Quote

With the biggest female rap debut of 2023, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 (Young Money/Republic) will open with an impressive 170-190k, easily #1 on next week’s HITS Top 50. RCA’s Tate McCrae is trending toward a first week of 40-50k, which would be largest opening of her career.

 

Nicki Minaj (Young Money/Republic) 170-190k
Tate McCrae (RCA) 40-50k

If you take a swig of holiday cider for every week Republic logged a #1 this year, you actually turn into Santa.

but honestly the way yall hyped Tate up for her to debut with such low numbers is just a reality check

[Nickimeetsatrl]

15 years into a career! This is amazing!

[Asscatchem]

too 2 and she aint #2  QUEEN of rap!

[YellowRibbon]

Barbz were all over Twitter screaming 400K - 500K for MONTHS... What happened? I thought months of preorders and several vinyl variants always translated to huge debuts

[Ger]

Great numbers for Nicki, hope Tate can do at least 50k+, because if not it's going to be disappointing ngl.

That’s it?

[DirtyPony87]

This isn’t too bad, right?

[Diet Pepsi]

less than 200k with 10 variants  not everyone can have Taylor level demand I see 

[Domination]

The second week drop will be entertaining 

[G.U.Y]

[mylicious]

Great numbers!

PF - 375k

PF RR - 253k

TPP - 244k

Queen - 185k

 

She needs that 190k to outsell her last

 

This isn't terrible imo but it could've done way more if the album quality was better, and she should have never hyped it up

way better than I thought for Nicki. She can end up higher than Queen.

 

Tate being a fad confirmed tho.

It’s good. Label probably wishes it was double but she’s not actually delivered quality so they’re just happy the core fanbase are engaged. 

[abelfenty]

But the Bawbz told us she’d break Lauryn’s record 

[Nickimeetsatrl]

They are delusional… everyone Rationale was expecting 150k, but I’m pretty sure they will go up to cross 200k!

[Truth Teller]

Nicki, like all artists with a fanbase, never had trouble with first weeks. Queen also did nearly 200k. The consistency is commendable, but the real trouble is giving the era legs and making it a success outside of the fanbase and I heard nothing on that unfinished demo project that can do that for her. Maybe one of the tracks she will tack on during the week will pull through

[ALA]

I wonder how many physicals she will sell. The fact it was not clear the full album would not be on the vinyl good thing I didn't preorder it

[ImsoLOUD]

Queen of Rap!!!

[magazine]

that's amazing 

[Ivan_brit]

Pink Friday 2 is a hit  I predict 200k final numbers will go up… Me Thinks 

 

 

Tate doing 50k is what I was expecting also doing double Numbers compared to Camila Familia  

[Diet Pepsi]

what happened to the “most anticipated rap album of all time”

[Raspberries]

All those AI covers, 20+ tracks, vinyls (that shouldn't count), 3 months of pre-orders and not even 200k
