So, we finally went GOLD....508,000

[jwinfield]

for instance, Beyonce last album only sold 198k first week, Rihanna album sold less than Nicki album first week... so I let ya'll tell it and Beyonce and Rihanna are both falling off and flopping, right?

Why you gotta make shyt up

Beyonce Notches 4th Billboard 200 No. 1 with '4' | Billboard.com

As expected, Beyonce's fourth solo studio album, "4," bounds in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 310,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.

it took rihanna 2 months to go gold as well

so i guess, according to ya'll, she lost right?

learn how the business works nikka. album sales are the least important thing to a pop artist

are people really this stupid?
All of a sudden you're an industry exec now? You "get how the business works"?

Like rappers, pop artists generate off the next single, but unlike rappers, pop artists live off their names and temporary supporters, not their fanbases

Nicki Minaj is not in the same lane as real pop artists, she has genuine support and an actual movement
Call me up when Nicki can do 90 mil in ticket sales like Rihanna

[Kimo_bud]

I think some of the nikkas in this thread are cash money/young money crew members...whats up nikkas

 

[TopKat]

Let's see if she got that Rihanns star power to keep on grinding.
If she does, she should keep releasing albums every 8 months like rihanna.

And lol @ Rihanna selling 600k in the UK, the countries population is smaller than cali+ny.

U got 75milli in between 2 states

So first week sales don't matter now?

 

[charmander]

So first week sales don't matter now?

they're just nice accomplishments to have and brag about, but for elite pop stars like nicki they dont have the same value to them

in fact, rappers are the only one who really give a shyt about first week sales and thats due to curtis woodface soundscan jackson making it such a big deal when he tried to clown other nikkas...now he's flopping worse than the nikkas he was clowning back then
