Nicki Minaj Eyeing Highest Sales Debut in Almost a DECADE as ‘Pink Friday 2’ Predictions Revised UPWARDS

Published: Tuesday 12th Dec 2023 by Sam

Nicki Minaj looks set to make a pink splash on the Billboard 200 with her new album ‘Pink Friday 2.’

Hotly anticipated, the project was unleashed on the femcee’s birthday (December 8), and, as reported, it’s sailing towards a historic #1 debut on the coveted count.

Now, on the back of ample buzz and the addition of further tracks, Minaj’s first-week sales predictions have been revised upwards.

Full story below…

According to a mid-tracking-week update from Hits Daily Double, ‘Pink Friday 2’ is now aiming for a sales launch just shy of 200,000 (199,000).

The sum serves as a jump from the 170,000-190,000 first forecast for the LP.

Should the number hold, it’ll see ‘Pink Friday 2’ become Minaj’s highest-selling album in almost a decade.

‘The Pinkprint’ arrived in 2014 and launched at #2 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of  244,000. Follow-up, 2018’s ‘Queen,’ also opened at #2 with 185,000 copies sold.

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k+Camila) December 12, 2023

      Cardis album sold way more first week, doll

      • NickiTheUndisputedQueen December 12, 2023

        Girl u dont get to use cardi is been 6 years and she still afraid to drop the second album 😂

    • Messy Bardi Gangsta December 12, 2023

      Keep Cardi and Kim out of this cause they already did better than this disaster. She isn’t even outselling Cardi last album who is the only artist on your list that isn’t basically an underground artist. None of them girls are superstars or super sellers so what is your point? Beyoncé sells better, Drake sells better, Taylor sells better, Cardi sells better, Rihanna, Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Trainor, hell even NBA Young Boy sells better. NICKI CAN’T SIT WITH THE BIG DOGS, this a flop

      • NickiTheUndisputedQueen December 12, 2023

        Cardi is shaking in her boots to realease her second album never mind the fact that her label foesnt want to put it out because she syyill owes them money from the first one because of all the payola

      • Dr. Baby December 12, 2023

        Cardi a whole damn flop and Rihanna never sold more than Nicki. It took her 7 tries just to get a #1 album with her no singing ass. Cardi needs to stock up on Valtrex for that h***** and the lip ring she has make her look more dusty than she already is. Offset don’t f*** with her stanky p**** ass

  3. Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

    Invasion of Privacy = 255k (4x Plat)
    💿 💿 💿 💿

    • BARBZ December 12, 2023

      Renaissance movie = flopped

      • Messy Bardi Gangsta December 12, 2023

        Renaissance Movie = $30 million dollars in 3 days
        Pork FlopDay 2 (Early Projections):
        24 million STREAMS = 88K raggedy äśș dollars in a whole week.
        Nicki could never do what Beyoncé does. Even Renaissance sold 200K in PURE SALES. Plus 100K in equivalent streams. Leave Beyoncé and Renaissance out of this flop mess

      • Dr. Baby December 12, 2023

        These made up numberssss actually the Renaissance movie did less than 25million in their opening weekend Taylor did over 90. Second weekend she tanked and only did 1 million. She gonna do 300k by 3rd week. THATS A flop stop worrying about the queen of rap when yall old bad knees fave ain’t touching her. Go cry about it !!!

      • Beyup December 12, 2023

        Why is a Barb mentioning Taylor’s numbers???? Oh that’s right, Nicki doesn’t have a leg to stand on!! Nicki cannot compare to Beyonce in any way, shape or form. Keep arguing with the Latto fans. They’re more y’all speed hunny.

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 12, 2023

        LOL TAYLOR WASHED THAT FLOPAISSANCE CIRCUS STOP

    • big pippin December 13, 2023

      your comparison to a 5th album is off hun…..Cardi first week sales 1st (and only) album with payola – 255…..nicki’s 1st album sold 375 first week. Cardi need about 4 more albums to compare.

  4. Farrah’s luggage (8k+Camila) December 12, 2023

    Still less than cardi 😂😂😂

    • Dr. Baby December 12, 2023

  10. Kendrick Slaymar December 12, 2023

    Presale singles,
    Streaming farms,
    10 album buys per stan,
    Clearance discount on album to $5,

    And look. Without all the manipulation, she probably wouldn’t even see 100K in organic sales.

  11. Nicki Minaj December 12, 2023

    Haters in here grasping at straws aww yall mad!!!

    • December 12, 2023

  12. FLOPAISSANCE December 12, 2023

    LMAO MORE THAN FLOPAISSANCE, THAT SHYT DIDNT EVEN SELL 150K PURE SALES FIRST WEEK LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

      Renaissance = 200k pure sales plus another 130k in streams…

      for a NON-POP album, that’s great. Still the 3rd biggest debut week of 2022 and not to mention, Renaissance was the FIRST album by a female to go #1 in 2022. Also outdid ANY Rihanna album pathetic first week numbers.

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 12, 2023

        LOL YOU IN PAIN RIGHT NOW HUH LMAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 12, 2023

        LOL STOP LYING FATSO, FLOPAISSANCE ONLY DID 140K PURE THE REST WAS ALL STREAMS, U KNOW DAMN WELL YOUR FAVE CANT SELL ALBUMS LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

        In terms of traditional album sales, Renaissance posted the fourth-largest sales week for an album in 2022 with 190,000 albums sold. Additionally, the album sold 26,000 vinyl copies in its debut week.

      • Yo December 13, 2023

        Beyonce convert movie has now fallen to fifth place after earning $5million (£3.98million) in its second weekend, a 77 per cent drop, taking its total US haul to $28million (£22million), and $33million (£26million) globally.

        Taylor has done 250 million globally.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

      Beyonce isn’t POP…

      BUT Nikki is RAP which IS a MAINSTREAM genre, unlike R&B DISCO DANCE & HOUSE.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

      Beyonce went #1 with no PROMO or Visuals.

      • FLOPAISSANCE December 12, 2023

        LOL JUST PLENTY OF PAYOLA LMAOOO

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

  13. What Would 50 Do December 12, 2023

    Nicki has sold more than Sza, Sza can’t catch up to Nicki in the same amount of time

  14. Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

    Renaissance spent 3 months in the top 10.

    Pork 🐷 Friday will be lucky to last 3 weeks

    😆 🤣 😂 💯

  15. Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 12, 2023

    With 10 reviews ‘Pink Friday 2’ currently has a Metacritic score of 71. It is the 296th best reviewed album on Metacritic this year.

  16. UHoesFunny December 12, 2023

    First it was “Nicki won’t get a #1 solo single” *gets #1 single w SFG* then it was “But she won’t get a #1 album with Pink Friday 2” *get’s #1 album w PF2* then it was “Oh but she won’t sell more than 50k” *sells over 200k* 💀 now it’s “But I bet she won’t stay #1 for a second week” 🤣🤣🤣 the Garbage gang will forever move the Totem pole every QUEEN NICKI proves the dirties wrong lmfaooo.

  17. Lou December 12, 2023

    Even Beyonce sold 190k first week so this is huge for Nicki.

    Cardi however sold more with 255k first week… but payola and sympathy will get you that.

  19. What Would 50 Do December 14, 2023

    500,000 is the new tally.

  20. Chey December 16, 2023

    I thought last week was predicting 500,000?

  21. Chey December 16, 2023

    Wow…this thread didn’t age well, lol. She only sold 200,000 and that’s WITH the $5 dollar chart manipulation special
