In the UK, they should go;

01. Starships
02. Pound The Alarm
03. Va Va Voom
04. Marilyn Monroe
05. Automatic
06. Whip It

!!!

I think it'll end up being:

0. Turn Me On
1. Starships
2. Pound The Alarm
3. Va Va Voom
4. Marilyn Monroe
5. Beautiful Sinner
6. Whip It (Remix)
7. Automatic (Remix)

with Masquerade promoted briefly when it's used for the upcoming Adidas campaign.

Nicki doesn't even need to be in the UK for these songs to sell, so as long as they each have a video and she does phone interviews for radio promo, I reckon they could all be smashes.

Should start appearing again in the singles chart next week, when it gets more and more downloads - the UK charts are sales-only.

Radio play will increase over next few weeks - the two biggest stations in the UK, Radio 1 and Capital FM, have both just playlisted the track, ready for all the UK promo over the summer.

I reckon it'll be her first UK #1. She'll be in the UK a lot this summer, at all the major festivals and performing not only her concerts but on UK TV and radio, so the track will get major exposure.

It hasn't even changed? Dark red?

There's no reason why they can't release 'Young Forever' to Pop along with other formats.

I'm here for 10 pop singles in the UK.

Slaying in Australia

Already made the C-List on Radio 1 in the UK. SMASH.

#5 should be Whip it
I think they should stop at #5 pop and 4/5 urban singles.

It's the UK. Unlikely they'll release any hip-hop singles here. Nicki's UK singles are firmly pop or R&B.

Beautiful Sinner is better

Marilyn Monroe has to be the next urban single.

It's a pop song though, so surely it'll target Mainstream, AC and Rhythmic?

Marilyn Monroe should never see the light of day as a single. In my opinion it should go:

1. Starships
2. Pound the Alarm
3. Automatic
4. Va Va Voom
5. Whip It
6. Masquerade

She should release Whip It so late because it's a surefire hit and won't need much promotion.

"Marilyn Monroe" was the highest charting album track on iTunes UK when the album was released. My friends, who aren't Nicki fans, say they can only bare "Starships", "Automatic" and "Marilyn Monroe". It seems those three are a general census of everybody I know.

Pound The Alarm debut #30 in Ireland. Right now #18 on iTunes

PEAKS SO FAR:

Ireland : #30
Australia : #33
Canada : #40
UK : #79

That's the worst pop song on the album.

Can't wait to hear it on Hot 97.
