official chart HDD: Nicki 223k, Taylor 106k, Tate 66k (FINAL)

[Diet Pepsi]

Congrats on being the first artist in history to scam their fans into 200k, what a record breaking achievement

[Green]

Great numbers for Nicki Minaj. She's doing better than Queen 5 years later

[Tistotal]

not "decent", "expecting more" and "fraud" being named here when she is openning with ~200k, anything above 150k is very good for 2023, y'all need to admit sometimes haters lose. 

Happy for Queen, she has such a solid fan base.

[UnusualBoy]

200k is so good, I mean only 79k of those are from sales so she is doing some damage in streaming, go Onika

[Green]

Tate is also doing better than expected. I hope it goes top 5

[Rico Shameless v2]

Nicki could’ve done 350k and the girls would still laugh for likes. It wasn’t a week ago some of the same folks were claiming she was “scared” of Tate  

[imabadkid]

Good numbers TBH... it's 2023, not 2012.

I would love this

[Oxygen]

Aren’t her physicals likely going to be excluded from Billboard due to the track lists being different, just like Encanto’s vinyls were excluded?

I saw something saying that because Encanto was a compilation with different artists, it wasn't credited. but this is all nicki songs so it probably will. It's a weird loophole. I don't think a physical with less than half of the still unfinished product should be counted though.

A standard version and a deluxe on streaming

I can be delusional but I think they are underestimating her sales. Barbz are know for going hard in the end. I honestly see her doing 220-250k in the end 

[dumbsparce]

It's kinda crazy how this would have been her 5th #1 album if she released on quieter weeks. Still, a 5th top 2 album for a female rapper is unheard of. Has any other femcee done that?

[dumbsparce]

After these news the barbs will do everything in their power to secure it passes 200k. It'll probably finish the week at ~210k.

I guess this is success in a "Nicki Minaj female rap album released in 2023" kind of way but it's a little comical to me.

Chromatica had 274k

RENAISSANCE was 300k+

Taylor does everything and more and I'm guessing if Rihanna dropped something it would clear at least 250k.

For all the "competing with the pop girls" nostalgia talk Barbz like to do on other female rappers these album sales

Hmm. Ok 200k+ is more like it for the abuse barbz hurl at other female rappers for their sales.

 

This being said though it is still not leading the pack infact it's still trailing (significantly) behind all her popstar peers 

 

But this is better than 150-170k prediction. That was tragic

[truthteller]

200k is a very respectable number in 2023. People who say no are still in denial phase. 

[IBeMe]

They both overperformed  Amazing numbers for the two of them tbh

[Aethereal]

200K is amazing.

[Konril]

200k is great.

yeaaa idk, the album isn't called Pink Friday 2: Deluxe on Spotify at least. It's just Pink Friday 2.

on her fifth album  

 

not everybody has that 

From her peers in overall music, Nicki is up there with Taylor, Adele, Gaga and Rihanna to sell more than 200k in first week sales with a fifth album. Only Katy didn't manage to do this.

Congrats to Nicki! Attempting to scam your fans is uncouth, but the fans lapping up the scams is hilarious. She’s a bit of a mastermind!
