I'm not here for inflated, inaccurate sales. Why would you even need to inflate them, her album sales are massive for an artist who debuted in the digital age. They're even good by 1999 standards.

yeah. this person's got the sales wrong. funny because he is an hater

The Fame Monster is deemed as a 2nd album seeing as it charted seperately in America. And also the reaosn why The Fame has sold so much is because theres a version of the album with the TFM tracks and The Fame tracks and they count those sales as The Fame.

Can't get a top ten hit?
Ummm... BedRock and Bottoms Up soon enough!
Not to mention, Lil Wayne - who also can't get many top ten hits but has amazing album sales - is her mentor. I think she's got it handled.

those are not her singles! BedRock did not make it into the top ten because of Nicki. that's like saying the 2003 VMA performance by Brit/Madonna and Christina is iconic because of the latter.

Massive Attack was a huge flop. Your Love barely cracked the top 15. GURL, PLEASE!

and LOL at Lil Wayne not getting top ten hits. The Carter III had three consecutive top ten hits.

Even in America and other countries it's not a full-length. Billboard tracks it as an EP and Gaga has called it one as well.

TFM is either a rerelease or an EP or both, depending on the country. BTW is the second full-length studio album.

She is still huge though. And she was featured on like 20 hits this year, including Bedrock which went #2.

she can't do it on her own. there was an article about this posted a couple weeks ago. Nicki will not have more success than Katy, Rihanna OR Ke$ha.

[KRL]

Nicki still has a big fan base.

BedRock is a group single... if DC singles count for Beyonce then YM singles count for Nicki too! As for Bottoms Up, when it goes top ten next week, are you seriously going to say it was because of Trey?

Your Love was a massive success, not every hit song is top ten. Bye hater!

yes, it counts as her top ten single but it did NOT make it into the top ten BECAUSE of Nicki Minaj. What don't you understand about that?

stop discrediting Trey. he has gone into the top ten before.

Yeah, like a typical re-release.

Anyway, didn't Gaga debut at a worse time for album sales than Rihanna? Hasn't she been around much less time and put out far fewer albums? Hasn't she already outsold her in the US and is close to outselling her worldwide?

IDC, it's still a top ten for Nicki!
Not many rap songs can crossover and thus not many go top ten. However, Your Love was top 20 on the Hot 100 and a rap #1, which has been undoable by a solo female for eight years!

Trey got lucky with Say Aah. Bottoms Up is a terrible song and it would not be successful if it weren't for Nicki. Don't try to play.

So 8 track EPs are considered studio albums?

it's still a top ten but it wasn't because of her! stop acting like a delusional stan. Nicki will fail. She's going to have a hard time with sales. JUST WAIT AND WATCH. we will postpone this conversation for November when she won't open up with more than 150k.

Nicki is such a wild card. She seems to have a lot of fans and supporters, and a LOT of hype. People like her. But being featured on 1,393,030,0390 songs doesn't guarantee your album will sell. Especially because she's better as a feature artist than as the main artist for some reason.

Cherry, you're giving her too much premature credit (and Bottoms Up is catchy as hell).

Cahleb, you're writing her off too soon.

Nicki may not be the best with singles but if she keeps following all of the tricks that made her mentor a star, she will open in the 300-500K range come Billboard issue dated December 4, 2010.

Bottoms Up is too urban to be a major success in America. It probably would have been top 40 without Nicki and her epic verse but there's no way it could have even made it into the top 30 without her.
