Regardless if. she wants this album to have legs, she's going to have to kill single choices. I believe the following songs could sell the albums: Crying Games, Feeling Myself, Get On Your Knees, Favorite, Four Door Aventador, Buy a Heart, The Night is Still Young, Trini Dem Girls, and Troufle Butter.

We still don't know for sure that it won't hit 200k she had a lot of promo set up after those first week sales.
I like you but please spare me the excuses because she had issues with tru and pf too as far as stocking is concerned. If people don't get it at their first store they can just as easily get it on iTunes, best buy Walmart etc.
That said I know someone that bought there's at a target on Monday.
I bought mine on tuesday and every store didn't have those issues.
That being said, there were quite a few stores that did which makes me hope the predictions will rise up to at least 180k and 200k with seas and teas included.
It's not target or the labels fault for it doing the numbers she literally had every promo opportunity
She had almost all mainstream awards and urban awards...summer jam...powerhouse...TV interviews...radio interviews...features...commercial etc.
What I would do to have some of my haves even do 1/4 of that.
She does more promo album week than some of my faves have done in a whole era.
It boils down to single choices...do you think the label pushed for pills n potions to be her single...
The sad part is that pnp should have never existed when she has the crying game, bed of lies, I lied and grand piano???
Considering GP was an earlier Track it should have been in pnps place.
Also sadly the only single that should have remained was anaconda and we knowing people with taste know that lyrically it's not great but the video is fantastic. All other songs should be replaced
LAN great buzz
Then anaconda in spring
Then truffle butter in summer
The grand piano to SELL the album during 4th quarter.
Delays in album completion
The gp just not buying into the new persona.
I think some of the gp has accepted her new and improved persona but probably believe she is doing so she doesn't end up the way gaga did overusing her out there persona until people grew tired.
I said this all through 2013 but I knew she was going in the down to earth, relatable image but I thought the public would eat it up. I thought that was the biggest complaint about her but either they accept it and don't care enough to support or they dont accept it and have moved on.
Either way there are many factors that don't have a thing to do with target or her label.
Artists would kill to have their label do the things they've done for nicki.
She has to release it! Plus it's #17 on iTunes and increasing, this song could be huge!
