base talk Pink Friday 2 is an instant success. Surprised?

[barbiegrande]

No, white gay millennials being mad is always a GOOD sign

[VFAN]

The haters are livid that she is performing well. The excuses 

[sciencemagic]

congratulations to the "queen of rap" for charting well on the music service that's more popular with rap/hip-hop 

 

Like another user said, I'm sure people were interested in hearing her new album, but we'll see what the second day drops look like on Spotify and Apple Music

[Katamari]

no its her first album since 2018 there was a lot of hype 

[dumbsparce]

I'm happy for her. She deserves to have a big moment like this after carrying the genre for 15 years. I know the general consensus is that the album is kind of underwhelming but I like how light and breezy it is.

If this was anyone not named Nicki Minaj, yall would be gagging behind these numbers and saying Nicki is done. Probably the most hated artist on the site and yall can’t stand it doesn’t translate to the real world.

[FOCK]

Not surprised.

Kii @ the pressedtitutes tho.

Nicki has proven time and time again that she is an artist and writer – she's a Stunt Queen, sure, but the music/talent always speak volumes

Less than a day since PF2's release and it's already skyrocketing up the AM chart with over 8 songs in the top ten. The album seems poised to dominate the chart entirely.

 

To compare, Scarlet and Traumazine had 0 tracks in the top ten at this point. Queen had 5 tracks (its peak)

 

Seems like PF2 is an instant SMASH for Nicki and female rappers overall. Surprised? Why is this happening?

Anything above Queen is a success. Nicki has already outperformed her previous era when it comes to singles, as for album tracks streaming anything above Queen is a success.

Yes. 
 

Queen Latifah was nominated for an acting Oscar 14 years after her mainstream debut album (2003) and scored a number one box-office film the same year with “BDTH”.
 

She was also nominated for two Grammy’s for her jazz cover album the following year, winning one. 
 

She would win an acting Emmy and Golden Globe award 25+ years after her debut (2016).

Not her shamelessly sampling Move Your Feet and calling it a day. 

 

Lazy. I hate this time in music. It's only samples that are not even reworked to make the song different 

Sampling isn't new lol - in fact its extremely common for 21st century music. Just because you're more familiar with the samples Nicki used doesn't make the practice new.  I didn't see the same energy when Cardi's first two #1s also involved heavy sampling. Ya'll are just haters - if the song is good, it's good. who tf cares about what it samples

Errrrr you're talking about industry awards? The post was about being in demand? How much was Queen Latifah selling 14 years into her mainstream career and were people hungry for her music? I think that's the question. 

[Phaunzie]

No, shocking that the usual suspects that had so much to say are absent. All that stress must have gotten to them, so I guess they had to listen to Bongos to destress.

Not a Nicki fan but give credit where credit is due folks. 

 

The performance of this record, even if it's just for a week, has basically cemented Nicki as a music icon.

It’s common for established artists that debuted in the digital era to smash first 24 hours lol debuts and peaks mean nothing in the streaming era if there’s no longevity behind it 

Well she didn't debut in the digital era and its an impressive feat in and of itself to debut that high (even if it plummets subsequently). Not a lot of female artistes can say they've been able to do something like this.
