official chart H100: We Don't Talk About Bruno 3x #1, Do We Have a Problem? #2, Ghost #9

[JCsNumba1Fan]

I’m sorry, no matter how you feel about Nicki, this is impressive. She was supposed to be “over” and here she is debuting at #2 and #1 on all her genre charts. It’s a win. Sorry, ATRL. 

[BnPac]

That’s incredible for Nicki!!! I am shocked. 
It’s a missed opportunity that she didn’t debut at #1. 
After so many years that her fans can still pull this is impressive! 
And even when/if it free falls, very impressive.

Okay. Now post the chart stats of some of his other recent features and let’s see his true impact as a feature.

 

Because I’m looking now and so many of his features haven’t even charted, much less went top 10.

Can we not say the same about Nicki? Chile.. 

 

Baby is local as a black man from Atlanta. He's never tried to appeal to an international crowd.  But he pulls the numbers/longevity and Nicki knows that. And yall are so shocked when an act like Gunna can outsell someone like Weeknd for multiple weeks with less backing. 

[Jumanji]

This is very good for Nicki.

 

This site keeps bringing up that she’s pushing 50!!1!1 and a has been. So with that plus all the controversies that should be career-ending that happened just last year, this is amazing no matter how you spin it.

 

And it could fall all the way off next week and that wouldn’t matter when some songs from people who blew up around when she did can’t even reach #100 for a week.

There is nothing impressive about mass buying and having a high peak and then freefalling on week 2.

Ya'll in here with these Paragraphs and Dissertations . Ya'll more invested in this then the barbz.

Well, I understand some people only come in when their fave has a new release but these paragraph exists weekly.

Whether its Taylor, Adele, BTS or Lil nas x.

I really don’t understand people acting like it’s bad. Hardly any of our faves manage to score a #2 debut these days. Hell I know mine certainly can‘t. Well done to Nicki and Lil Baby.

#2 debut these days coming from mass buying is comparable to BTS who ATRL lashes for their mass buying peak songs that don't fare well long term.

 

I think some are seeing the timing to release during a low competitive time, feature an in prime rapper with the top rap album of this decade so far, video, streaming parties, instrumentals for rap songs and it's very BTS in that its driven by sales many of which people purchased at least 3-4 copies and not by organic demand.

 

This isn't the itunes era. in the streaming era plenty artists aim for a strong week 1 in case their song doesn't take off but a hit is determined by longevity. Look at 2020 that was the epitome of #1 peaking songs vs #1 hit songs. Top 10 peaking songs vs Top 10 hit songs.

 

Travis got flack for it....BTS got flack for it...Taylor even got flack for it.

 

It's more so consistent criticism on the attempts to game the system to claim an alternative fact #1 and when they win it gets flack for #1* and when they reach top 5 instead there's flack for the failed attempts to tip the scale and still not make it to the summit.

 

It's not just Nicki. It's done with any artist who tries to tip the scale for a cheap peak.

but kudos to Nicki and Lil Baby...still a top 3 hit

Nicki has had way more success as a feature than baby has has during her prime first of all.

 

Y’all trying to make it seem that this is all baby’s impact but if that were true his other features would be pulling these same numbers.

 

When has baby ever pulled off these type of digital sales? Because Nicki has done it multiple times. So you ain’t gonna convince me that he/his fan base pulled these numbers.

[Cryptique]

So what is the predicted freefall?

Hopefully, That's What I Want top10 this tracking week

Okay. I’m not her public defender, but I think it’s great that 13 years in her career, regardless of the tactics, she can still pull off a #2 debut when everyone is literally salivating for her downfall. It’s impressive to me. You want me to copy and paste what you said and put it in my post to silence my voice? Now quote someone else because my mind ain’t changing — and the most ironic thing of this all is that I don’t even stan Nicki Minaj. Never posted a single thing in her base. And I’ve critiqued her when I felt she was outta pocket, though not as brazenly as others because there’s something called “code.” One thing I will not do is undermine a Black woman’s success or exploit their failures; it’s counterproductive for me as a Black man. 
 

If Nicki wants to rant and rave, that’s her prerogative. But I don’t think it’s necessary. She did well enough when I guarantee you most didn’t think she’d scrape the top 10, mass buying or not.

I'm not the biggest Nicki fan but that is great for how long she's been in the game! Some of your faves can't even chart and you're laughing at a Number 2? 

not you getting brave with that avi 

 

[Bindi]

Impressive debut for Nicki. Good 4 her 

[_Fey]

At least the second week drop won't look as sad since it won't be falling from #1.

People here trying to say she is not meltdowning. What does "no sexual visuals" or "rappy rap song" have to do with anything?

 

When "Do We Have A Problem" was released, Nicki did a plethora of radio interviews and said she thought female rap music was overly sexual at the moment and she's not in the headspace to create that type of music anymore at the moment. She didn't want to release music that was expected of her or do what is popular at the moment. So, what she tweeted isn't random and she's not having a meltdown. Once again, my point is proven regarding how y'all create false narratives in your head to try to paint a false image of people. Sad. But, go ahead and continue to embarrass yourselves.

Yeah sorry but there’s no way this can be spun as a failure. She really won  

 

[slw84]

20 top 10s is great, though.

let me update my list.

People have been saying the points for a #1 lately have been extremely low 

They are. Typically in January/February/April/July/October there are low points for the top 100 in the hot 100.

Alot of stagnation and higher peaks than normal when the chart is more active.

Like to look back when he h-h-h-h-hit that
Ass and thighs, that's where I'm thick at
Told his ex she ain't gettin' that dick back
I call bae, "Yo, where that stick at?"
(Tell that boy come get his ***** back)
If they act up, we gon' fix that

I **** him like a boss

Big whips, sound like his drip
Big stick, a hundred clips
If it's givin' what it's 'posed to
I might put it on his lips

This proves nothing since 1. We're discussing music & 2. "Bussin" isn't about sex in general. Reading comprehension is such a fundamental skill that a lot of people seem to lack.

Youre still writing paragraphs. Over 60% of points were from streams, and it is still stable on AM. This is not a BTS situation or a Taylor one tbh. It wasnt fueled by mass buying. Nobody here was expecting a mainstream hit. Like did you hear the song?  Its done its job in terms of re-introducing her. 

[I.T.]

You guys are PRESSED LOL

 

Nicki is a 30+ female rapper, who is supposedly over, that just debuted in the top 2, 15+ years into her mainstream career. She’s been charting since 2009  like it’s not the drag you guys think it is but I must say it’s nice to see some members giving Nicki her props.
