base talk What would be considered a success for Pink Friday 2?

[GiftFromGod]

In terms of:

 

First week sales:

Weeks in the top 10:

Week on the charts:

Overall units moved:

[Cheers]

It actually getting released this week would already be considered a success

[trainsskyscrapers]

150K+ opening week. (Anything less would be laughable after allegedly "selling out" physical/vinyl editions on Amazon, Target, and other retailers multiple times.)

5 weeks in the Top 10

52 weeks overall.

1.5M units.

~

5+ debuts on the Hot 100. (If Cardi B, SZA, and Beyonce (x2) can debut whole albums, and Megan Thee Stallion / Doja Cat can debut 3-5, surely Nicki Minaj can do more than 5.)

 

Good luck, guys!  

Pepperidge Farms remembers who populated those Stationheads sending out Renaissance leaks. 

[punisher]

since she is the self-proclaimed queen of rap, claimed that this album is legendary and will change the industry these are THE MINIMUM

 

- 8 Pitchfork score

- 250k First week sales

- Another #1

- All songs charting

- 20 weeks in the top 10

- 4 Top 10 hits

- 70 million first day streams

A meltdown on Nicki’s Twitter with more than 100,000 likes so it can be considered “viral” and we can open a thread on ATRL

It’s also during Christmas season to be fair to her. And Sza definitely outdid almost everyone not named Taylor Swift.

[Nickimeetsatrl]

Anything over 150k is a huge success for any artist.

[Bhabylon]

If the barbz can get through the week without all these fake ass stats like “first female rapper who’s brother is named Jelani to go #1 on iTunes in Antarctica” then I would say that’s a good sign

 

[She-Rah]

A #1 solo single 

[khalyan]

She said it would change the music industry so I expect her to outsell Adele's 25 opening week 

[Gladiator]

Releasing it on the release date will be a great accomplishment!

[zoldyck]

She simply need to outdo Cardi next album.

 

No matter how tragically it bombs, if it outdoes CB2 she will be happy and find a way to spin it into win. And no matter how successful it is if CB2 ends up being bigger she will be butthurt.

 

Same applies for Cardi, both are obsessed with each other.

[Big Bad Wolf]

Non-stop meltdowns for our entertainment value = a success

[fememeist]

For travis scott to release an album same week

[ImpressMeMuch]

Can we just make it to Friday 

 

[popmusicisdead]

she said it will change the industry so if it's not SOLD OUT 1st day on Spotify it's a flop, i'm afraid

The First two Points would be awsome enough.

[HEAVYONIT]

- 150k+ first-week units (Queen did 185k)

- 1.5-2M units total (Queen is at almost 2x platinum).

 

Anything else would be the cherry on top 

 

Looking forward to reading all the unrealistic expectations posted in here

She already has that from this era…next

[FOCK]

Rn the budget is an iPhone & a dream, & the promo is lives & vibes~✨

 

As long as the material slaps, it’s a success for me. She’s already got a solo #1 from the album, so that’s that trivial obstacle outta the way. I’d rather she serve lyricism that goes over most people’s heads. She’ll be outdoing the crusties in her field, regardless.

150k-200k and at least 8 weeks in the top 10 or else it's kinda bust. It also needs to consistently stream well in it's first month. A big streaming debut followed by a collapse is not gonna cut it, but at least a healthy streaming debut would be a good place to begin.
