Nicki is album artist. She averages 1-2 top 10 singles (from her album) each era. She only had 1 top ten singles from her album this era but who cares about single sales when you are an album seller right?

In the us:
Pink Friday - 2 million
PF:RR - 1 million
PP: 700k
She decreasing with every album and now that she isnt using pop songs as a career savior, she'll decrease even more.

So what happens when an album seller cant sell albums? They flop

Who care when she is the female rapper selling the most albums by large margins per era and has the top 2 best selling songs by a female rapper ever.

It didn't do thaaaat bad but it could've done better due to poor single choices

Rimo

It did underperform

Rayaine

By nicki's standards it flopped

Girlicious

It underperformed for sure. I wouldn't say a complete flop, but it didn't do that great especially considering that the album itself didn't sell as much as her and her label put into it and wanted it to. Also every single except one was a complete flop and disaster (and she's released like 8!)

TB and FM was smashing and Nicki didn't want to promote them. Both songs smashed with just radio play.

Well it was kinda hard to do Truffle Butter considering it was an iTunes only release and people would be complaining about it not being on physical.

FM was amazing tho and Nicki should have promoted it.

Lmao, as people here said, being a rap album is not an excuse like at all. 7

a) Rap albums sells as much (or even more in some cases) as pop albums
b) It's not like PinkPrint is an avant garde rap album lmao. It's mainly pop (The Night Is Still Young, Pills N' Potions, Bed Of Lies and even Anaconda are pure pop tracks)

YUNGKALIMXEL

It was an underperformance. And it wasn't fully-fledged rap, it actually has a few basic pop songs.

BritneyFatale

In the US it just underperformed
Everywhere else it tanked

As an era, it was bigger than the music itself.

She's been literally everywhere, she's still fresh in people's minds, they still care, that's what I'd consider important.

But if you look at just her stats

embarrassing. Awful single choices, ignoring her global markets, bizzare promo, genuinely terrible album sales. People here know she released Anaconda, but they have no clue an album was out and they don't know any of the songs. It was a mess.

All things considered campaign-wise it did okay, but to call it successful is a reach.

2014

It flopped.

After 7 singles it failed to sell 700k

Darius

I seriously did not understand her single choices. WHO TF releases 'Only' when 'Truffle Butter' exists? 'Bed of Lies' when 'Feeling Myself' exists? Even 'Want Some More' would have been a better choice then the songs she released!

Nein

Yes it did

Whiskey Mouth

There should be no excuse for this, tbh.

Not when the album was promoted heavily, had big name collaborations, she did endless collabs for other albums this era, and has pushed countless singles. The "it's a rap album" shtick doesn't really fit here when rappers lately have been on top of their game, and not even crossing the 1 million mark WW yet almost a year after release is definitely not good. I mean, if ATRL deemed some albums with half the singles, and double the sales a "flop", then why not label this one a flop too?

I will say it bombed.
