience that will buy their music and that they cater to. Grow up haters!🙄🙄 Didn’t ya mammy tell you if you don’t have nothing nice to say don’t say nothing at all.
This album is totally garbage 🗑️. It’s way too heavy on samples and not even one song is groundbreaking. Her lyrics are all the same recycled crap. I expected a iconic legendary album…this is an okay mixtape at best.
The Garbz better work overtime to get her to 200k at least…..😭😭😭😭😭
Overhyped garbage! Not in the class of Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Eve, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot or Foxy Brown. She’s a joke!!
Pathetic numbers. This would be impressive for someone like Megan Tha Stallion but so called Queen should be doing 300k or more ijs!
Good for her. I don’t hear anyone talking about the album in real life so this is a big accomplishment for the Barbz.
In true Nicki Minaj form the 2nd week free fall will be epic. Album will be forgotten within a week , being very generous.
Despite VPN usage on Spotify by multiple Barb accounts, Pink Friday 2 drops by a massive 70% in its second day streams earning only 4.77M streams on global spotify compared to 15.7M on the first day with only 3/22 songs still charting…
Pink Friday 2 has also seen TREMENDOUS drops on the US Spotify page seeing all of its songs take a major dip despite streaming parties, fan made overnight playlists, spotify playlisting, and gag city trends…
Need a prerequisite for two Barbs Get section 8 ???
That’s why they buy it. They’re able to afford it, and she makes the hypnotic tracks that makes the girls run in the store, steal and go!!!
I don’t think there’s a BARB(basically a remedial b****) OUT THERE ACTUALLY, GIVING BARBIE LOOKS !!!!NOT EVEN THE HEAD BARB
Besides everybody
There was nothing of note on that album. There was nothing game changing about it she still everybody’s mom and they’re still all her sons.
Argue with your probation officer
Good 4 her
