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

Why you gotta make shyt up

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



4 (Beyoncé Knowles album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Went plat 5 weeks after release

you right, my fault

my point still stands, though

beyonce and rihanna both had similar first week numbers to nicki. nothing to gawk about at all... both around 300k respectively

roman reloaded sold 250k and went gold in two months, rihanna went gold in 2 months...

so according to ya'll beyonce and rihanna also flopped on first week sales and are a starting to fall off?

dont count our money nikka worry bout yours

trust me i'm not worrying about your social security check

 

[villain]

So first week sales don't matter now?

record sales are unimportant on the whole

they make up less than 1% of an artist's income... they're not even a good gauge for popularity any more since the internet exists and more people purchase singles than albums

for instance, Take Care did 700k first week

Beyonce did significantly less numbers first week, is Beyonce less popular than Drake?

considering her WW and single/digital sales (Starships is 3x plat, Superbass is nearing 4 & she has 2 other gold singles as well), she's doing fine. she is still on pace to go platinum (she's shipped that much at least) so i dont know what the doom and gloom is about.

Endorsements and placement are key and she has those, Nicki isnt going anywhere.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of artists going gold THIS year.

 

[H.R. Pufnstuf]

I genuinely don't see this ho having any longevity, its all down hill from here

thats great for me bcuz that's when these bytches usually have "accidents" and hacked phones to boost their shyt

wtf is this nikka talking about?? you basically making our case for us

nicki is DEFINITELY in the same top tier of pop artists as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna...plus we got the Barbz on deck, the most rabid and intense and dedicated fanbase in music today...we gettin Bieber money fakkit holla back

stop it 5, your stannery is disgusting
Nicki Minaj on the same plateau as lady gaga, beyonce, rihanna, and madonna

name 5 more popular females in music or pop culture right now, ill wait

no one gives a fukk about nicki anymore but she...

1. performed at the superbowl
2. is doing a global arena tour
3. performed at the all star game
4. had a 30 minute perofrmance at the grammys that was the most talked about in grammy history
5. shut down twitter when she deleted her account with 11 million followers
6. was the biggest news story at summer jam a couple days ago

Beyonce? No, she went plat after 5 weeks.

And Rihanna always sells around that amount the first week, but after 20 singles gets to platinum.

we did it my nikkas

this is just the beginning though

nikkas talk about nicki flopped without even realizing that she entered a new music lane. Nicki Minaj is now known as a POP ARTIST and POP ARTISTS don't sell like hip hop artists

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?

Beyonce album was a major flop and Rihanna never did big numbers. She just release like 5 #1 hit records every album and crawl to platinum everytime.They both actually release good music also.

that's my point

you got nikkas in here saying Nicki flopped and is falling off meanwhile her album sale patterns are mimicking the same as Rihanna's, who nobody in their right mind would say is falling off and flopping...

proving that first week sales has nothing to do with whether or not an artist is "falling off" or losing popularity

even if you wanna say her album sales are indicative of her declining popularity, you have to put that in perspective with her other ventures like my nikka charmander just pointed out above

rich gang, suckas

 

[Kings County]

double plat by the end of the year

delusional ass nikkas
