The fact that I'm more excited for The Re-Up than I was for PF:RR.
once i heard young forever, MM, stupid hoe, i lost my hype for PFRR. I wanted a full rap album with only like 2 pop songs and like 1 ballad. freedom and the boys both met my expectations which were very high
theres still more parts of the interview w/ westwood to be released guys! i can tell nicki loves tim, she never seems annoyed when she's interviewed by him. tim westwood stans hard for her too
She did acknowledge that most re-releases don't sell well but they usually have 2-3 songs.
This will have 8 songs and will be promoted at least in the first few weeks like a new album with 90 minutes DVD and being SOLD at the price of a regular 12-16 track album.
YASSS, NIcki like my plan stated she will release in 2013...She better do it November 2013...it would be epic.
Release winter singles (Marilyn monroe/new urban single)
Release spring singles (Whip it/new urban single)
Summer US tour and E! show for fashion empire
Fall rapping up album (She'll be recording during off time in AI and while on tour)
If she is smart the re-up songs will get them fair weather fans back...if not with freedom, with the 2nd urban single, if not with the 2nd urban single then the 3rd.
3RD ERA NOVEMBER 2013...getting it right.
LET ME REPOST my predictions again.
Today
I hope it is more like 100-150k.
She does have her Alicia and bieber features but for her work
Freedom song
Freedom video
Va va voom song
va va voom video
90 minutes of BTS DVD
Perfume commercial
AMA wins
AMA performance of Freedom/VVV
Edit: E! specials and reruns
She has from now until the 23rd to do a promo blitz on radio and tv shows.
I don't think it is an accident that they left two weeks in between tour during the album release.
She most likely will do Ellen, Today show/GMA, Chelsea Lately, Tonight show/ david letterman and Ryan seacrest again/KISS FM/Jojo, the charlamagne show and maybe another radio show
Then once she finishes her tour Dec 8 she will probably knock out the Marilyn monroe video and another urban single (i.e. I'm legit, up in flames) and enjoy the xmas holiday and do some club event for new years
Then from Jan-May it will be all about AI, Grammy's and Billboard performances
Then the DVD, US tour and clothing line after that....then end of 2013 her 3rd era.
THEN she will break. Most artists need to secure 3 successful eras before they can afford a break.
She has this all planned out...remember, she can see the future.
As i said this summer,
B]Release schedule:[/B]
2x plat Nov 2010
1x plat with November re-release/ April 2012 + release
2x plat Nov 2013 work 6+ singles (4-6 months off)
1x plat Nov 2015
1x plat Nov 2017
Eventually 2x platinum Nov 2019 (greatest hits for her 5 albums)
Best selling female rap album artist ever and of course of the decade
Billboard year end decade charts
Rank top 10 with the pop gurls and boys. She and Drake can share top 10 since Weezy might not get there, Jay, Kanye and the greats sales are leveling out. But Eminem might still be in the game.
Based on the sales of her work:
Estimated
29m us single and non single sales (25m riaa certified singles)+4.5m singles worldwide+4m albums worldwide
37.5m records in 2 years.
This is only 1/3 or 2/3s through the era,without a dvd, without pta, mm, vvv, wi, champion and future features.
I believe she can amass 50m with more.pull from mm and vvv by end of pfrr era.
3 more albums since she claims to only want to do 5 albums and bow out.gracefully (some ppl need to take notes)...she will certainly amass 50m more records between 3 more eras.
100 milli here we come.
With at least 3 albums and 20+ more features this decade I believe she will secure 100m records (and she will be the first female rapper to do it)...20m will be from albums and also be the most charted female artist in hot 100 history...I'm banking on it.
She really made my day when she said that breaking records turned her on and kept her driven.
I want her to achieve the following:
-Most charted female on hot 100 (currently #9 should be #6 by the end of this era alone)
-Most #1s on hip hip charts for female currently tied with missy with 4
-The only female rapper to sell 100m records
-have all her albums sell 3m ww
-rank top 20 overall and top 5 rap for.most successful albums in the u.s. (currently #14 with pf: 1.85m)
-numerous #1 albums ww (so far she has for the us, UK, Japan, Canada and ww charts).
-5 consecutive #1 albums
-a handful of grammys
-bma, vma, ama, ema, rma, wma tca, pca awards)
-eventual superbowl performance of her own
- consistent 6-8 singles released per album garnering 6 top 40s each era.
-surpass missy Elliott as having the most successful album female rap of all time (sold 2.1m) I believe if they play their cards right with November release next era and the right hybrid hip pop songs (2), pop songs (3), and.urban songs (3)...it can work.
-at least 2#1 hot 100 songs since there are only 6 female rap artist with #1s (mainly features) to their name.
-at least 15 top 10 hot 100 hits
-making her entry into the top 10 of forbes July 2013...generating close to 40m this year)
-continued ad deals (opi, mac, Pepsi, adidas etc.)
-continued headlining tours...merchandising game on point (name a rap bish that could do it...alone).
-continued 360 publishing and royalties
-record breaking fragrance deals
-wig line
-apparel line/clothes, bags, jewelry, shoes, baby clothes (yeah I said it...babies got to have swag practically coming out of the womb)
-somewhat of an acting career (continued voice for animated movies, some dramatic roles, a couple of comedies, and some villianesque jolie type roles). I guess a Tyler Perry hood role won't hurt
-snl skits
- one of the few rappers to get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame
- I want her to be worth over 300m before she bows out since missy is worth around 200m
- kids and a husband as she said in her late 30s...keys under palm trees chillin (sb is the babysitter)
-achieving all this while the thirsty and hungry lames call her crazy, fake, a sellout, and all bad things...
BASICALLY A BLUEPRINT SHOWING THESE FEMALE RAPPERS HOW TO DO IT. (Out of my mind nicki voice "Hallelujah").
Now that's a nicki stat stan post...check my credentials barbz ( career budget analyst by day...nicki stat accolade achievement analyst) any other time
As I Said in the Fall,
Yes. It will be a 3 disc collection.
1st disc 21 songs from the PF:RR unless they take out turn me on or another bonus track
2nd disc 7 new songs from the re up disc + va va voom (rumored, not confirmed)
3rd disc 90 minutes DVD of behind the scene
Now a double disc could be counted twice for certification so if the 28 songs exceed 100 minutes it could mean the album will count as 2 shipments.
For instance,
Shania twain Up album over 5M sold certified 11x platinum
Jay z Blueprint 2 sold a little over 2M is certified 3x platinum and could easily be certified 4x platinum
Outkast Speakerboxx/love below 2 disc exceeding 100 minutes sold over 5M but is certified 11x platinum
Garth brook Double live 10.5M sold 21x platinum
Now the deluxe album currently runs 79.09 minutes long - Va va voom since the rumor is that bonus track will be moved to the re up 2nd disc (74.06) just with the 1st disc alone. With 7 more songs (28) with PF RR averaging at least 3.5 minutes per song, she could easily surpass 100 minutes just with the first two discs (3.5*7) = 99.2Minutes.
Knowing her, she probably just put enough to secure 100M
Knowing her team, they probably put 99.2M enough to miss the cutoff :
Anyways, with the va va voom slayage and hopefully a hit urban single out by November she could pull off at least 100k first week for the re-up and 300k in total for the remaining 5 weeks in 2012 it is quite possible she could finally hit the 1M in sales (not just shipments) and be certified 2x platinum. With Marilyn monroe, another urban single, whip it and a closing urban single (preferably Champion) if she could garner up enough sales to hit 1.3-1.5 by the end of the era it could easily be certified 3x platinum and with her increase in sales worldwide so far she could end up meeting that goal of hers to sell a.ka. ship 5M WW.
Pink Friday sold over 3M (1.8M)...if she sells around 1.3-1.5 by the end and her singles are hits ww she could at least get somewhere between 3-5MWW.
On this being one of the messiest eras ever.
True, but its her own faults. She choose to take the risk and not go the safe route. I respect her for doing that as an artist.
She had an urgency to release SH even though she had already won.
She released SS even after getting flack from urban radio. But SS paid off as it is the top 5 selling single of the year WW (over 6M sold).
She achieved a record with SS.
The way she said that re-releases don't really sell well, and she's releasing it to keep her fans going till 2013 made it seem like she isn't really going to promote it... I mean, tbh, anything over 66,000 will be great.
Let's hope the new songs live up to her standards!
2012 + release
