Both Sides Now Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone. Unfortunately, Nicki Minaj’s catalogue of songs is forgotten. Why? If you didn’t know (and I don’t blame you if you didn’t), Nicki released a compilation of 29 songs called Queen Radio: Volume 1. The compilation is selling ~13.8k per week; with ~8.8k coming from Super Freaky Girl. That means only ~5k sales are generated by her whole catalogue of 28 “hits”. It’s very likely it won’t even chart without her Dr-Luke-penned-track Super Freaky Girl. What is it about Nicki’s catalogue that is so forgettable?

Both Sides Now Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 And before people claim it’s because some of the SPS of other songs aren’t counted… read this: https://twitter.com/talkofthecharts/status/1359284202819227654?s=46&t=V3X4pKDWWdQjfmFyqnJYkw None of Nicki’s albums have charted in years so it’s not due to the SPS getting sent to her previous albums; they’re each pulling less than 5k per week. I’ll remind everyone that this compilation includes 2022 singles Do We Have a Problem? and Bussin’. Why is she so forgotten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridayteenage Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 well of the top 3 hits her previous albums got, anaconda is just a tribute cover to a better song. super bass is cute but nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBAVEASP Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 She’s ban from radio. Radios are still a huge platform for recurrent airplay with wide to average audiences. That's why Katy, Ed, Rihanna ang Justin’s hits are still remembered to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvarie Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 How could it be forgotten when people who don’t like her take their time to track streams and sales? That’s impressive! It means people care about her success and music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s impressive! It means people care about her success and music They’re forgotten because 28 of her singles are pulling considerably less than 10 year old+ albums by Lana/Gaga/Katy etc. Considering there are two 2022 singles on it too it’s doing quite horribly. I just happened to notice how horrendously her catalogue is doing compared to her contemporaries when I checked the latest HDD. It doesn’t bode well for NM5, but then again - that will probably never happen! Edited October 23, 2022 by Both Sides Now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is she so forgotten? SCREAMING The way this colossal flop has so little to show for such "longevity". This is pitiful... The answer is she has an awful catalogue, out of which barely 3 songs are ingrained in the consciousness of the GP. During the vaccine mess all the news outlets dragging her would only acknowledge...

KillingYourCareer Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 A lot of her songs sound very much like of her time, and she had several meme hits which don't age well. But everyone knows Super Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosque Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Most of her hits have been cheesy pop songs that aged terribly. Who wants to listen to Starships in 2022? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I always thought the daily streaming stats of her studio albums were very underwhelming for an artist that has such a passionate and loud fanbase online. I guess they need to focus on hold more streaming parties instead of bullying other female rappers. Edited October 23, 2022 by Scars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know the tracklisting on the album but are all of her biggest hits on that compilation??? Personally as a stan from 2009-Jan 2015, I think her catalog hit like Mc Donalds chicken nuggets hit the spot for the moment. I think out of 200 releases, I'd say alot of her songs seem to fit a certain time and don't stand beyond that time. She has some songs that people still enjoy but the brilliance of Drake's catalog (early on) was that it went beyond it's time. Now his new stuff chile but they still stream it, though (not me). I think for a female rap album to have legs it has to connect beyond hardcore fans. Casual fans and fickle fans need to delight in the catalog. Bandwagon fans always fall off after the new car scent smell fades and post comeback. If you look at Kim's Hardcore, Missy elliott's catalog, Lauryn Hill's Miseducations, Cardi B's IOP, they are not predominantly enjoyed by hardcore stans. They have alot of casual and fickle fans to partake. For some reason, I didn't think all of her huge hits were on her compilation anyways. Does someone have a breakdown of the numbers that make up the additional 5k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always read your posts in Lauryn's voice 1 hour ago, mariahcarey said: Quantity over quality. You are making a valid point. I remember billboard did a breakdown of her top 20 most successful songs and like 15 of them were features and out of the other 5 only 2 were rap songs. I wonder if that has something to do with it. Do features count towards the artists page? Likely not...probably the main artist page. The Lil wayne effect but Lil wayne has at least one classic album (he has two but one that's undeniable to the hip hop crowd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polgg48 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 most rap girls always got poor recurrent naming missy, kimberly, eve, trina, and those dated nicki albums are no exception. then, if she put in effort on her own songs than writing random verses which imo featuring catalogue sound better too, well quick little money from own grand talent doesnt translate to longevity on nicki case.
