i bet you she will sell more versions of the album somehow 

More tracks next week to counter heavy 2nd week drops. Then more tracks in following weeks.

Nicki's peers are Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole and yes, she NEVER gets compared to them because she is a woman and they outdo her in EVERY metric (it's not right but it is what it is) so to see her compared to Kesha and Lady Gaga

They outdo EVERY female rapper. Try to have an unbiased point for 2 seconds.

[jesus del rey]

So this is the supposed queen of rap? No good albums, all flops and only pdf files in the building

It’s called knowledge of the female rap music industry, you should try to get some before you comment.

This shows that you know NOTHING about rap.

You realize only 2 albums in the history of female rap have ever reached those numbers? And for a big name female pop star, those aren’t amazing numbers. Let’s just stop bringing Gaga into this.

But she’s THEEEE QUEEN of rap who promised us the industry will never be the same again after PF2 release while Gaga is a regular popstar

Nicki peers are Kesha, Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Katy, Gaga. I probably forget a lot of others pop artists are now very far away from these numbers.

 

Chromatica made in the Us 12.5M on spotify (3.3M with ariana e blackpink songs). So this is better especialy with a way greater numbers on AM.

 

 

These numbers for an artist in the pop scene from 15 years it's good. Taylor and Beyoncè are two expections. 

 

Just because she's cringe and create expectations are out of reach doesn't change what the big picture is. And I hated this album. 

 

 

Didn't Chromatica do 48m with way less songs 13-16 songs. This is in no way better, but if that makes you feel better then sure! It's so funny seeing stans trying to put their mind at ease. A job is needed!

Nicki Minaj is the female rap version of Taylor Swift : Their numbers are driven by their huge and loyal fanbases and no one outside their fanbase is listening to them .

 

I expect these numbers to crash a lot over the week too, sadly .

CRITICAL AND COMMERCIAL BOMB

I blame that horrible AI album cover 

[punisher]

why do y’all act like female rap is like hyperpop-avante-grande-free jazz- electronic or something it ain’t that hard of a market to break… just last month a female rap song was the top of the charts

So because Madonna is the Queen of Pop, she should be selling more than Taylor Swift? Regardless of her age and how long she’s been in the industry? DUD.
 

And btw, her album will be the largest female rap debut since her own Queen in 2018, so yes. 

[Both Sides Now]

Beam Me Up Scotty suffered a 52.6% drop day 2. What are we predicting for Pink Friday 2?

Yeah, they definitely pull comparable numbers, you must be really smart to come up with this

Only song in the top 50 is the Drake feature and it completely missed the top 40. It's a bomb your honour

Madonna has 4 decades under her name and she released SEVERAL albums that changed pop music. What does Nicki have under her name? Ah yes, court appearances for herself, husband and brother.

 

Also, let's not act like these numbers aren't gonna go down drastically starting tomorrow. She still has to pull some numbers to achieve that debut you mention but she is definitely going to score the biggest 2nd week DROP.
