blown away Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Ariana doesn't have mentally ill fans who bulk buy her albums. Instead she has the GP support, which will translate in longevity. Something the other one doesn't have. Even with the gazillion versions.
Material Girl Posted March 17 Posted March 17 both albums did well this is just bait for yall to get your tired nicki drags in
KOMH Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Pink Friday 2 had 25 tracks and completely bombed outside the US so the 1k difference was more than made up for.
modeblock Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Ariana run pop sis - I'm sure PF2 is still #1 in Gag City tho
Holiest Dreams Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Tbf PF2 had like twice the amount of tracks (not saying this automatically equals better streams but Ariana had a much higher average per track in this case) + a bunch of deluxe editions + Nicki comes from the pre-streaming era and has a bigger buying base. And none of these things are bad, I’m just stating facts. To say the least, I’m not a fan of either of these ladies but was a thread over a 1k difference really necessary dd
MusicLoverDude Posted March 18 Posted March 18 If she had been able to do Tik Tok promo, she likely would have cleared that 1k difference with ease. Given that Nicki's album was poorly received and had poor longetivity, I don't think bragging about the first week numbers is a good idea.

Then you don't know ish about the industry. Olivia and Billie are very big but Ariana is a bigger streaming force. None of these three are catering to a public that buys albums but to a public where the majority streams them. Hate to break it to you but Ari's latest single is bigger than all the singles from the recent albums of Billie and Olivia. 1
cuteboyzay Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) Barbz stop embarrassing yourselves challenge And at least Ariana doesn’t have to warn the entire block about her arrival. My GOSH. Edited March 18 by cuteboyzay
ZacXCX Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) I was told yes, and? was an abominable panned flop frontloaded lead single and that her Witness era was coming due to backlash, so is it that impressive if Nicki did 1k more units with mega smash hit Super Freaky Girl and almost double the tracks? You tell me, girl. Edited March 18 by ZacXCX
Diet Pepsi Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Ariana didn’t have to resort to scamming her fans or selling her album for $5 1
Genie in a Bottle Posted March 18 Posted March 18 (edited) I mean, she didn’t release an album for four years and her fanbase is aging and broke (they’re all like, post-college looking for jobs in this economy, probably have less access to parents credit cards). Unlike Nicki’s stans, Ariana’s are relatively stable psychologically so they’re probably not going to sit and make bots or buy 72 copies of the album to inflate first week sales. Her numbers are not incredible for her standards, but she’ll probably snag another Top 10 because radio eats anything she does up and it’ll end up doing like, 5 times Nicki Minaj’s album in units in the long run lol Edited March 18 by Genie in a Bottle 2

Ari was never strong on fw sales. Her albums played more to longevity and staying power.
Maroonx Posted March 18 Posted March 18 LOL, check back when Nicki wins a Grammy and score multiple #1 albums and singles Barb... girl bai x
Aethereal Posted March 18 Posted March 18 It's all about longevity. Nicki always opened higher than Ariana in most cases expect for Queen, I think.
