Rainbow was not a flop though. And no Erotica or Blackout singles charted as badly as AO2. R8 if they do not release an emergency smash will also sell much less than all those albums.

This is potentially Bionic level flop.

3.9m -> 1.7m -> 800k

"Anaconda" was such a water cooler moment (I still hear people break out into "my anaconda don't..." whenever it comes up) that the fact that she has declined so much has flown under the radar

Is Tidal Better Have My Exclusives the biggest urban hit of the year like the nevi promised?

Really, most contemporary careers only last about a decade, so nobody should be surprised about R8.

Madonna -> Erotica (9 years)
Mariah Carey -> Rainbow (9 years)
BOMT -> Blackout (9 years)
Music Of The Sun -> R8 (9 years)

She's just following the path of almost all of the Pop girls before her.

Is 800K WW sales?

TPP era has generally been a win for Nicki in the US, though. She's re-gained her respect in hip-hop.

Sixth greatest gainer on Urban, but already losing A.I. on Rhythmic while not being in the Top 10.

So no.
